I'm after an "old school" garage door lock for a timber up and over door. The type that puts the opening/closing handle at about waist height, then with a long rod that goes into a hole drilled in the ground. (Yes, I know the hole will need to keep being cleaned out). I'm really struggling trying to find anything other than high security, "strong arm" types where the user has to bend to reach the floor. Any ideas? Cheers

...people who live in underground glass houses etc.

I know where all the bodies are buried! 😉

An MVHR unit stands for mechanical ventilation and heat recovery. They can be single room or whole house. It removes stale, warm, moist air and blows it over a heat exchanger. It recovers the expelled heat and warms the cold, fresh air coming into the house. A benefit is the air is constantly changing and in some respects it also acts like a hoover, expelling a lot of what would otherwise become house dust. Things like minute organic particles like dead skin cells and mould spores. I would say a lot of yours is a cold bridging issue at wall window junctions. Borrowing a thermal.camera would be interesting I bet. When it gets colder I'll borrow my nephew's FLIR one and take some pics here.

Tell me!

Behave, there are limits!

Apparently it is English! 😂

@zoothorn should read this comment.

Is a building(s) within a building an option? Say you have a 2/4 post lift and most of your work uses that. Build a tall, insulated garage. Then maybe a small, seperate welding booth. Poly tunnel for spraying. Storage of cars etc just goes in the cold, main envelope. In Carcoons if needed. Perhaps a garden shed as the tea room etc. The main building shell then just acts as a first line of defence.

Welcome. I'm longing for a Patsy from Cornwall to join the forum. Wonder what her username could be...

Ref the FM330: - Storage Store in shaded dry conditions between +10°C and +25°C. Store canisters upright. The product is contained in a pressurised container - observe storage instructions and do not apply heat. - Shelf Life 15 months when stored as recommended in original unopened containers

Can I squirt gun cleaner down it first?

You could easily lose your neighbour in 900mm if you do end up having to back fill.....

It was more I couldn't get my hands around the can...

Yep. I've just gone and shaken two cans of FM330 and a can of Soudal Low Expansion foam. All 3 dated 12/2023. They all are unopened, so full and all make a slopping sound. Doing it for some reason I thought of @pocster.....

'Nuff said.

Have you unscrewed the adjuster at the back?

22 year old please! Yeah I know and you'll have one as well!

Until I clear the vegetation I won't know tbh. It's probably next door's ivy holding it all together!

Standard SF/TS gun here, works a treat.

If necessary yes. If the lid is as ****ed as I think it is. It might not stand up to having another slab cast on top. My neighbours is under his drive and of similar vintage. It collapsed when he drove over it in his Range Rover.
