Strap a structural steel to it - sorted !

Exactly the philosophy I apply on my build 🙄

The other benefit of a battery ( be it EV or home ) is you can fill yer boots at off peak rate . This is the best option during winter months when PV is negligible. A battery isn’t just for summer - it’s for winter also 😁

I suffer this fate also .

That’s highly questionable…..

It’s true . 6.5 years is impressive speed

I had to look that up . Google came back with “ date sex “ . We haven’t had a date yet but I’m hopeful 😉

I agree . I’ve lost years because of this forum not to mention the financial impact . I reckon I’ve lost maybe 6 months of my life just reading @Onoff ‘s novels .

I blame this forum . Spend all my time posting crap and commenting on crap . If it wasn’t for this forum would of finished my build years ago . Tempted to sue for compensation but haven’t got time as I need to reply to this post .

When you plant your seed ; you usually need to wait 9 months 😉

No . It’s shite . He’s not a professional in any sense of the word

I love those stairs . Like a dragons spine with Daenerys Targaryen walking down them naked - oops sorry , one of my many fantasies…

What type of movies do you wish to show ? . Asking for a friend

You’ll always go lower ; you know that 😉

What colour does it show when glory hole ‘ in use ‘ ?

Did have them also

I had slow worms , lizards and an American garter snake as pets when I was a kid . I did have no friends also .

Only the battery variety…

The glory hole greeting !

True . But you could argue the same for using your own generated electricity ( not just carbon saving ) I.e creates jobs / investment etc etc . My ‘ principle ‘ was to be less dependent on infrastructure; where possible .

I looked into this . Even have a non return valve in an access chamber installed as requested by the water company specifically for this . ROI was bad . But like others that’s not really the issue . So instead I spent the rain water recovery ear marked money on pv . Amount of water a toilet or washer needs is quite small . A rainwater butt outside fed off the roof will provide enough storage to water the garden . If I had more money I would of installed it as a matter of principle .

Typical Cornish response . Your house powered by coal and cream teas

Even my toothbrush doesnt charge from poe . But it does have Bluetooth to an app . It shows we how well I brushed my teeth . I got (expletive deleted)ed off with it . Now it just shows a sad face .

Agree that automation should “ just happen “ where possible . I do have my own web interface so I can play / spy - SWMBO doesn’t use it nor need to . Cat 5/6 everywhere . Then you can add sensors etc. you wish ( even if the cat cable is simply for poe ) . I use z wave ; but ultimately that will be replaced / become redundant . All my wiring does go back to a central “ the bridge “ command centre . If I sold the house it wouldn’t be too difficult to make it ‘normal ‘ again .
