Ok - well that’s acceptable. I’ve no idea what size of cherry picker I would need . When I was younger and even more stupid 20 yrs ago I bought this flat off plan . I’ve never seen it …. 🤣 . I think the issue is that the flue travels through the building etc . Can you reline a failed flue ? Or just the whole thing be replaced ? . It’s not a nice straight easy access run apparently….

Yeah but what I’m thinking is cherry picker , Labour , flue material - costs is going to be £1,000’s . Flat runs at a (expletive deleted)ing loss anyway . Considering removing gas boiler , replace with electric . Only 2 rads in the flat replace those also . Googling shows my electric boiler and 2 rads around 1k + install cost of course . Ffs ! Just getting over Covid - not the Monday news I need 😔

Have a crappy flat in Birmingham where the flue has failed ( not blocked ) . It’s apparently around 6m long and runs through other walls before coming out . Gas guy initially charged £300 to turn off the gas once he realised what the issue was . Now for a new flue will require a cherry picker . I’m assuming this isn’t going to be cheap . Wondering if it’s cheaper / easier to replace gas boiler with electric …??

I’m not knocking the fact you did it . But are we related ? - there’s a 5 month gap ….

Title describes me also

Global thermal nuclear war might alter the climate a bit ; best prepare for that .

Teach me !!!

Can’t wait to see your proposal!

When ya gotta go …

That’s a big word . Doctor told me that’s what I excrete …

I made SWMBO an automated irrigation system ; it works well . Currently I use a transparent tank outside so she can see when it’s low and fill it up . Don’t trust any HA device off the mains to fill the tank and one day fail . Problem is as the tanks transparent it’s not uv stable but it’s easy ( without going outside ) too see the water level is low and top it up . So I can’t use a transparent tank . A non transparent is fine but I can’t find a ‘simple’ mechanical device that shows the water level ( like a flag on a buoy ! ) . Trying to spend very little on this 😊 Any suggestions?

Sometimes things just work out perfectly don’t they …

Is this bit a sex dungeon cunningly disguised as a garage ?

Looks awesome ! So @bob the builder 2 now that you’ve finished and obviously bored …. Care to help out on my project ?

I have all the solutions to everything, bare with me …. prisons . Execute all those mofo’s . That would then be a good incentive to potential future criminals . Those empty prisons ( now ) can be converted into accommodation. Don’t thank me - send money ( PayPal is preferred )

I think @Onoff will be in trouble ; looks like it would easily catch an inch or 2

I think that’s an intentional benefit …

Sex sheds are notoriously difficult to break into ; but even more difficult to break out of ! 😉

@graham-l . There’s certain things all us Bristolians are good at apart from knifes and bodies in suitcases - it’s building 👍

DNO ‘s can certainly be hostile . I argued with mine for a yr to allow more export ( stuck at 3.6kw ) . They wouldn’t budge . Hence went down the Solaredge I.e dc battery route . Multiple reasons ( probably did a thread on it on here ) . Problem was infrastructure needs upgrading and there were zero plans to do that .

18 months into 8 month build . Thats nothing mate ! - I’m 12 yrs into a build of “ yet to be established timeframe “ . You’re either shite like me , lazy , incompetent or just a legend ( also like me ) 👍

Must limit consumption per household ; otherwise you could fill your boots . Good concept though .

I used to have the original squeezebox players also . Been using lms on pi’s for years ; some running continuously for over 4 yrs now .

I’d argue the toss over not allowed to build down . What’s the issue ? . Volume increases so what ? - assuming not adding extra bedrooms etc . You need a proper answer to why not down . When you get wishy washy catch all reasons “ detrimental to the local amenity “ - they need to explicitly define that fragile grasped straw .
