Ducting extractor hob on a kitchen island to outside wall
dpmiller replied to CJER's topic in Ventilation
regardless of it being room-sealed I don't believe you can have a woodstove in a room which has an extractor of any kind. Read the B-Regs very closely for your jurisdiction... -
Installing a roof window at wall plate height?
dpmiller replied to Digmixfill's topic in Skylights & Roof Windows
would it be easier if you did a matching wall window attached to it- is there a worthwhile view? -

not everyone who trades is above the VAT threshold...

buy a torque wrench?

there was certainly a massive range of levels of completeness and support when we were dealing over ours. I'm really glad we went with our second option. @Kevan Marshall drop me a PM if you want an overview...

and they were definitely GSE?

Pretty sure they're injection moulded.

Exploring the ratios and losses between building elements

But leakage @50Pa would be much much more than leakage in normal conditions surely? -
that's just an external antenna. You'll need the booster and it's internal antenna too?

Vaillant ashp (my battle with).
dpmiller replied to zoothorn's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
one could always try not even moving the thermostat but just turning it up a few degrees. Wherever the tank is will still track the rest of the house, even if it's a wee bit higher... -
Interesting couple of days with the new heat pump.

certainly with the older coolenergy units there is a selectable overshoot as well as the PID settings being accessible -
Time for some new Makita goodies- any good deals on?

@SteamyTea are you confusing impact drills and impact drivers? -
Am I right in thinking the standing charges/ delivery costs are much higher in the US?

I had a makita-fit 6" chainsaw that came from the south american river shop and got a couple of years out of it till the brushes went catastrophically in the motor replaced it wth a similar one but BL this time and it was under £30 with two batteries, a slow charger, and a spare chain... -

oddly enough, the crappiest item I have is a DeWalt circular saw- Binds up mid-cut if you so much as look at it the wrong way... conversely tho, my mate has all Parkside stuff. One of the best items he has is a cute looking wee 3.5" circular saw. Amazing thing, absolutely steams it's way through anything even at max depth of cut. -

the fake stuff is great now- I've got both turquoise and yellow flavours -
isn't this done with Hydro?

Interesting couple of days with the new heat pump.
dpmiller replied to MikeSharp01's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
Can you pop another pump is series to help the flow in that loop? The internal pump on our IVT9 is a bit marginal so I've an external Wilo to support it. Either will *just* satisfy the flow switch so with the externl pump ticking over it allows the Carel to modulate the internal pump nicely -
our pro digger guy was unfazed by the play in my TB125. I replaced the bucket pins and the banana links and pins which helped a lot and it still clanks around a bit but it's really not the end of the world on fitting new bushes- presuming they are press in ( the dipper end on mine is torch off/ weld on) then yes it's likely to be a bit more force than (say) a suspension bush in a car. Heat and liquid nitrogen might both be needed... then there's always the possibility of them being reamed or linebored afterwards

what has Ireland got to do with it?
-
if you can't get the old'uns out, how do you think you'll manage to get the new parts in... which bushes is it, and do you have new/ good pins too? Pins alone might help and anyway, a wee bit of play is a good learning experience I reckon

Whistling through expensive Norrsken front door - Driving me crazy
dpmiller replied to boxrick's topic in Doors & Door Frames
check the seals extremely carefully, that kind of peak hints at a small opening in my experience -
and it's windy out there too...
