Whats the recommended min spec on cameras now? 1080P? 4K? I think 4 cameras would give me enough coverage but I'd probably want an 8 channel box for future additions. Site plan is still as this one here except I now have a 6 foot gate. Even so its easily scaled. So, 1) front, 2) rear return to patio doors, 3 & 4) to cover the garden and approach to the house (bifold, back door and windows)

Probably tag @Nickfromwales and @PeterW Also tell us what model boiler you have. (mine is a Baxi duotec 33 which is a reasonably modern combi boiler)

Ok, so may as well look at a POE system. Getting power to locations is probably no easier. The POE stuff, do the cables terminate in a crimped plug? or do you individually wire strands into the camera? Or are they supplied with a fixed length lead that plugs into your box that does the work?

Its a deterrent and can be genuinely wireless (ergo, easy)

As per alarm Q. wireless and DIY capable. (Plus easy software setup. No setting Linux on an old toaster and run through your home network to a cheap server in Timbuktu through 26 VPN’s.) Current recommendations?

*bump* Current recommendations? specifically something that is DIY-able. Yale? Texecom? I’m assuming I will need a “proffessional” (sic) to wire in the control box - although there is an old alarm control box connected up already. Not is use though.

S**t the f*****g bed, it’s working.

Electrician came and connected it up but says he can't get the provided wireless thermostat and receiver to speak to each other.

Wet plumbing would just have been a neater solution into existing infrastructure and would probably work out cheaper from start to finish. It needs to be a very warm environment, its not just a feeling cold thing IR heating might work in this situation as it is to keep people warm Already using a heated under blanket on her table There's *enough* room. Must be doable then although I think the other spreader plates could be used

I can’t see an electrical system working with the build up, 40mm of wood?

I don’t want to touch the floor. It has 9mm ply + 14mm eng wood flooring on it that I have no wish to lift, nor put another floor finish on top.

I don’t see how you could loop it through a notch out of the top of the joist but I could see it being looped under each joist and then pressed against the underside of the floorboards with spreader plates. plus some creative insulation on these hanging loops. although the rad pipes in the crawl space aren’t insulated yet either ?

Asking for a friend Not really, its for me. My wife is complaining her work room isn't hot enough. Ergo, I'm going to have to get down into the crawl space and insulate under the floor but before I do that, I just want to check this isn't practicable as well.

Its taken 4 years to get this far... An example of how (or not) to connect to a conventional gas central heating system. The radiators operate at a hot water temperature, the UFH will need tepid water so you're going to need some further plumbing to mix the hot water with colder water to get it to the right temperature - which is what the TRV and curly wire on the UFH manifold is for. Mine is also for a single room - 1 zone - but its about 40m2 and been split into 4 loops with the manifold, 3 in the slab, 1 small loop in a suspended floor with insulation between joists and spreader plates topped with plywood and some tile backer board + tiles. Not exactly the best make up for UFH but its only a small area in the whole room - 6m2 It was planned that the manifold would be in the same room as the boiler so it has been relatively easy to get a full 22m pipe feed to the UFH manifold. As your boiler is in the loft, is there a suitable point in your existing radiator pipework where you can conveniently tee into the 22mm flow and return pipes for the boiler?

Livestock?

So they’ve plumbed it but waiting for an electrician. They’ve taken 22mm feeds from closer to the boiler and installed a number of valves leaving the existing 15mm stubs redundant

If this prediction comes true, the UK will already have become one of the most populous nations in Europe and there will be tens of millions of climate refugees. I’m not sure that ‘moving north a bit’ is going to cut it.

Just wish I knew 4 years ago not to bring the pipes up exactly where 2 kitchen units need to meet ?

Climatically unpleasant for whom? What you would expect in this situation is for the ‘southern softies’ to migrate north and people from warmer climes to move into the south east of England because it’s not actually that warm for them. Would also be cheaper than all those A/C units.

So, taking a stab at a very good value deal - £6000 to install a typical solar array and fit 2 split a/c units to 4 million homes in south east puts us at £24Bn. Over 10-20 years is not a lot per year. But this solution only makes things more comfortable for people it doesn’t do much to help solve the underlying problem.

Is that about half the size of a typical UK set-up?

Assuming that no one would bother with passive measures such as insulation (which is probably fair), how much extra electrical demand would that require and realistically what size of individual solar array would you need to run a small domestic A/C set-up? Let’s assume that I mean that’s 2 of those single room units you’re getting.

I’m going where the article took me. London is going to get hot and they are not prepared. We all know that 99% of home in this country are poor quality and yet this isn’t worth journalistic attention unless it directly affects those in the London bubble. I look forward to reading about workable solutions that are politically acceptable.

Hello Mr Climate Crisis, let me introduce you to Mr Open Borders. let me guess, any solutions will involve making the rest of the country poorer to make the South East bubble even more unsustainable?

I don’t have a serial killer caravaner background so I don’t want to go down that chemical toilet route. Ewwww. something low maintenance, like a composter, potentially could do a small soak away for liquid waste but conscious of having a stream really close by. Shed project is a long term thing and as the children get older will probably see a lot more use in the long term. So looking for a long term, low use solution .
