Post and beam

Years ago i read that the gradual clearing of the atmosphere of particulates due to industrial process's and agriculture might be as effective at increasing evaporation as any rise in temperature. I have no academic credentials but this was the first thing i found when i googled the effect.... In a surprising finding, light can make water evaporate without heat | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Then i would refer the honourable gentleman to the answer i gave some moments ago....

If its not a lot then why consider it? Agree, either make it worth while or tell them to do one. Once you sign up there is no going back if the noise is too much.

I believe there is a convention that access for services should be allowed to cross neighbours boundaries. For example, our semi has an old cable duct buried just under the rear across all the gardens in our close. This was installed when Redifusion supplied the TV service. It is only visible where it pops up into each house at the relevant point. Another example is when the SKY and other Sat TV companies ran Co-Ax cables along under the eves of rows of houses. Practically invisible of course. I would be mighty Pissed off if Openreach installed a box on my property. I would expect them to try to mitigate their intrusion which means if there was another option they should have chosen that method.

What are the details. Do you share a building/house/flat?

I just googled it. So it works in unison with a smartphone as the display. Cool. If its given you a year of good service i'd say Bargain. Thank you

Pictures, lots of them

I would still like to know what make & model the camera was.

This option.

Why would anyone want to soak in a bath for longer than the usual cooldown time of a standard bath. I did recently see a range of baths made of a heat retaining acrylic that offered some kind of solution to this perceived problem. Very expensive though.

Are these 2 points electrically the same point. Do you have a multimeter? If so, is there continuity between the two. And if that is true then it almost certainly doesn't matter.

If you want any kind of accuracy then a straight edge is essential. A phone is too small, regardless of the quality of the app.

Also been there done that. And the 2 small old barns currently on the plot also have tin roofs so we got the same response as above, Luckily. But i still have to install a couple of Bat box's and a couple of bird box's. I dont have an issue with these just the fee's for the survey.

Then the entire loop has to be replaced, no brainer. You will never stop worrying about this if its not. Have you got their admission in writing? If so insist that you cannot have a joint in a UFH pipe.

No, it is any request for hot water. Its just that a cold shower is not fun so thats the most annoying. Water pressure is very good. Even if the cross leak thing were true it would not explain the fact that when i need to stand in front of the boiler and press all the buttons i can see a HW temp of 12 degrees C and the boiler light not lit. This is with the shower tap on full by the way. To my mind its a faulty boiler and unless someone from Worcester can come up with some evidence to the contrary i will continue to press them for a replacement.

I think i want these in the new build, but the thomas crapper things are V V V expensive

Now he tells us. But i agree

I have exactly the same issue but i think its the pan thats the issue. We have the same cistern in both the bathroom and downstairs WC. (By the way didn't we have the same thread a couple of weeks ago) Our old cheap B&Q pan is fine. The newer, bought online sight unseen vanity set, uses a pan with a shelf. Complete rubbish. As it happens deciding how to deal with a malfunctioning concelaed cistern is causing me headaches at the mo'. How much do you dismantle ?

I had a boiler engineer come to look at our new combi( hate it) Becuase sometimes it does not fire up and provide hot water for washing. Radiators are fine as far as i can tell. The only way i have found to get around it when i am standing in front of the boiler cursing it for freezing my bits in the shower, is to keep pressing buttons through the display until it notices it needs to heat from 12 degrees C to 55. Never see an error code and last year they replaced the flow switch, no improvement. Engineer has blamed the mixer taps for 'cross leakage' creating a cooler than optimal water supply to my delicate bod' WTF! Also thinks that me pressing every button i can see is evidence of the boiler behaving as it should, because.' you press for heat and it starts the burner'. This ignores the fact that standing in the shower and turning on the tap should elicit some hot water. Can anyone shed light on what appears to be nonsense from this representative of Worcester Bosch please? Thanks in advance keith

When you take into account that increased insulation thickness is a 'diminishing returns' thing. And that airtightness becomes more relevant as the level of insulation increases i think it will be money well spent.

First off i have to say i totally accept that this is true, i just cannot picture it. A membrane can be impervious to the passage of air but allow the passage of water vapour. The size of the molecules is where i cannot see this but hey ho !

I very recently had a price of £2200 for my Potton 200 sq metre project in North Herts. They did say that they would stay and keep spraying until we got the airtight figure we needed/wanted. I think i will be taking them up on this offer.

Agree with the above. double the price for example is no use whatsoever

I had 16 conditions to be discharged. I was a little daunted by this but when i spoke to planning recently they explained that only the ones that contain the line ' written permission from planning' needed to be satisfied before works could start. I too have some that relate to planting, Bats, Newts, Unicorns but none of these stop me from starting work. They just have to be done before anyone moves in. Hope this helps.

£95 to the county council to register the address and they handled the cascading of the relevant info to who ever it needed to be cascaded to. That was last autumn in Hertfordshire if that helps.
