  1. Try reading the actual regs, no reply within 28 days = you can go ahead.
  2. Get a planning specialist. Might be costly but cheaper than a new building.
  3. PD rights / prior notification say that after 28 days of you telling them if they have not said no then you can do it. It will all come down to the wording on the first letter they sent you.
  4. Fit fork tine extensions to the existing tines. simple cheap & quick to put on / take off. Also wont need anyone to unhook them when unloading.
  5. Does anyone else apart from Bag supplies do the green vented bags?
  6. Down the pan?
  7. Do yourself a favour & get it galved instead of painting it.
  8. What about a Boa?
  9. No misfire but it was number 2 & it was leaking into the cylinder as well as very slightly to the outside.
  10. Mine used to do this. It was the gasket on the inlet manifold that was at fault. About £3 from eBay. For now just keep topping it up. Start doing it daily till you get a feel for how quick its losing it. You then have time to find the leak. The main reason for the head gasket failures is lack of under bonnet checking of coolant levels. 25's are just so reliable that most owners never go under the bonnet. The low level allows it to over heat & then the head gasket goes.
  11. Thats the whole point of the product this thread is about. It ensure that every unit is used onsite every day. I think the average figure for export was running at less than 70%. Now with the plethora of these products I am expecting it to plummet drastically. People that know they will be large exporters tend to have an export meter fitted to make up for that fact. When the ratio between total generated & exported FIT rates was much higher (43p & 3p) the export portion was not significant. Now that its more like 15p & 4p getting paid accurately for your export is more important. That or ensuring you use more of it onsite. Using it for jobs that can only be done my electricity is fine. However using it to displace other fuels for a heating function (space or water) is madness.
  12. Sadly not. Most installs get paid for 50% of the total production as having been exported. So they can use it all & get:- 100% X FIT production rate 50% X FIT export rate Dont import 100% of the power they made so save on the elec bill Its called having your cake & eating it.
  13. Yes they work. No you dont import the missing 2.5kw. Should you use one? In my opinion no. The FIT was designed to encourage export. The only reason devices like that exists is due to the deemed 50% export payment. You can use 100% of the power & still get paid for 50% exported. If your meter goes backwards then you are: a, using an illegal installation & your installer & you should have reported that fact to the DNO / billing company b, much better off not using the SolarImmersion.
  14. Poisoned by the neighbour?
  15. Just had a price reduction letter from Calor. Its now £52 plus vat (at 5%) & a small del charge.
  16. You do know that payback is a bitch?
  17. That would be a column.
  18. I bet the hats have a shelf life & an out of the box life. Say 8 to 10 years from date of manufacture or 3 to 5 years from first usage which ever date comes first. Re the main issue. I would say that PPE should be changed when the wearer is not happy with it even if that is well before its end of expected life time. However the same attitude with other consumer goods is a big problem for the world.
  19. Yet you happily use all your existing used kit They are not seconds in the traditional sense of the word. Most people would be hard pushed to see why they are in the cosmetic blemish box. I bet that most new firsts on the shelf in most stores will have more marks on them then DMM seconds just from handling. DMM have very high standards. Also most of the staff & Directors are very keen climbers so fully understand the head game that climbers go through re the kit.
  20. Check THIS out
  21. Slightly on the low side (£22 ish per cu ft) but then thick boards needed much less work to cut. I think for small amounts £30-35 per cu ft is more realistic for green oak. Might get more for well seasoned stuff.
  22. I use a high dump version at one of the jobs I do. I think thats got about 4000 hours on it. Gets a full service every year. Starts on the button, cuts well just dont let the grass get to long or it wont pick it up well. Same with wet grass ok if its short but not if its long. If the grass is long or wet I cut it & collect as much as it can. The rest gets left in rows that I will then go over again the next day & it hoovers it all up. One of my jobs this week is to repair the deck as it has rotted through in a few places. Mainly due to the owner putting it away covered in wet grass for the past few years. Clean it down after each use.
  23. No its a whale blubber cutter.....
  24. There is for the customer. Just like there is for most consumer goods & services. Why would they be happy paying for your lifestyle choices?
  25. Same reason as why everyone wants kiln dried hard wood. The wood stove / pizza oven supplier said to only use that for fuel.
