I'm not a plumber but have had plenty of backboilers and gravity systems over the years. I would think the fact the pipework is going upstairs from a downstairs fire means you have a rise and horizontal pipework under the floorboards wouldn't matter. Had plenty of systems that worked off gravity over large areas and no way did the fitters laser level that pipework to get a constant rise. The nature of the gravity system will drive the flow. Having said that, I would still fit a pump, if you don't the first rad will get hot, second not so much and last one is a waste of time. Personally I would design it with two circuits, one for hot water and one for heating. Simple thermostat on the pipework that turns the pump on when it gets to a set temp and goes off when it cools down. Lashings of hot water whenever needed. Not sure how/why you don't use hot water but it isn't a waste to have it, it only heats and stays there it doesn't escape, especially useful in an airing cupboard. I asked my plumber to fit a system that works exactly this way and he goes and fits Hive controllers, motorised valves and allsorts. God knows why as it over complicates it and at the mo if only the oil is on I can't even fill a sink with hot water! (fire part works fine)

I just got the white flex rods and two brushes as I have a 5" flue and a 6" flue. Didn't see the need for locking ones as long as you keep twisting them they can't come undone. Done enough work on land drains over the years and never lost any. (clockwise not anticlockwise @spudulike No idea why they make them in white of all colours.Had them a while now but not actually got round to using them but they look the part alright. Drain rods are too stiff for flexible flues imo, ok for brick chimneys though. Until I got this set I have been using a set of those really thin, like 3-4mm, rods they use for poking electric cables through joists etc with a brush fastened on the end. Worked for me for probably about 10 years before they got tired.

No it is real time. Each time they launch a fresh batch that is what you see until they spread themselves out, I have seen it myself more than once. There are 5000 up there now of a plan of possibly 40,000.

What Gareth said. Very much against them personally as it all seems a bit chucking junk up there now we have messed everything up down here. Also not a big fan of Musk. Do have Starlink though which is a massive hypocrisy but the only internet that actually works here.

May be so but I certainly don't like trying to burn logs that are over 20%. It is very noticeable that they don't give anything like as much heat never mind the crap in the chimney/flue. My logs are usually 17% ish but it is inevitable they creep up to 20% in the wettest times of winter as they take on atmospheric moisture.

If you are actually grafting with it the Felco Victorinox general grafting knife is a fair bit better than an Opinel. If you are serious a Tina is about the best you can get. I have both and yest the Felco is better than Opinel and the Tina better still and you can tell. Hurts much less when you slice your thumb with the Tina but goes deeper. Heals quicker though.

Polished walnut handle perfectly shaped to fit the hand.

I think you are going to be in for a shock at just how dangerous it is to be lifting heavy loads at height with a loader. I will be honest and say it terrifies me and my tractor is a fair bit bigger than that. Rear mounted forks or even a rear mounted fork lift are very much safer. Other than that. go on eBay and find the cheapest 3 point linkage forks and get someone to weld a euro 8 bracket on. The brackets cost about £60 already welded onto a "H" plate.

Homegrown toms, onion, garlic, sweetcorn, basil cooked on homegrown firewood.

Have had most vans over the years and the Movano was the best by a very long way. Don't know if that translates to tippers though.

It would last a lot longer than the chain and bar though, especially in winter.

They have evolved to survive fire, maybe the same mechanism allows them to survive frost too.

Not here it isn't and for a first in my life I stocked up before the current price rises kicked in. Would be more than £300 dearer today for me. re your jerry can. I have the old style with a vented clip on spout. No glugging and empties within 2 minutes easy. Only downside is if you fill the jerry can full right up you might get a splash from the spout first off.

The only traffic noise I have is I can sometimes hear a train in the distance if the conditions make sound travel a bit more. Other than that any vehicle I hear or see I usually know the driver, isn't that extraordinary in this modern world of ours. I am indeed very lucky, very aware of it and fully appreciative of it. 👍

I just step out of my door and I am there. Orchards are through the gate the other side of the lane from my house. Occasionally I have to venture further and have usually started swearing at people within the first 3 miles and usually because of a cyclist or 12.

Nor can I but they are what causes that on cherry.

Only ever seen one mink and in similar circumstances to the above. The one in my stream was far less timid though, it struck me to have no fear whatsoever and if it had decided to walk up to me and try to eat me I think it would have given it a go. Not quite true or at least not worded correctly. It is the General license and rabbits are not game, hares, grouse, ptarmigan, grouse and pheasants etc are game.

Not very up on my plums tbh. It does look very much like silverleaf on those leaves. There seems to be an extra amount of plum moth about this year. Those plums look like they have been damaged by moth/maggot and allowed entry to rot. Wouldn't like to give a full answer without having your plums in my hand tbh.

Befriend a Romanian ang get them to show you how to make pálinka. I did it years ago and it is surprisingly easy, I stopped before I drank myself to death.

We had a field with loads of pignuts in it, too many of them aren't good for you. As a side note, they were in an old water meadow that was fairly remote, wouldn't have been ploughed by tractor before but had been drained with horseshoe drains. We ploughed it and grew strawberries and cabbage in it before reverting it back to grass. I found a load of worked flints in a small area, seemed pretty obvious that someone had once sat down and knapped a flint there. Maybe they were keen on pignuts and why they were in that area. It is back to being remote and undisturbed again, I doubt half a dozen folk go in that field a year.

I should think the price fell off a cliff on Thursday as I sent some in on Friday.

Well if you start off with a 5t carbon cost and then by using a carbon neutral fuel you keep adding or subtracting lots of nothings into the equation it still make it a 5t cost. Have to admit your reckoning is pretty much how these people think though, plant a couple of saplings that will be dead within 6 months and it makes flying around the world OK again. I am sticking with my complete and utter bull point of view with an added dash of absolute bollox on top.

In my experience you won't need to do anything. Have had several trees hit over the years, some had a strip of bark peeled off and are still standing decades later with no obvious ill effects. Others were blown to complete smithereens! Would have loved to have seen it happen but would probably have pooed my pants too. Fully mature specimen parkland oak with about 15' of trunk left standing and the rest spread over a 200yard diameter area and reduced to splinters. Absolutely mind blowing.
