It has been done, whilst not the same as today's standards, you can't just keep adding more and more. A better joined up solution needs to be found especially for the majority of housing which is terraced, sticking combustible foam on the outside is not a solution. Maybe a scheme allowing the rear to be extended in bulk with internal insulation along with the roof, maybe a pay now or we increase your council tax band for 10 years?.
-
Because that's all been done during the great 90-2010 home insulation scams that bled subsides dry. Next you'll be saying standby wastes billions, TVs of the last 10-15 years use around or less than 1w which is nothing around £3. Try motorway lights, streetlights, empty offices all after midnight and that's before you get to TV and radio transmitters at 250kw+ Vs 10kw digital. Personally start rebuilding magnox, make the core larger and sacrifice higher temperatures as we aren't making plutonium on purpose. Calderhall cost 35m in 1956, even if you said 1bn now. That's still cheap compared to Hinkley at 25bn.

Those neat french trees would predate the village, part of Napoleon and having shade for the troops along roads. Whilst maybe somewhat over romanticised especially in certain parts of france, Napoleon wanted his marching troops under the shade of trees.

Is this the wettest (firewood selling )autumn you have known !
GarethM replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Does the cell structure actually freeze in living trees, as I would assume the tree could reduce the water content and change the freezing point ?. Maybe the freezing pops the cells on felled trees and helps to dry it quicker. -
8kw is only 35A on an average 100A supply, I'd personally be asking for a three phase supply, not a larger supply. Plus not touching batteries with a barge pole, maybe some old lead acid but not any of the new ones. If they won't do 3 phase I'd say hot tub for summer time relaxing 🙂. But obviously fit as large a hot water tank as possible but that's not going to eat much of the unused power.

Whilst this isn't the best for calibration, I regularly stick the moisture meter into the underside of the wooden chair in the house. Anything other than below 19% and the meter is fit for the bin. -
8-10kw even on 3 phase ?.
-
Even I have a 60x45 shed that could have I think something like 25kw. If these companies approached people like myself, there would be 150kw in just 1/4 mile. Offer them a reasonable return with maybe a alternative option of say 10 year you own it we'd all say yes please.

So we demolished Wylfa which had a capacity of just under 1000 MW 24/7 on a tiny site and they want to keep littering the countryside with these solar panels. I've flown into Manchester, before they even think of doing such things every warehouse and supermarket should be covered 1st!

France is like 75% nuclear, they're not fussed about renewables as they'll just export more of the electricity they produce to Germany.
-
Or atleast use the rail network to move woodchip instead of wood pellets from the USA & Canada.

What's a rough good price ?.

Thought they made reed bed filtration illegal after the big freeze a few years back.
-
Woodsure don't fine, it's the local council, technically I think it's trading standards. But nobody has as far as I'm aware, similar numbers to dog fouling and smoke control.

Well if you're buying a splitter on Friday you kinda are jumping into it, especially without a yard etc. If you had the space FOC you can make it work, you'll also need a means of delivery and a long list of other things including insurance.

New to purchasing a woodland
GarethM replied to milkshakespoon's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I don't live in the city, hence the little use of the other local ones being very underused, maybe 2-3 a day on average. -
https://www.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/MSDS/MotoMixMSDS.pdf https://powerequipmentcentre.com/msds/MSDS STIHL MotoMix English 1L and 4L.pdf The USA one says a company, as does the Canadian one, the UK version just says Stihl. I would assume it's made on the same continent as where it's sold for transport reasons.

Wasn't that Volvo fitted with a Duncan Cab, I'm sure I have recollections they made cabs for Ford, Leyland etc and sold it to Volvo as well.

You need full planning permission, along with parking area etc. All for an amazing £8-10 an hour on a 10k investment, there are about half a dozen within a 15 minute drive. -
You don't need to buy a domain name, unless you're running a company for example. I've never had any problems with hotmail from the NHS and I've had mine since the 2000s.
-
I think 1st call would be logging into the old Hotmail account you've used as a backup, they've probably sent a email verification thing.

Smoke in the room, Stovax County 5 Wide

Just pay a chimney sweep, no certificate = no insurance if you've a chimney fire or something similar happens. -
Right, back to the original problem. 1. You're Hotmail isn't downloading in thunderbird?. 2. Is thunderbird updated, check it's version 115.6.0 3. Can you log into hotmail via outlook.com ?

125mb is faster than my super fast fibre, that's around 70mb. Don't be fooled by all this extra speed BS, unless you're 24/7 online gaming and posting cringe to tick tock the basic is fine. They're just upselling you something you don't need at £70
-
There website said M125 Fibre Broadband is £26.50, that's no TV just broadband.
