    That is clearly not my suggestion and you know it.
  2. GarethM
    Actually yes.

    Plus depending on the home owners insurance, it might be worth them claiming weather damage being under the tree and getting it removed and replaced. If they're planning to sell anytime soon with asbestos causes difficulties and devalues the property.

    Plus that looks like 3" asbestos cement, circa 1970s. It'll probably all be very brittle as soon as you touch it it'll crack elsewhere. Might be worth trying contact adhesive with a small patch after a bit of jet washing to remove the moss.

    I'd love to say something like a wise old oak tree watching the world pass me by like the robin hood tree. But, it's probably more likely to be an Ash tree with a touch of die back ?.

    Some weird high end sex chair ?, Call it a chaise dong?

    So you want to pump hot air around the house using a glorified aquarium air pump at "60lpm".
  8. GarethM
    Modified how tho, surely that's the same with most insurance companies?.

    Not at all, it's not a special club with a weird handshake.

    Obviously speak to a local stove/heating engineer, but 5kw gives you a starting point. It's all about keeping the heat in the stove tho, best looking at something like a laddomat or similar. Let's the radiators sip the heat and maintains boiler efficiency
  11. GarethM
    I'll put this politely, that's far too large without a huge 1500 litre buffer tank and expansion tank. It's not like a gas boiler system that can cycle on and off. Whilst that might be 30kw, a stove needs to be able to run without overheating or exploding as it needs to dissipate heat somewhere. If you also read the listing, it doesn't meet current regulations. Anything that large is going to eat wood like it's going out of fashion, I run a 25kw Angus and it'll eat a wheelie bin a day. Best say 10kw max and just supplement the existing system.
  12. GarethM
    Before we all go down rabbit hole and warrens of discussions, maybe find a model of fireplace with a backboiler. From what I remember they are a bit few and far between especially if they meet the current smoke regulations and modern eco design requirements.

    Why am I imagining the fight club recall scene.
  14. GarethM
    Same with Sky, AA and a lot of these companies. Surely someone better paid than I can also realise if they didn't take liberties and just added a couple of percent, all these comparisons site would go out of business and we wouldn't need to ring every year to moan about the price. Which always mysteriously shrinks, I know they are probably relying on those people who don't even balk at the auto renewal but that must be a small percentage?.

    Try LV for anything domestic, always been pretty reasonable including business use and every family member just incase for about £389 fully comp.

    Maybe create your own topic and lump all the pictures etc together ?.
  17. GarethM
    Ring NFU for anything commercial or agricultural. Lost nothing and they won't spam you will all these emails which always mysteriously start when you shop around on comparison sites.

    Certainly agree it's about right, assuming it's HT sheep netting with three HT lines of plain wire. Most fencing guys won't touch mild steel which is cheap for a reason but horrible, HT is shockingly expensive but lasts and can be tensioned. You're paying for speed at the end of the day, you can always go cheaper but they'll space the posts further and it'll look awful quicker.

    So you want Scotland to keep and use all the energy, whilst we below the border actually prop up your electric network ?. You need what's known as base load to actually use the "renewable", which if memory serves is mostly produced outside of Scotland.

    Don't mention the ferry, don't mention the ferry.
  21. GarethM
    That and the physical size of the actual conductor, which has to be larger than if in open air. Plus you cannot be self sufficient in wind energy, you need a grid to support it and prevent blackouts.
  22. GarethM
    What about some bright heat shrink on the handle ?. Won't go sticky like tape.

    Ripsaw???

    Whatever it is it'll be 20% as a general rule of thumb. Might even need to get yourself a EORI number due to the value, depending on the shipping company you'll probably also need to sign paperwork and pay them for the processing of paperwork.

    Ah, that's the big boy hatz at around 2.6 litres without the silent pack. I've the tiny single cylinder 667cc silent pack, is yours a fixed RPM as they seem to sell variable versions. Just thinking whatever you want to mate it too you'll need to know the max rpm so it doesn't grenade itself. Daft question, have they adjusted the valve clearances ?. As I assume it's just smoke from the diesel burning and not oil consumption.
  25. GarethM
    Hatz engines will always smoke on start up, they use a simple over fuel start system as they don't have an fuel injection system like a Perkins. It's one of the reasons a hatz goes full throttle on starting regardless of what the throttle settings is before settling down.
