I still can't understand why they haven't tried the solar from space idea from the 30s. They built those solar thermal things in Spain, simple mirror in space for ultra high powered sunlight and it would provide huge amounts of focused sunlight. Ok it's a bit die another day but worth a low cost gamble. Hell, they can fire a laser at the moon and hit a glass reflector from the 1960s.

Still needs to be ballasted to stay upright, probably to an even greater extent as they're twice the height and I don't think you can use water either due to corrosion. Then the miles of cables etc etc, the more you research and read the more attractive sitting in a corner rocking gently sounds.

I'd hate to even guesstimate the number of insulation sheets you'll need for the roofing!. Saw a great video the other week for how he fitted them practically air tight using a cutting jig etc. https://youtu.be/jaTWMUuTWnI

30k in central London probably equates to around 10k for us mortals. Maybe it all those spilled takeaway and claret stains on the carpet ?.

Washing machine wise, I always pay extra for 1600rpm spin as a 1200 is barely even worth having when the clothes come out wetter than a fish.

They get an allowance per year as it's a state apartment or however you describe it, can't have Mrs Merkel or Macron dossing it in a student style flat could we 🙂. I bet Ted heath, Thatcher, Gordon & major spent around fifty quid between them on paint in the whole time they were there.

Mitchell or McCavity ?

Yeah, but most heating adverts are condescending 🙂. They seem to say buy this boiler and you'll have this perfect home/wife and kids, whilst the reality is you'll be sat in the dark wondering how to pay off the new boiler and afford your next own brand pot noodle!.

Maybe change the law, so that MPs get to choose a supplier, shame we've not got MFI or that really awful stuff Argos/Index sold back in the 80/90s. Might make them a little more grateful.

I've not watched the link but this came to mind.

Or as a stop gap until it warms up buy a dehumidifier, sticking plaster solution but removes moisture and adds a small amount of heat. A hygrometer on the wall also helps, cooking and showers do add a good 20% to a house. Maybe get a cheap thermal plugin for your phone to see cold bridging.

If you're selling woodchip you may fall into the planning permission will be required category especially with an increase in traffic. You will need a telehandler, possible with a tractor loader but lifting height and bucket size make for very slow loading. Plus chip has to be clean, preferably screened. From what I've read you're problem is green waste, maybe buy a zago ecogreen and make a deal with the farmer. (Plenty of Farmer P videos). I looked into a lot of this myself, whilst I am a do everything by the book or I'll get dobbed in mentality. Ended up processing logs, using the chip for field restoration & saving for a zago as it's considered compost once churned up.

Bluebells are the plant equivalent of cockroaches, might set them back a year or so but they'll be back sure enough.

PIV sounds like snake oil, turning a damp house into a colander and wasting money on heat. To prove you concept reverse the flow on a bathroom extractor fan.

Think you might need to post your current size and length of chain for any help 🙂.

Remind me again how much that wallpaper was per roll?, £840 a roll.

So what is the point of a smart meter if it isn't smart?. We both know it's all obfuscated bs, but atleast use what you got instead of letting a country sit in the actual dark.

Someone's garden with a stump grinder/forestry flail in the background?

One certainly has to wonder, you've got all these swimming pools threatening to close due to gas prices. Surely fit an electric heater and use everything for a derisory few pence a kw or export it to the continent. Same with schools and other places, use it all, surely with all the smart meters it's easy to do.

Plus you have to factor that against the legally binding Co2 reduction for Paris or keyoto, yes I know it's all smoke, mirrors and Bs of the highest order. But it's still a shocking amount of money.

Jebus, it sounds like we have a furry!.

Time to wheel out Shirley Manson to sing your answer, the world is not enough!.

Aren't they sheep that eat seaweed?.

Cmon I'd rather Boris had the cash than let loose with anything else Lord Bamford manufacturers!. Suppose a fast track would be ULEZ exempt tho, few steps up from a Boris bike.

Maybe he was a little early to do a Margret Thatcher style photo opportunity?. It's definitely a head scratcher with us sending tanks that don't use the same main gun ammunition as the Germans Leopard that Poland has plenty of.
