Sincere condolences.

No explanation necessary, even loaded well within legal limits it's only sensible to be aware of what you're dealing with, gravity is a powerful beast. Don't respect it and it can punish severely, you're absolutely right to be leaving nothing to chance.

I've done a lot of towing over the years, both plant and agricultural up to 15-16t, using my own vehicles and other peoples. To be honest, I find no matter what you're in, from a Jeep up to 150 odd hp tractor, when towing big loads I find engine braking to be of almost negligible benefit compared to the trailers own brakes. I suspect you might not notice much difference.

Yep, I am that guy. Whereas you presumably are one of those people to whom I referred earlier. So tell me, how did you get it so wrong? Where's this safe, prosperous, pretty, agreeable world that we were going to have once that nasty man Trump was out of office? I see little chuffing sign of it.
-
Related to all of this, has anyone else noticed how the world seems to be increasingly going to sh1t since Trump left office. Weren't we told that him being president would be a nightmare? Seems the nightmare started once he was ousted.

Rots quickly in air, keeps pretty much indefinitely submerged in water. Most of Venice was original built on alder piles, many still in use.

Used to be used for clogs by all accounts, presumably because it dries ridiculously hard (and quickly) but light as well. They'll have had to be carved.

We had two to rear ourselves while working, and now there's the first grandweans on the go and everybody is working. So yes, the tumbler can be needed occasionally, but you can still minimise it's use to the degree that the expense of running it is inconsequential if you're prepared to make a bit of effort.
-
To be fair, it's not like you have to stand and watch the stuff dry, peg it out and away you go. Tumble dryers are pretty sore on the amps, surely if people are struggling to pay their bills, it wouldn't be that much bother to go to in order to save a few quid? Just sayin'.

I usually have trouble concentrating on what she's saying for some reason.

It's OK, that counts. 👍

An elderly relative went in to sheltered housing a few years ago and it had a drying room which was simply a smallish area, southerly facing, and the external wall built with narrow slots to allow airflow. No doubt designed on the basis that older people still like to hang out washing. You last sentence is bang on.
-
Those look the business. It also annoys me that no one else in the family has figured out how to use a clothes peg properly, so that when you put it back on the empty line, you put the line in the slot so that you can push them along in front of you as put the next clothes out. After nearly forty years of silence I broached the subject just before Christmas. I'm getting to quite like the dog house!
-
Why does nobody hang washing out to dry anymore?

Wasn't there a piece in a documentary, maybe the Michael Moore film?, about some sort of "save the planet" type concert taking place, powered by green energy. The film crew snuck around the back of the stage and found a diesel genset running full pelt!

That's worth repeating, whichever of the two you buy you will undoubtedly be happy with the job it does. I bought the 27 a long time ago, not even sure if the 25 was available, but with advancing years if the 27 broke I'd probably replace it with a 25. That having been said, there's no way I'd buy a 25 to have as well as the 27, as they are much too similar.

Give blood and they tell you. Or used to anyway.

Two-sided stove.

That's correct. The inlet's already been built in to the external wall and will be ducted across the floor. -

Thanks for that. Looks like a very viable option should they consider wood only, which is what I've been trying to persuade them to do anyway! -
It does indeed seem to be the only way which will allow society to continue*with the sort of lifestyle which it desires. * - long term that is, even shale gas would run out sometime.

I believe a bigger issue with tidal is that you have slack water on average four times per day. So while tides may be constant, it would take a series of them all along an area of coastline to provide anything approaching a practical supply.

We are surrounded by never ending supplies of energy, energy which will never fail for as long as the sun shines. Are we really collectively so gormless that instead of using it, in some form or another, that we have to wring every last finite resource out of the earth instead? A requirement for fracking suggests that the answer is yes.

Thanks for that. It's for a family member so I've just been relaying the info from here on to them. Finding a decent double-sided is turning out to be so difficult that they're even thinking of re-jigging the layout to allow them to fit a conventional stove. It's going in to a new build. -
I believe the importership has changed hands relatively recently. Maybe that's a factor, on top of Asian supply chain problems which are still ongoing.
