You can't run through a campsite, you can only have ran through a campsite as it's past tents....

ah ok. My S plan system has a separate circulation pump that shuts off when the valve closes with no pump in the boiler. There is also a pressure bypass in the system incase there is a blockage or radiators are all turned off. looks like this Honeywell Home Straight Auto Bypass Valve 22mm -...

My understanding is that there needs to be a call to the boiler. CH will have thermostat(s) that call for heat, this will open the zone valve which will then trigger the boiler to run. Hot water will have a tank thermostat which again will normally open a zone valve and trigger the boiler. As...

Well I guess just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right (e.g. asbestos back in the day) but there are a huge number of oak chopping boards for sale if you do a search including well known companies like Lakeland Oak Chopping Board Robert Welch Oak Wood Chopping Board, 30cm Large...

Doesn't take much thought to realise it is a sliding scale. That is the worst case that does affect some children, a significant amount of children have a home life that is less than ideal and even the 'posh' types (your term) does not necessarily equal a good home life, they just have more...

none of the 3 grammar checkers I've just tried show an error in the way I wrote it. Pedantic - 'excessively concerned with minor details or rules; overscrupulous'... Really? NSPCC, for one, would disagree with you Alcohol, drugs and parenting Can't really tackle the problem of bad spelling...

I think we are probably pretty close in our thinking. I build websites for a living and webcode is generally unforgiving, if you miss a comma it will not work. When I write a forum post and miss a comma it is highly unlikely that the message will completely fail. On a different thought grammar...

not really intimate when they are smoking a joint walking their kid to school (some of the kids bags have to be left outside as they stink too much of weed), or seen selling drugs around town, or their pregnant GF turns up to school with a blackeye. Strangely enough I take an interest in my kids...

I can think of plenty of excuses for poor spelling and grammar. Some of the children in my child's class have parents who sell drugs and/or themselves, and have no interest in sitting down and teaching their children the finer points of the english language to their 5 year old. My child gets 15...

It's interesting to me that you pick something like guitar music as an example of a structured and rigid format. It really isn't. Most guitarists will change what they play in different settings and whenever there mood changes. Loads of videos on 'how to play X properly' and they will look...

assuming it is silicone sealant, i'd try and get a thin saw blade under it to cut the sealant.

I'd make a wheeled trolley. not a full thing but just some wheels that can take the weight in the centre while 2 people guide the granite. I searched 'wheel granite mover' on google images and saw loads of simple 2 wheel designs. Somethign like this Industrial Smooth Moving Q235 Steel Push...

Interesting example. A lot of famous guitarists will tell you that they play 'incorrectly' from the percieved correct method. This in part if what gives them their sound. Also at what point are you choosing to accept correct grammar, as language is constantly evolving. Should we have stopped at...

why not drywall it, plasterboard is a lot cheaper than ply/osb. It's also reflects light better even unpainted, or a coat of white paint will make it nice and bright.

could you make some from the mesh of a cooking sieve? They are pretty cheap to buy eg https://groceries.asda.com/product/baking-utensils/george-home-stainless-steel-sieve/1000005036524

I'm not using anything fancy just the cheap one from toolstation but it is B rated which is rated for 120m/s impacts, but even the more expensive ones seem to be B rated so I figure it should be ok. More expensive ones will most likely have perhaps a better optical rating or have a better shape...

Yes I generally do things myself. Last time I looked the cheapest 4kw PV system was about £3000. Solar thermal was about £1000. Just for the self install kits. I don't know the relative costs to get someone to install. I can't connect a PV system to the grid as I'm not qualified so I think...

My understanding is completely the opposite. Water solar heating is pretty cheap in comparison to PV for the actual kit, and will be cheaper to replace parts etc. Solar Water has a COP higher than 1, so you are getting more energy back into the system than you are using to run it. Normally by a...

I've done similar to what you are doing. I have a 250 (might be 280?)litre stainless tank. It is an unvented tank but I run it vented. I have a gas boiler feeding into it directly as well as 2 immersions although I only use the 1 which i swapped out for a 1kw as I regularly make more than 1kw...

There was a sad news story posted on here a few weeks back of a 30yr old who recently was hit and killed by a workpiece flying off his lathe. I hadn't fully realised that different safety glasses/shields offer different impact protection and shouldn't be used with some high speed tools. My full...
