    Any Sparks about? Ohms law

    The question at the end is a yes/no :D We've had a large gas fired heater fitted at work. Four large air inlets (one each side), with one large heat outlet - with heat being pumped out by a large fan. It's a big heater. This started blowing a 10 amp fuse inside the heater. On the 2nd visit...

    You are about 15 years behind on this. Better ways to spend time.

    I'll just post one link Jacob - which might give you an idea what you will be up against: https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change Bye for now.

    web hosting

    If you go ahead with this, you are about to embark on a journey of many, many hours, (possibly hundreds/thousands), which IMHO, you will ultimately regret spending the time on. Sorry not to have better news, but experience and all that. Merry Christmas to all on this board :D :ho2

    Moss killer for (felt) flat roofs

    Has anyone got any recs for a mosskiller on a felted roof above a garage and extension? All the research I've done indicates that Jeyes Fluid (used to be good) but isn't anymore. Some say leave it, some say BATICLEAN CR, some say washing powder etc etc. The moss is pretty thick and it never...

    Why can't I paint ceilings!

    Try this new paint, it's bit more expensive than standard stuff but I met a decorator last week who said it was like emulsions used to be 15 years ago. https://www.johnstonestrade.com/perfect

    Going rate for floor tiling..?

    Around £35/sq m to include adhesive and grout, BUT, coming across bitumen underneath the existing floor or floor leveling will cost extra. I sorted some old (sticky) bitumen by mixing SBR with Portland cement to create a slurry and applying a 1 - 2mm thick coat by brush...

    Working hours experiment

    Keep going on that :) The employment market is in such a state that many full time employees are keen to just keep their job. And if that means making small changes to their behavior at work to improve things/productivity for their employer; they will. Just last week, I was talking to a 60...

    Working hours experiment

    Sorted! Done! Yes. :D The last thing you want is high staff turnover / poor productivity / low moral. One company I was a manager for had a "staff stability index". This meant that 80% of staff employed had over 2 years service. (That was pre - 2009 recession though, so that measurement...

    Security camera(s) under £300

    Can anyone recommend a security camera or system for under £300? Preferably wifi. I have had a camera installed for a while now, but the software (APP) is rubbish and the camera depends on a connection to an external webserver (presumably in China) for connection to a smart phone. There was a...

    For a Mac-ophile, are there any real advantages of an iPhone

    I resisted smart phones for a long while; eventually got an Android one in 2014 for work reasons. Around Jan 2018 I got an iphone SE and still have it. I wouldn't go back to Android unless there was a seriously compelling reason. Everything (for me) is just so much simpler on a iphone.

    Plastic Injection Moulding (?)

    I am still struggling to understand the art of plastic injection moulding and costs (I'm still working full-time). I wish I could get a job for a month to get "inside" the industry to "get it!" Any more help/advice would be most welcome.

    Thanks so much shed9! - are grants available for the private sector end user only, which this would be for?

    Plastic Injection Moulding (?)

    Thanks for all the replies. 3D printing is not an option due to durability. I have been in contact with a Plastic Injection Moulding manufacturer that told me their minimum quantity would be 250 due to the setting up cost of the mould. That's fair enough, and their price to me would reflect...

    Plastic Injection Moulding (?)

    Does anyone have any experience with Plastic Injection Moulding and/or machinery? I'm interested in tooling costs and potential pitfalls? Outsource projects or buy machinery? (depends on volume of course.) Any info would be appreciated. :)

    Oil based paint / water based paint....

    There are only three variables: Preparation, application, or the paint. If the water based previous coating is flaking/peeling then that is down to poor prep. Oil based (white) will turn slightly yellow where there is no (UV) sunlight within a few months because of VOC regs imposed on the paint...

    Livid with Yodel driver

    Some of these delivery guys are put under a lot pressure especially after a Bank Holiday. The one I met today (at work) wanted to rant about it for as long as I wanted to listen. He says it happens every time after a BH. It was a two minute convo but could easily have been ten if I questioned...
