  1. surely that's like hating the word rascist?
  2. Thanks, it was my first time and apart from a little advice and an odd extra pair of hands i did it all myself The tiles been cut down to size as per instructions, to avoid the window hitting them, admittedly the window will never really be open that wide. Also the overlap over the flashing is quite substantial
  3. This job took longer than expected so I spent most of the day outside in the glorious (but a bit brutal) sun before: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b316/GreenBeast999/Projects/DSC02103_zpsb6caebd3.jpg after: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b316/GreenBeast999/Projects/IMG_20130714_161633_zps8d8aea6c.jpg
  4. indeed, i'm doing diy, in a unventilated loft. Although the main job in question is fitting roof windows, I better get cracking early tomorrow!
  5. Ha, this address is about 5 minutes from our school here.
  6. indeed and because it's quite fibrous i'd be inclined to use braces of timber on the internal corners, so you screw through mdf into timber on both faces
  7. how are you going to fix the panels together?
  8. yeah I make my own at home, had 7 kg of venison carcass off cuts last month so I've got a decent stock of venison mince in the freezer for burgers at the moment

  10. I think it's just units mixed up there, i.e. 54W over 1 hour is 54Wh, not other way around happy to be corrected
  11. ah I get you. yeah we get the free energy lot in all the time. Usually much fun is had stringing them along
  12. sorry I was just heading out to lunch. I'm a member of a renewable energy forum and we're always seeing people mucking their units up Too be fair, Watts don't scale up over time, i.e. it wouldn't generate more watts of power the longer it was left on, it would generate a fixed quantity of watts for a particular size of turbine (in identical conditions)
  13. there fixed that for you
  14. I was hoping to all that is holy that he wasn't intending to put the turbines actually on trains
  15. hmm I think the point of the post, was more that they had shielded optical cables (completely unnecessary)
  16. why? (message too short)
  17. why trains?
  18. hehehe brilliant it's the solar rays I tell you, THE SOLAR RAYS!!!!!
  19. had a little giggle at that
  20. yeah it's probably worth keeping the chicks just with mums till they get a bit bigger
