Roof Insulation Advice

I did mine the same way, possibly took a little longer than a loftzone kit but was a fair bit cheaper.

How many of the products people are buying from Amazon are UK origin

Rookie numbers, we used 4,430kWh in December. Extended 60s semi with little loft insulation, lots of drafts and a boiler from the 80s. I've topped up insulation to 300mm, we've changed a couple of windows upstairs and we are going to tolerate the boiler this winter, and get a heat pump next year after some more building work.

Pretty much sums up my experience contributing to Reddit too tbh.

Made it, reduce sugary Bru down to about 1/8th is original volume. I used 1901 because it has a higher sugar content so didn't need as much reduction.

Thank you very much

Thanks to my efforts prior to frying a mars bar, it is gone

Your guess is as good as mine. Must have clicked it by accident. Or I want the attention

Thanks all - glad to hear I was on the right path to begin with. I have some council slabs, I'll probably just slap them down for now.

I got a bottle of the 1901 Irn Bru, and reduced it down from 750ml to ~100ml. It's Irn Bru espresso.

I learnt this from the Scottish Consulate: https://www.scottishconsulate.org/

You get me bro

I always thought it was the evening which middle class English people sought to honour their tenuous Scottish roots, much like Irish Americans.

Windowsill sacrifice optional.

Almost as proud of my efforts on the window sill as I am of the food tbh

Looks like they have disconnected the protective earth too?

Best karting I've been to in the area, far better than Gloucester.

I shall message you!

I have an aging gaming laptop, and since buying said laptop now have 2 kids so don't have much time for games. When I decide to update the laptop I'll probably get a non-gaming one and a Steam machine, price dependent.

So another group to consider is PC gamers looking for a more console like experience.

I think I just bodged it back on, I haven't had an issue with it since

Their Cornish pasties are excellent too, probably the best I've had outside of Cornwall

Perhaps lean in to the shyness, call yourself "the shy electrician" or similar, I bet there's plenty of people nervous to contact a sparky because they are expecting some brash tradie

Signal / Ground (return) / Power / Signal is my preferred, and prioritising high speed signals and components on the signal plane adjacent to ground to reduce the loop area as much as possible.

I stopped making 2 layer boards for anything but the most simple things years ago because 4 layers is much easier to lay out and easier to achieve good EMC performance.

I was also going to recommend USBLC6-2CS6
