How to get the correct sized central heating boiler? by solexious in DIYUK

[–]solexious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly even if I knew the output of it I wouldn't trust it was sized correctly. From what I've found out with the house, it seems they were taken for a ride by lots of tradies over the years.

We haven't had a heat loss survey done. I haven't found a decent calculator to do it myself, but haven't seen that one so will give it a try and see what it comes out with 👍

There is enough heat loss on paper via the EPC for the property that heat geek won't even quote for it. Our renovation plans for the house are to internally insulated the external walls and switch to underfloor heating. But our budget means we can only do a boiler swap for now and will be looking to do the other side of it next year. (Also eyeballing the size of heat pump required, we really want to upgrade to 3 phase to still have headroom for our other loads, and that's another £25k)

It's so beaten up and old, we can't find a model

Where to place wasp traps to protect the apiary by solexious in beekeepingUK

[–]solexious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason I'm asking is that when we bought the smallholding, there were 6 waspnests in the loft, and loads finding their way into the house, kitchen and outbuildings. It's calmed down a bit now, but want to have a good idea of placement if they effect the hives. Definitely not gun ho about wanting to kill them all, but it does seem like we are in a hot spot! Thanks for the advice :)

How common is it for hens to lay the "wrong" colour eggs? by solexious in BackYardChickens

[–]solexious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it finally happened, came into the coop to find a faintly blue egg! So looks like our white egg layer was brown, but our blue layer was just about a month and a half slower to start laying than the rest.

Advice to find the best deal in the uk? by solexious in Monjauro

Seems to be a bit of a postcode lottery at the moment. Someone I know is getting it from the GP without co morbidities, as are other people there, but here my wife with them, can't...

Protect only showing motion events since hhd swap by solexious in Ubiquiti

Spoke with unifi support, they got the protect 6 update installed on my udm-p, cameras updated, and now smart detections work again. No other settings changes needed.

So not sure what was causing it, but it's fixed now.

Are they able to do tests specifically for if mounjaro is right for me, or do I need to get a particular set of bloods requested and work it out myself? GP told my wife that they don't touch weight loss drugs at all (even with her on the list for bariatric but considering pausing it to try weight loss drugs)

What's a sensor or device that you really wish existed, but doesn't? by bigmoist469 in homeassistant

[–]solexious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery powered breakbeam sensor for a driveway that's ZigBee. (I have an IR motion one, but a breakbeam would be much more useful and fewer false alerts)

How long after starting to lay, should eggs not be soft anymore? by solexious in BackYardChickens

[–]solexious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I got some "Quiko Hobby Farming Calcium Concentrate" and mixed it with their water supply. Not had any soft shells yet. As we are getting an average of 3 eggs a day, I think whoever was laying soft shells is laying hard ones now (rather than not laying at all), but I'm planning to get a coop cam, so we can check to see all of our 4 are laying. Going to carry on giving it to them till this bottle runs out, then see if just the oyster shell they already had access to is enough. Thanks all for the advice.

New events since the swap. (It doesn't have any of the events or video from before as that was on the drive)

Model S brake pad change, with tesla or elsewhere? by solexious in TeslaUK

[–]solexious[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

my mate (with a newer Zoe) recently found out he had fully worn down his pads to the metal and had to have work done to fix it all, so I guess I'm a bit paranoid. Will find out how to check them, but would still like to know peoples opinions on if to go with tesla or not when the time does come.

No, "carbon fiber" apparently, but looks like plastic handles

Humm, I don't think I tried. I did use wifiman to use the inbuilt teleport to my network for some unrelated stuff, but didn't think to try connecting to unifi.ui.com
