No and thats the problem sadly with the old type consetvatorys they are designed as sun rooms and to grow plants but we all use them for everyday use. Hence why most are exempt from the building regulations because they don't comply typically to the minimum standards of building regulations...

Exactly. I have a lot of respect for most builders, prepared to put in physical graft day in, day out and to do a good job requires a lot of skill. But there is the science of construction and that typically requires academic study and often the problem is the two worlds don't meet often...

Exactly if Greta had her way it would probably have a lot less and better performing glass and the remainder would be better insulated.

Yes probably is. Problem we find often is the workmanship. Not very effective if the boards are not fitted tightly together as you are then relying on the tape and, if there is a gap between the boards, to exacerbate the issue there is a thermal bridging issue directly behind the tape which is...

Most building inspectors come from a trade background that I know but yes to understand a building you need to understand building pathology, the building regulations and how buildings have evolved over time and that requires study. Being a bricklayer for example is not going to help you agree...

Just to explain a bit here Barcon. Often a VCl (Vapour control layer) is adopted over here on timber frame buildings. However on roofs which are tiled, breather membrane below its widely been accepted that the PIR board (Kingspan/Celotex) when the boards are tightly abutted and taped, is...

Actually if Greta got her way buildings would be better insulated and this would help mitigate a lot of the issues of condensation.

Most building inspectors are degree educated, complete CPD to maintain there professional membership and have recently undergone a 9 months course and/or sat a validation exam to become a licensed contractor. Some builders are absolutely great and very knowledgeable but I could call myself a...

Best laid plans and all that. Had a 10 mile and half marathon lined up the last two weekends in preparation for giving the Wimborne 10 a really good go next week as its a local event and a lot of people I know will be running. Sadly due to a chest infection I slowed down the training for the...

Fantastic effort that pal. Shows what perseverence can do, if you keep at something. With regards a programme. I am probably not best placed, but If it was me I would just keep increasing my distance slowly. Rule of thumb is 10 percent each week, but worth dropping back a bit every 3 weeks...

James, sit down. Always remember being on the Kippax May 1991 when we beat Sunderland 3-2 to relegate them. Pretty sure we just equalised before half time, crowd was pretty euphoric and sit down came on over the tannoy. Loads sat down on the terrace, Sang the lyrics etc. Great moment.

Just booked 4 days in Prague and restaurant recommendations, ideally for veggies or interesting places/areas to visit outside the main attractions.@KnaresboroughBlue

That is a proper strange way to look at things. Your comments also indicate you are creating scenarios to actually not care about players who leave. Without the work and toil of the likes of Gundogan Manchester City Football club would be a pale reflection of the club it is today.

Mental strength of the lad is incredible. Like Aguero if he misses a chance he will play exactly the same way, same runs, create the same space. Its his major strength as a player. So many other strikers have great runs, including the likes of Son, Watkins etc but when they lose confidence the...
