    Air source Heat Pumps any good?

    Gas only does that when in condensing mode. Common fallacy. The marketing people push the '90 %' figure to sell product. When not in condensing mode they are only C 70% IIRC. My Ideal boiler tells me that it is in condensing mode for only 57% of it's burn time, though obviously this varies...

    Grass

    I would but I see the internet as Frank Zappa saw Hydrogen, so I try not to waste too much of my life on it.

    Grass

    So please explain master how do mountains turn into rocks. Though freeze thaw is merely one of the many causes. Back to the original point though moss retains moisture on roofs, preventing it from drying out. This allows for many more freeze thaw cycles and helping degrade the roof in my...

    Grass

    You should write a book on how the pyramids were built with your new found expertise, after all people have been perplexed about it for thousands of years. Though finding one site on the internet does not an expert make.. Wooden wedges soaked in water and expanding exerts a force of hydraulic...

    Does freeze thaw perhaps contribute to the decay of concrete and mortar, or maybe some might think that UV light is the cause. Pot holes in the roads are also caused by freeze thaw.

    Grass

    Higher altitude up mountains and clear night skies ? There appears to be a distinct lack of Geographical/Geological knowledge on here. Maybe science generally. Maybe best stick to woodworking. Though this is the internet so any old opinion is worthy of a mention - as fact.

    Show your evidence that the moss causes no harm. Thought not.

    Grass

    Moss holds onto water like a sponge, when water freezes it expands by 9% so any small imperfection in the roofing material will be exposed to this hydraulic action. this is how the Egyptians quarried rock for the pyramids. I have no affiliation to any moss removal company :)

    Grass

    Ferrous sulphate, dissolve in warm water add to backpack sprayer and all the moss will die. You then need to remove the dead moss by raking/scarifying. Though if you mix it too strong the grass will also die............ The iron (ferrous) also greens and hardens the grass. If the moss is...

    paraffin Heater

    None. The combustion is fan exhausted, along with the moisture produced. Only non exhausted heating produces moisture. Though on the down side much heat is also exhausted.

    paraffin Heater

    Though Chinese paperwork can sometimes be a little 'less than accurate'. My Chinese heater claims to be 8 Kw though at least 1Kw goes out of the exhaust. The fuel consumption claims to be 'x' though I have found it uses more, and other models claim a higher useage for the same output. At the...

    Buying cheap tools

    I just bought exactly the same tool. I saw there were 300 positive reviews on the Screwfix site so decided it would do for my 40 M of concrete. Many people buy this breaker, as you say just to break some fence post concrete, or similar because it is cheaper than hiring the tool, fetching and...
