Re: Small things matter
Just compromise and get professional carpet cleaners in.

What are these "1mm insulation strips?"Joeboy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:58 am A pleasant morning at daughterlys yesterday. Added 1mm insulation strips to all window edges. Immediate cessation of external sound. Should be better heat traps now. Also did the front door to communal indoor area.
This place was built well, getting away with just the bathroom towel rail to heat the whole place. Dehumidifier on timed plug to run 09.00 to 17.00 hrs now too. 150W unit set to kick in and out rather than continuous running. It also helps that it is surrounded on 3 sides by other apartments.
Hoping she can get into that but fear there may be backsliding to windows open Arctic blast mode!.
One more 6W ES bulb into a standing lamp and that's the whole place lighted for pennies.
Got a slight water leak in ceiling space from ensuite to main bathroom plumbing. Phoned insurance and its £750 excess so I'll get into that job once back from Turkey.
First shall be holesaw and endoscopic camera.
Storm hasn't arrived yet although wind is picking up a little. A nice morning for the walk to tram.
SWMBO is talking about recarpeting the place as a Christmas present.
I give in.

They take up the gap in older worn rubber seals. Amazon I think. The difference is very apparent. When I come down next time for ceiling repair I'll bring the thermal imaging camera. No point knowing all this stuff and not benefiting those around me.Stinsy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 10:30 amWhat are these "1mm insulation strips?"Joeboy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:58 am A pleasant morning at daughterlys yesterday.

Also taking advantage of carpets up to ensure a high quality underlay goes down. Weather forecast is a tad mental back home.

Re: Small things matter
Cheers! 12.15v is my last memory. NOT the value of torn off and embedded in the enphase system. Jings, wish I hadn't thought of that...
