    For a change, good news, price of electric being reduced.

    The greens always forget the physics, and the costs involved!

    Until works out the cost of installing it, and works out the losses. Greenies don't understand either issue.

    Yes, and I seem to remember a sack of coal, was delivered as an CWT sack. I remember the coalman's lorry, they would have a stack of coal on the back, scales, and a pile of empty sacks. They would pull up, fill and weigh a sackful, then tip down the coal hole. Some would have the coal, ready...

    Milwaukee C12HZ-0 M12 Naked Compact Hackzall

    Wouldn't a hand held grinder, fitted with a thin cutting disk be better for that?

    Yes, but you are on a much earlier fix of 25%. The later fix is 32% of peak charge.

    Rain coming through bathroom ceiling

    I don't believe it should be like that, it's acting like a funnel, to wind blown rain.

    Rain coming through bathroom ceiling

    I would guess at that wide, gaping gap, showing in your first two photos.
