Warnings signs operate on vehicles travelling towards; Gatsos etc can operate towards but last I knew were only type approved for away. I expect the premise will be similar, that reflected electromagnetic waves will have a different frequency when returned than when emitted and this is used to...

Warm air can hold more moisture. It is not a given. Insulation doesn't cause warm air. Insulation doesn't cause condensation. Houses that have hobs are capable of boiling water. Hobs are a risk Houses that have taps might have more water sloshing around inside them. Taps are a risk How much...

There's always one

But you need to appreciate that all these things you're talking about are pipes with different diameters.. "At the washer" - I presume you mean that brass screw on top of the pressure pump? Small hole; it'll blast out of it Then you connect the pressure hose; large hole, it'll pour out of it...

Have you poked something like a needle through the very end of the lance nozzle to ensure it isn't blocked? It's amazing how one bit of sand can nerf a jet wash nozzle. If it does seem blocked (can you see daylight through the nozzle when removed from the handle?) poke it and back-wash it with...

You are indeed speeding up :)

Restricted air exchange in any environment leads to elevated relative humidity and surface condensation

Not necessarily Think you need to put some science behind it and measure with a thermometer, rather than back of handwaving. That draught you feel could just be a thermal cycle caused by some warm thing the other side of the room (a running tumble drier)

Floor boards are not renown for being airtight (it doesn't seem the type of house to have joint glued eggerdeck protect for example), so I'm not sure why you'd seal PIR boards to them. If you're going at it hard core you'd lift the floorboards, insulate between the joists, put a vapour barrier...

USA is much more foodie culture than we are; they even do Mexican Takeaways

I do hear this argument in relation to internal insulation but I've never felt compelled that anyone, visitor or resident would walk into a room and say "gosh, this room could do with being 2 inches longer, insulating it was a mistake" You can get away with insulating party walls less as the...

Use solvent weld then you can clear it with a pressurised flow I don't understand the question

32mm for a sink waste is fine. Overkill even when you consider it's fed by a couple of 15mm that don't run full bore

I wouldn't put the service void behind the insulation because then it has to come through it in multiple places and it's a right faff. Use battens on the warm side of the insulation, to hold the insulation against the wall, and that's where your service void is, totally on the warm side And I'd...
