Clean with clear vinegar only. Caustic cleaners ruin the surface and mechanism.

The parts are not going to be difficult/expensive issue. Accessing the tap and if necessary removing and refitting the bath is.

A VPN server (like Wireguard) is the safe way to access a NAS or IP cameras remotely.

Extending a network by wired is definitely the right way to do it.

Biggest challenge is around the horns of the frames and on walls that face south. I use an exterior filler mix and add UPA. Paint over with Santex and overcoat if I spot any cracks. This has been the most reliable method for me.

Watt (W) is a unit of Power. Watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of Energy (Power X Time). Increasing the size of a Lead-Acid battery increases both its capacity and its power doesn't mean those two properties are the same thing even though that internal resistance makes them appear that way. We had a...

Indeed and in many cases this isnt an issue. but loose/misuse terminology can can lead to significant misunderstanding and bad decisions.Clear communication requires translation of complex ideas without losing their essential meaning.

Agree with second sentence, disagree with first and third. A battery power rating determines what it can actually start or operate, whereas its work capacity only determines how long it can operate it.

Which can lead to ambiguity. Re your second sentence, it ignores time so …If Battery B can do more work in the same amount of time as Battery A, then it is more powerful.

Misuse I often see in forums… “Ampage” when they mean current. Confusing power and capacity - as in “that battery is more powerful” because it has a higher Ah rating.

No reason why not. It would depend on the mooring (former NB owner). That said a roof mount apart from when getting on and off would be fine for most folk.

Disappointed to find an increasing number of places I have stayed and visited ignore this regulation so much that I wondered if the regulation had been changed. Good to see that it’s just laziness.

Make sure it is dry and clean before applying then allow 48 hours to cure. Check for flexing as suggested above is a good idea.

Same here. Mine was installed 11 years ago.

I add it to the magnaclean unit every 3 or 4 years.
