    Renovating Early 1970s house - Asbestos

    Yes good news and pleased that you also managed to recoup some of your expense, the house will be all the better as well I imagine :D

    Mould on ceiling, tile grouting and sealant

    Very pleased that it has worked for you. Not too sure about mould resistant paints, like most of these items they seem to work for a short period. Regarding the grout, the only thing that might work is a waterproof epoxy grout, but be warned they are absolutely hell to apply and clean the tiles...

    MAS Flight Number MH 370

    Of the ten I think 9 is the most plausible, the flight deck has its own supply of oxygen which will last far beyond that of the main cabin. This is also the theory expressed by my friends son-in-law who is a commercial long haul pilot.

    MAS Flight Number MH 370

    Everything is pointing to one or both pilots, turning off transponders and engine and airframe monitoring equipment on those aircraft is not a case of throwing a simple switch, several on the flight deck have to be turned off and getting through that door is no piece of cake either, if anyone...

    MAS Flight Number MH 370

    [/url] It is not yet official, they are saying COULD have etcetera, although everything is pointing that way as a search would by now have heard the signal sent out by the black box if it went down anywhere near the search area. This will transmit for 30 days following disconnection from the...

    climate change eh!

    I'm not sure that there is anyone that can be trusted with such an emotional subject. As they say time will tell and I don't thing I have enough time left, as I suspect few others have either.

    climate change eh!

    Works for me and my ad blocker showed it had prevented 40 ads from glitching my computer, this could be the problem. Not sure that it told us much anyway, other than a lot of conflicting views.

    Central Heating - Radiators cold downstairs

    I think that the problem must be solved, well at least we hope so :)

    climate change eh!

    All that is quite true of course, but as I say it was never said that it would cost nothing. There is always a cost to everything, maintenance and so on. In the case of nuclear I believe that the big cost, in terms of money, is in disposal of waste and de-commissioning. On the question of gas...

    climate change eh!

    Sorry that should have been addressed to EFLImpudence :cry:

    climate change eh!

    Well anobium, I am certainly old enough to remember the first nuclear power station at what was then Calder Hall, and whilst it was suggested that it would give us cheaper electricity, it was never promised to be free, gas was certainly cheaper when the field off the coast of East Yorkshire came...

    Decking over removed pond

    I can absolutely see no reason at all why that will not be a good sound structure and I'm sure it will be fine.

    Decking over removed pond

    I entirely agree, which is why I suggested filling with backfill and covering this with a weed control or other such lining on the top, before applying a layer of soil.

    Mould on ceiling, tile grouting and sealant

    Completely agree with all of this and you should fit a fan that will give you 6 changes of air per hour in the bathroom/shower room. Extractor fan manufacturers will give you this information.
