I also have a over cooker hood with grease and carbon filters re-circulating internally. If I didn't have a 3.2 meter ceiling height, I'd be looking into getting the hood ducted to outside too. But I do so I'm not. My kitchen is internal (windowless) so building regs require a ceiling extract...

I believe the insulation piles were created by a sparky who rewired the house before I bought it. Only discovered the state of the insulation after chasing down some water ingress. Haven't gotten round to replacing it yet as I'm using part of the loft for storage and the cold water mains +...

Annoyingly, I asked my factor for a recommended roof contractor and that's what I got. The person I arranged the job with seemed to be quite pleasant, appeared more competent than the ones carrying out the work at least. I'm going to send them some pictures and ask if they think that is...

Yeah, the grey flexi is joined to the white flexi (there's a bit of pipe inside by the feel of it), and the whole thing is taped to a 2x4 screwed into a joist. The blue fan doesn't look like it gets power. It's made by "Roof Units Group", which I've never heard of and I'm guessing is super old...

I had my kitchen extract ducting replaced as it was done badly and I think it's been bodged again. Some pics attached. What are the regs for kitchen extract ducting? I have no idea why they decided to cut a 2ft of the PVC pipe to replace it with 5ft of flexi. Surely that flexi is too long...

I was thinking 3 2x4's at 400 centre spanning the 3m, laid edge-ways, then boarded over the top. Not sure what the exact definition of a mezzanine is but I guess you could call it that, it would be similar apart from primarily being used for storage, not people.

My small 2 bed flat is severely lacking in storage space. The guest/office room is currently used as a store / laundry drying room and I'm wanting to get that sorted. My flat is an old tenement building so it has high ceilings (approx 3.3m) and I'm considering getting a high level shelf put in...

I had to fit click and lock once where it had to go under the skirting but the skirting couldn't be removed. I used a small trimming plane and made a few light passes over the raised lip on the last board of every row. That removed enough that it could be knocked into place but I also used a...

My work isn't directly related to climate change research but can use similar data sets. I do environmental impact assessments for proposed major projects/operations and the effect this has on the surrounding and greater environment. Climate change is only a small part of it, local populace...

So then why are you not complaining about these companies with record profits not paying their share and passing the buck if that's the case? Companies make billions of profit (record profits for some) for a small number of stakeholders, while avoiding as much tax as possible or passing it on...

Thanks for the link but if you dig a bit deeper, the 5 "green taxes" are somewhat misleading. 1- fuel duties came in the 90s under John Major before the climate crisis debate had any real traction and was reduced in the 2000s when climate debate was ramping up. So blaming climate debate for...

Probably best to let this thread die but I'm genuinely interested cause google doesn't provide any answers. What charges/taxes/payments do ordinary people pay in regards to climate? So far DorkLord still hasn't answered what taxes he was referring to and the only climate tax I've found so far...

You either have a very short memory or have no issues being a hypocrite. I couldn't care less about communism, socialism, or any other idealistic paper philosophy that doesn't work in real life. Democracy barely works. But there's no excuse for corporations to make £40+ billion and duck all...

1. so you think because grass has unlimited "food" (CO2) it should be greener? So temperature, sunshine, water, etc have no bearing in plant growth? The nonsense is coming from you. 2. " then come back to us with what level of TAX you think they should be paying". Direct quote from you. I'm...

you don't think cutting down somewhere in the region of 60% of the worlds trees and replacing it with concrete, hunting certain animals to extinction, pumping out billions of barrels of oil that's taken millions of years to accumulate, rapidly burning all that oil in the last 120 years, testing...

You ask someone to explain why your grass isn't greener and the oceans bursting with life. I answer, you ignore. You ask how much CO2 tax people should pay. I ask what CO2 taxes you're talking about and you ignore. You ask if you've slept through any other extreme weather events. I name at least...

So what you're saying is that it's only alarming if you're personally involved? That's a pretty hard and selfish metric for other people to live by. How about Burns day storm 1990 that killed 47 people, Cyclone Oratia in 2000 that had higher average wind and gust speeds than 1987, severe...

I'm still waiting to know what CO2 taxes you think you are/will be paying due to all this "climate change nonsense" yes and it's also a certainty that the planet will still be present for another million years at least. It'll just be a lifeless rock of sandy continents and acidic oceans in a...

I personally believe there is, the republicans and the right wing have realised it's easy to manipulate ignorant people and have weaponised misinformation. You saw it with Trump, he says some outrageous nonsense, Fox news repeats it, suddenly it's all over twitter like it's fact. It was voter...

I don't think they'd believe it even if their house was on fire, they'd stay inside and say it's fake news. The hectares of UK affected by wildfires has increased over 2300% in the last 6 years (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1322219/area-burned-by-wildfire-in-the-uk/) but it's "completely...
