So… A turnabout, but with extra steps.
So… A turnabout, but with extra steps.
I’ve seen a Makita eletric brush cutter with an adapter to plug straight into a standard outlet. The person who bought the machine told me it was more expensive than a battery pack but at least it made the machine usable for longer periods of time when energy is available.
Where is that sentence from?
Why can’t we have basic, objective, uncomplicated worded warnings like that? Maybe the stupid ratio would drop.
Taking some available space away is a given.
Many places have a long experience in dealing with cold, which my country lacks, hence I’m asking here for advice. The default solution was either endure it or burn more wood.
I may be able to shave off one or two centimeters of the total volume required as the walls are currently covered with a very thick layer of cement that was set with no concern to prior levelling the stone (in places where the mortars started to fail I chipped away to clear the loose material and there are spots where 2 to 3cm of cement could be saved just by grinding away an edge of a stone) but going by the solutions my market has available, I risk needing to layer up to 10cm of material on my walls.
I do intend to insulate floor and ceillings as they will be, for all practical purposes, rebuilt, as the current wood floors are thin.
The house is squeezed between a pedestrian street, where I can’t encroach, as there is little room already, and another house. I do have one wall I intend to insulate from the outside as it faces an empty plot.
Mineral wool I have been looking into it but I was warned it wicks moisture. Is this true?
As someone that has to work in very close proximity to feces, smelling it is a good sign. Not smelling it is the alarm bell.
Now you got me seriously depressed.
You could put giant billboards warning for the risk and it would still become a recurring event. Even if it said “warning: this is capable of grinding a human being to pulp”.
Go for the medieval look.
That was the kind of thought I was looking for.
None is an option.
I’ve seen that material, I think.
Does it look essentially like a piece of drywall lined with styrofoam?
I understand that concern and I intend to improve the thermal efficiency of the house but not at the cost of turning bedrooms into pantries.
The house is really old and there are rooms under 10 square meters; a standard couples bed (140x200cm) will not fit there and even a single bed will make the room feel cramped.
The cork I’ve been able to find specifically warns against painting it or covering it in any fashion. I could go for an accent wall on it but it is not a material easy to match and the texture is just off.
I may use cork liner on the floor before setting down wood pavement (I intend to reuse every piece of wood I can manage to salvage) but not on the walls.
And yes, styrofoam is horrendously fragile. At some point you may have to consider replacing parts of it, which apparently is very easy, but just putting up such a fragile material doesn’t make sense for me.
Stone. No gaps I can take advantage of.
Thank you.
But… Why do you assume I have instant knowledge of acronyms because I opted to insert a comment on a topic that teased my interest? Does it pressuposes anything about my person?
Their not exactly the most sociable bunch but cow dung is not exactly runny.
And I have seen a cow with the runs and the poor creature sounded like a water cannon going off.
What have you been feeding your cows?
Beer and macadamia.
So… Drunk cows with the runs.
Good morning.
Let’s call that example the canary in the mine but I’m seeing many similar situations where I live.
Being in a less than urban area, there is still a bit of industry around and some factories are cutting staff and a few have already shut down operations, especially in sectors more closely related with end user products (clothing, footwear, yarn, etc). Industries with ties to industrial use (metal working, construction materials, wood and derivates) are keeping afloat but only replacing workers that go into retirement or that for some reason or another just quit, and these industries, in my understanding, are keeping afloat because of the hard push into more sustainable and efficient houses, which is forcing a good deal of public investment into large renovation projects and funds.
Parallel to this, bakeries, coffee shops, small businesses that rely on consumption, are shutting down. For me, this implies there is less money floating around.
Paired with the hike in housing…
You are going to have to unfold all of those acronyms before we can move forward with this conversation.
I don’t have the palest of ideas of what you are trying to convey.
They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.
