    housemouse replied to the topic Ground Source Heat Pumps in the forum DIY 2 years, 6 months ago

    Have you considered air source heat pumps.

    Mitsubishi are claiming to have a new range of co2 refrigerant based ones offering CoPs of up to 4 whilst producing DHW.

    They sound too good to be true and they might be. I’ve not checked to deeply yet.

    housemouse replied to the topic Painting – DIY in the forum DIY 2 years, 6 months ago

    I have used a sprayer, but would say, don’t use inside. It was perfect for my exterior as the walls are scat coated, but inside use a roller.

    Tadpoles eat blanket weed, but you may need quite a few!

    Grass carp would eat it, possibly ducks?

    Many fisheries (including my fishing club) use bales of straw to limit algae growth, but I have no idea about quantities.

    When I had PF I had steroid injections to the base of my foot. It bloody hurt, but solved the issue.

    housemouse replied to the topic European holiday recommendations? in the forum Chit Chat 2 years, 11 months ago

    I was just coming on to say Croatia too! We have just been for the fourth time and love it. If you are careful about where you eat/stay, it can also be pretty cheap.

    housemouse replied to the topic House insulation improvements? in the forum DIY 2 years, 11 months ago

    You could pay £50 quid for an EPC, that includes a list of recommendations from someone that has looked at your particular house. Fitting loft insulation is probably the easiest single hit.
