  1. I think the idea is to "feel" for the rubbish. It was suggested that you should have a "feel" when all is clear to find out what that means so that when you come to "feel" in earnest you will know if something is there or not.
  2. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  3. Have a look here: Solid Fuel Technology Institute and here: Boat Safety Scheme Advice Without an effective protection panel at least 800mm gaps. With an effective protection panel at least 80mm plus the tiles (that is 10mm air gap, 25mm calcium silicate board and 45mm air gap)
  4. You must know some posh Edinburgh people. When I heard the joke, two Scottish widow ladies were discussing their lives following the loss of their husbands. The first asked "What do you do about sex?" The second replied, "About sex I have a cup of tea."
  5. This suggests the Naas Branch reopened in 1987: https://www.iwai.ie/kildare/places-of-interest/naas-branch-of-grand-canal/ This suggests the River Suck to Ballinasloe opened in 2001: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/new-canal-opens-this-week-1.308262
  6. Why not drain the header tank down, remove it and replace with a clear version so you can see the water level? Less exciting than a cobbled-together float indicator but longer lasting I would have thought.
  7. An article on the Chesterfield Canal Society website (https://chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk/gallery/photos/staveley-puddlebank/ ) suggests that the Staveley Puddlebank was built entirely of interlocked clay blocks. Does this help you?
  8. I'm glad you're speaking of zombie posts. I'm still here.
  9. Have a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t19sRgqU4-4 I don't vouch for the effectiveness -I'm no engineer either.
  10. You must be using a particularly heavy toilet paper. Mine are hung to pull from the top and I've never suffered from gravitational issues.
  11. No, this is the correct way! Get yourself a roll holder that has enough distance between the wall and the roller to take the rolls you use without them touching the wall.
  12. Perhaps I'm missing something here. This fuel is said to be a hydrocarbon fuel but is, apparently, made from carbon monoxide and oxygen. An essential "ingredient" of a hydrocarbon is hydrogen - there is no hydrogen in either of the two stated components. It is said that the fuel, when burned, produces only water and heat. Water includes hydrogen. Where does it come from if it's not in the fuel? What happens to the carbon in the carbon monoxide, it certainly doesn't form part of the water and heat has no chemical composition. Has some miracle happened?
