	RE: Tinkerer's corner By Majordennisbloodnok, 1 day ago Forum Safety, Regulations, Tools, Plumbing & DIY Installations
	Not a silly idea, @downfield, but not quite what I'm looking for. Interestingly, whilst I couldn't get away with a 4x4 winch (scaled down or otherwise) on the window frame, @transparent's post is very...
	RE: Tinkerer's corner By Transparent, 1 day ago Forum Safety, Regulations, Tools, Plumbing & DIY Installations
	Lots of Land Rovers used to have a 12v electric winch bolted to the front of the chassis. Your problem would be to stop it pulling the entire blind off the window! Fortuitously, there's a model of suc...

	@majordennisbloodnok Well - I'll go first with a silly idea. If you have a pulley at the top and attach a heavy weight to the cord, then you could put a regular blind motor in the bottom spool and as ...

	OK, one final question before Christmas, but not expecting answers until well after 25th.... Imagine a blind the shape of an isosceles triangle on a roller that's spring-loaded. Imagine that, to pull ...
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By JamesPa, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	Which is one reason why I now talk about the economic security argument for renewables. There are a group of people, who may not environmentally tuned in, but who nevertheless value the concept that ...
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By Majordennisbloodnok, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	Actually I wasn’t making any comments about environmental issues within public opinion. My point was more prosaic; given heat pumps are recognised as more environmentally friendly, asking the environm...
	RE: Setback savings - fact or fiction? By cathodeRay, 1 day ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	Exactly. We only need to compare conditions, to decide whether they are similar or not. I now have the python code to get a simple 24 hour plot of OAT, I just need to run a loop to get a series of pl...
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By TechnoGeek, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	@toodles Now that I have had my solar array and batteries installed to my own specifications, I am starting to think your way now. My main driver was to shield ourselves as much as possible from the...
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By Toodles, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	@majordennisbloodnok Sadly, I feel that is so. Toodles.
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By Majordennisbloodnok, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	I’m sure there are people who do, indeed, care enough about the environment to back their convictions financially - my family are just such examples. However, I strongly suspect the membership of this...
	RE: Setback savings - fact or fiction? By Majordennisbloodnok, 1 day ago Forum Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs)
	I agree, but the “similarity categorisation” could just as easily include first/last values as well to cover that. That would also at least partly address @jamespa’s concern about effect of previous d...
	RE: Never mind the OAT… By Toodles, 1 day ago Forum Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
	@jamespa The decision to ‘Go Green’ in our case certainly contained a large element of ‘social responsibility’ - not so much for this or next year but for the whole of humanity for centuries to come. ...
