Agreed, I put a 5cm thick layer of builders sand, then underlay, then the liner. Ours is just under 3 foot deep. A digger was definitely needed with our soil though!

It is pretty easy to do yourself, and driving a digger isn’t hard. If you have the time it is also good fun, and it means you can iterate the design as you go. A few pics of ours as we built it:

What he said [emoji16]
I did big miles on my Honda NS125f when I was an 18 year old student. Once rode from Southampton to Cardiff with my now wife on the back in a snowstorm. From memory I did about 25k miles that year...
I would say so yes, but 150 miles either way wouldn’t be significant for me.
Very obviously not true, for someone that likes to think they do research you really need to check your sources and not be so credulous in trying to hold onto your beliefs. You asked for a multi year...
It’s very individual to your property and location as said before. Our system as an example generated 183kwh in Jan, 205kwh in February, that jumped to 450kwh in March, and in the first 3 days of...
I don’t mind at all. That cost included 3.5K of roof costs by the way, as they are in built panels and we needed the ridge sorting anyway. The maths stand up, given our use during the day.
I...
My first was a Raleigh Budgie too! First proper bike was a Raleigh extra burner. First proper mountain bike (of many) was a Raleigh Mustang. Love that my oldest is now into cycling as well.
It was my knees that limited time for me, but could manage an hour or more before having to stretch! I am really tempted to go back to 2 bikes and get one of these and a 1200GS instead of the H2 SX.
Interesting, I found the 9T ok, and would be very tempted with the Triumph, that green is lovely.
Eh? I do not use excessive punctuation. It is either Tapatalk, or you are just argumentative. Either way I am out now.
If you cannot find it, that is not my problem. Sorry OP, I take partial blame for derailing this thread, I am out but still interested to read about heat pumps.
Edit to say, are you ok, I was not...
Literally 2 posts before you asked. I fail to see what point you are making anyway, it works for us, and sounds like it would not for you.
Yes in this thread. Have I said any different regarding your location point? I do not understand what is hard about this? The case for solar is completely specific to an individual property, it would...
You are very right, I don’t really care as the maths work for us (and I am reasonably sensible [emoji4]), and his opinion is based on a belief rather than facts.
6.5 years being pretty conservative with tariff predictions. As said before it depends on location and roof aspect.
It’s not secret, I said before… south of England! North Hampshire to be more specific. I don’t know the specific latitude, I am so sorry. What is your point? It works if it works for your house and...
The install was 21K for roughly 7.5 kw potential, but that was as we went for in roof panels for looks rather than the normal install. Yes 10Kwh battery, but also the auto backup for power cuts...
You have obviously made your mind up, but my actual experience of a real system differs. As I said it depends on where you are, your roof orientation, the kit you buy and your use.
As one example...
Have you actually done the maths? You come across as just being down on solar without facts to back it up.
The cost of the panels is relatively cheap, the battery is the expensive bit. We are...
I think you may need to look at your maths again as you are still paying for power… we also get 18p/kwh feed in all day, apart from 4-7pm where it is 30. The battery is set to charge at cheap rate at...
I cannot comment on the heat pump. We are considering too, but the heating engineer I trust is sceptical of it would work for our house without spending a lot of money.
Regarding solar, for us...
Photo from back in the day, somewhere in France… 1 6R, 2 9Rs and an Italian bike with dodgy electrics [emoji4]

Thanks for making me laugh Gyp, I have done similar faffing around with luggage [emoji4]
