choffer Posted July 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2022 Would be stretching it to say I often wonder it but when did they remove all the “in emergency break glass” hammers off trains? The wee boxes are still there but empty. Presumably in a worst case scenario, we just form an orderly queue and wait patiently for either rescue or a slow death?

Rds1983 Posted July 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2022 From an evolutionary point of view why has no virus evolved to provide positive symptoms (like a boost of adrenaline or serotonin) so you walk around feeling strong or happy for a few days. Is it they don't exist or perhaps they do and we're just not looking for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Can you reason with a wife/partner. I think I mentioned we are having a kitchen extension done. Well, builder's been round gave us the quote all good, got a cancelled job too, so can start in 4 weeks great, sorted the funds and plans. Now the Mrs decided she wants underfloor heating, (thinks a bigger kitchen won't be warm enough, even with more rads) which although not part of the budget will be okay in the extension, but means we will have to rip up the floor in the original kitchen, which is just not reasonable within the budget, or moreso the hassle of it. Ideally to save on costs we was just going to blend in the original kitchen including flooring into the extension, easy. But now she is adamant we will need it, even after explaining the issues and hassle with having it done. It's really gonna end up the whole build being put on hold, cause there is know way I am ripping up the whole kitchen just for some underfloor heating system, not a chance!

Jeez this could get a bit funky !, maybe you could twist the builder into telling the Mrs about possible problems and expense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely. I mean it's nice to have given I'm renting at the moment. But the flats are so well insulated they're genuinely obsolete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I have underfloor heating in my kitchen extension and it is absolutely phenomenal. Basically heats up downstairs in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 So the latest on my underfloor heating conundrum. As I thought, the builder has said he will need to take 300mm up of the original kitchen floor, which my Mrs said okay, until he said it would take a full day with a jack hammer and he cannot guarantee it will not affect any other part of the house with the vibration. She says she is still interested in having it done, but I think she just doesn't wanna admit defeat. Winner winner chicken dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
