[Closed] Carbon capture project cancelled

Who is this mysterious manufacturer? And what are the specifications of the DG units?
Bearing in mind I've already linked to 9 manufacturers on a Historic Scotland document.

[i]that can be fitted into the type of windows I have fitted[/i]

well you would say that, wouldn't you.

on the other hand;

You've clearly done a lot to insulate where you feel it's possible.

But to be so absolutist about stuff is just asking for people to come along and say 'but what about 'x' or 'y'?'

It may be that there is no more to be done but your approach to being quizzed tends to lead people to believe that you've got the blinkers on and believe that chez TJ is incapable of further improvement and that your mind is not going to be swayed by discussion - you'll subsequently just defend the position you currently have until everyone gets bored and moves on.

They came on and told me I could do more without knowing what I had done, when asked for specifics told me I could do things that are not allowed or possible and then got very offensive towards me. They did not ask what I had done nor sugest things I could do - they told me I could do things that re specifically excluded and / or not possible due to the construction - then got all offensive when told it was not possible

In the 20 years I have been here I have done my best. For two people who do not know the building and do not understand the regulatory environment to tell me that I can do more and accuse my of lying and hypocrisy is a bit much.

Just ask yourself - who is likely to know more about what is possible in a specific building? the person who has lived there for 20 years and have discussed improvements with the rregulators of two people who have never even seen the building?

I'm not saying you're wrong TJ, just that your somewhat, errmm, forthright way of dealign with what were, initially at least, fairly reasonable questions and comments tends to lead to lead to escalation.

wwaswas - "fairly reasonable questions and comments" this was their opening sallies

What TJ does know is that for an attic flat which if properly insulated would be heated by the people living below his energy bills are embarrassing and would demonstrate just how hypocritical he is on this thread - moaning about others not doing anything to cut their carbon emissions when his own home is greenhousing the planet.

"My attic is as well insulated as possible -"

I wager it's not.
I'd put good money on your windows only having a u value of about 1,5W/m2ºC and don't take full advantage of solar gain... And your walls not being 0,35W/m2ºC... And your roof....

Jumping straight in to the attack with a load of wrong assumptions.

No one lives below me. I have as much insulation fitted as possible, I have fitted the best windows I can. Because they do not know either my building or the regulatory environment....................

Jumping straight in to the attack with a load of wrong assumptions.

TJ - step away now, seriously...

I'm pretty sure that your two main tormentors are having a good giggle at you with this thread since I'm fairly sure their aim is simply to turn your 'show me proof' stance on every other thread back at you.

FWIW, despite my reckoning that you're probably right about the potential for any (practical/realistic) further improvements to your home wrt to this discussion, reading your responses to Don and Edukator does not show you in a good light IMO. You are rude and insulting where there's no real reason to be. I'd suggest that considering the way you deal with other people, you should have thicker skin to deal with the apparent slights headed your way.

I am sure your right - I only replied to wwaswas - those two are now on my killfile so I don't have to see any more posts from them.

Only in reply to insults from them - questioning my integrity, calling me a liar and a hypocrite.

Teh insults came from them first

don - you don't know what you are talking about.

😆

I think Iwas really trying to say what clubber said, perhaps just less succinctly.

That's kind of my point though TJ - you read some comments as insults which as an independent observer I don't believe are or were directly intended to be.

This for example

It's not an unreasonable comment in itself. Most people I reckon could have replied "you might think so but I've checked it all out and spent a fortune on it and can't find anything else to do. If you know something I've missed, please let me know" rather than take is as a grave insult.

And I'd also consider that it was a hook to get you into a position where you're unable to provide 'proof' to your own standards on other threads which might be something to think about too. Not being able to provide a link to proof is not the same as saying that something isn't correct.

Oh aye - I was stupid to bite on the hook and thats clearly what it was.

Its pretty offensive to be told I am wrong and hypocritical about something where they know nothing about the situation.

But the insults were intended to reel me in and I fell for it

ps I've just added a "TJ goes into orbit " tag as I thought it was appropriate here 🙂 Seriously, take a step back and wonder why it's always you.

was the one I quoted REALLY an insult? To call you to task considering your stance which comes across as an absolute isn't unreasonable is it?

Saying that someone may be wrong isn't an insult in itself - you should hope not as it seems to be a common accusation you make. Hypocritical is maybe more insulting but then you often talk in absolutes which basically makes a hypocrite of almost everyone in some way so I'd take that as more a comment on that than a direct insult...

Take a step back clubber, we'd hate to lose you.
😀

Don't look him in the eyes, Clubber! Back away.

😉

TJ's going to wonder what that's in response to because of the killfile...

Clubber - you recognised that they were deliberately trolling me.

Yes it was offensive - deliberately intended to be so - you need to read the posts before it to get the context.

I say - I have done everything possible I can to be told that I haven't by someone who does not have the knowledge or understanding to know this.

~Enough.

Guess I'm not getting through. I did read the whole thread (God help me) FWIW.

someone who does not have the knowledge or understanding to know this.

I'd say they had the knowledge, but perhaps not the understanding. Or are you aware of their professional competencies?

I repeat;

[i]you'll subsequently just defend the position you currently have until everyone gets bored and moves on. [/i]

Clubber - I do understand your point and thank you for it. I did react to the constant trolling

Tootall - its their knowledge of my building and the regulation under which i have to work where they do not have the knowledge. They have no knowledge of my building, no knowledge of the regulations

Saying I should get heat from the people who live below - no one actually lives below, stating I should put triple glazing in when it is not allowed, saying I should put shutters in when its not possible etc.

enough

I was stupid to let then troll me and should haveignored them earlier

Nope, you definitely have missed my point.

Saying I should get heat from the people who live below - no one actually lives below, stating I should put triple glazing in when it is not allowed, saying I should put shutters in when its not possible etc.

Got any proof of that? 😉

Clubber - I get your point.

Isn't carbon dead strong for making bikes with? Why would you want to bury it?

More or less what you did to me recently...
