Oh yea…. and sorry to OP I have never heard what you wish to purchase.

This was mine , happy memories.

Thanks wwaswas, nothing beats a good screwing thread!

KitKat balls.

Look at it this way.

Man fires up gas BBQ and gets to work straight away.

Man lights charcoal then drinks beer whilst BBQ heats up.

No contest.

SEAS cast magnesium cone drivers? Did you design the x-over and bass loading too?

Well spotted on the seas drivers, to build they took about 130 hrs work but I was being a bit fancy here and there with the cabinets .
They are called Thor evo 4 and came in kit form from Intertechnick who also offer a Xover build option which I took full advantage of, they are mass loaded transmission line which seas commissioned Joe D’Apolito to design to show off their drivers .
I didn’t add up all the cost to accurately but they are close to 1k each but have proved to worth every penny sound wise 😀

someone like this?

I did all the cabinet construction following a design by Joe D’apolito and all the components were in a kit bought from Intertechnik who also offer a crossover build service so I can’t really take credit for that bit either.
Never the less my next speaker project has no option on the crossover so ill be having a go at it myself.

Table and speakers all my own work but I take no credit for the horse and wraith.

I was quite taken with CFH’s chill out album …Flaccid Moments.

You are not wrong most people don’t have the heating on and windows open at the same time.

It does reduce signs of condensation but I find dehumidifiers more effective and you must also consider the living conditions.

66deg GUIDE TO CONDENSATION.

Imagine you are a Victorian cyclist lying in bed after a long day on the penny farthing the room you are in has huge volume with a high ceiling the sash windows rattle,gaps in the floor boards poorly fitting doors all conspire to let loads of air into your room , the fire is lit and draws air from within the room up the flu and away and draughts exist all over the place.
Compare this to our modern room it’s much smaller and well insulated not a breath of air can get past the tightly fitting carpets with thick rubber underlay or from the airtight window seals no air comes from other rooms and the central heating doesn’t have a flu constantly drawing air through the property.
Oh and we spend all day building up the moisture level from many sources.
Condensation in a property can be bad for your health so it’s better to do something about it . Changing your windows for new ones will make no difference to your condensation problem, in order to sort it out you need to look at where all the moisture comes from.

1 Baths & Showers.
2 Plant pots.
3 Breathing.
4 sweating.
5 Boiling kettles.
6 cooking.
7 Fish tanks.
8 Cat & dog water bowls.
9 Clothes drying.

All of these are constantly increasing the moisture level in your house, so here are some solutions to reduce the level of moisture.

1 Baths & Showers
Hose the family down in garden if its too time consuming invest in a Karcher to speed the job along.

2 Plant pots.
Get yourself down to Ikea and buy plastic plants.

3 Breathing.
Stop breathing, now I must admit to not trying this one I knew someone who did but he is sadly no longer with us to explain how it went.

4 Sweating.
Try wearing a wetsuit indoors.

5 Boiling kettles.
Ban the drinking of tea and coffee….beer only and it has to go down in one.

6 Cooking.
Jamie Oliver and Delia Smith should be deported and if you get hungry buy all your meals from Greggs (like any sane MTBer would do).

7 Fish tanks.
Empty the tank then place garden canes across the top and suspend cardboard cut outs of fish from different lengths of cotton you can imagine you are John Noakes whilst doing it.

8 Cat & dog water bowls.
Put them in the greenhouse I’m sure they will get on fine.

9 Clothes drying.
Dispense with unnecessary garments and go everywhere in the buff.

As you no doubt can tell some these solutions could prove difficult so the alternative is to carry on living as you are and buy a dehumidifier.

On the question of the trickle vent which seems daft to me to have a source of cold air above the inner pane of double glazing, you have to think of it from the point of view of building regs its any easy place to install a vent to try and get some air into our sealed up houses and as windows are fairly frequently replaced it gets a lot of vents into a lot of houses but a vent in the wall would achieve the same thing just more costly to do.

Opel Manta 2.0 GTE

same here, one of the last exclusives in white, miss it soo much

205GTI 1.9 on an F plate

RS2000 in signal amber with vinyl roof and roll top Recaro’s 1978, sold for £2k !!!

1972 Mini Cooper, 1275, discs, 731 cam. first car, sold for £500

Great cars makes up for your questionable taste in music, I suppose if you drive fast enough no one can hear Donny Osmond turned up to 11. 😀

The hinge side is on the left and the red packers are the only ones left in when finished, different thickness packers are inserted into the highest horizontal red block to adjust the casement up or down, other adjustments exist on hinges.
Fixed panes are simply two horizontal packers left and right, different thicknesses to to make it look central.

Good Luck 🙂

Edit… any damp problems caused by failed DPC would be penetrating damp and not condensation.

Face brick, moderish bungalow, window installation doesn’t get easier than that .
First thing is are you going to fit tilt & turn so like for like the only reason I ask is for fire escape at the moment it is excellent and comply’s with what used to be the FENSA regs ( I left the UK a couple of years after FENSA started and have no idea if it is still going or not’ you would need to check up on that).
Choose a supplier and ask how they fill in a survey form for tilt & turn windows i.e if they view from inside or outside to determine if a casement is on the right or the left and which side the handle goes on.
They may offer a surveying service for a few quid which does mean they are responsible for getting it right.
As you have face brick to measure to take three sizes for the width top,middle and bottom use the smallest size and knock off 5 to 8mm to allow for a small gap around window.
The height is a little different as their will be a piece of steel about 10MM thick which holds up the top bricks, so as before but from the steel
to the underneath the cill three measurements take the smallest and knock a bit off, if you are at all unsure take one of the smaller windows out then temporary refit it .Also check sizes internally(belt & braces)
So to fit them first cut external cills to same width as window screw them on then glue end caps(super glue) remove old window and clean old silicone off reveals (scraper and or wire brush).
Bed of mortar along the bottom If their is enough room or leave dry if not.
Check for level then fix hinge side first usually three 8 or 10mm bolts (expansions are best) top and bottom bolts about 12 to 15cm away from the corner.
Before bolting handle side check that when the casement is being closed the top and bottom contact the frame at the same time this is very important for smooth functioning after installation.If it doesn’t use shims to correct it before bolting in. Fix bottom with one bolt for a one metre wide window two or more for wider windows all fixings should have a packer between frame and brick to hold everything firm these can be adjusted for level:plumb etc.
To fix into steel plate buy a few long series 5.5 metal drill bits then use standard brown plug and wood screw.
Silicone seal sides and bottom with clear silicone if you cut the nozzle to the the correct size just lay it up without smoothing down with your finger this will look better in years to come when the silicone gets dirty.
As for the top if you can see the steel use a plastic strip to cover as it will go rusty if not seal in the same way as the sides .
Internally fill any gaps with plaster if you are redecorating or stick on a D mould to finish off for now and remove in the future when you redecorate.
Ill post more on installing the DG unit after I’ve looked for some
photos.

Edit any bolts or screws in the bottom of frame where water potentially passes by on it’s way to the drain holes should be covered with a blob of silicone.

If you download this from the GGF it gives all the info you need regarding condensation.

Avoid Safestyle like the plague.

I was a self employed window installer for nearly 20 years and always hated the reputation our industry had because of the sales practices you have described above if you can find a one man band with a good reputation in your area this is a good way to go, as for fitting yourself it depends on the age and type of property you have, some modern houses are a doddle and others generally older ones would be better left to a professional.
As far as condensation is concerned buy a dehumidifier and keep it running overnight as the year starts to get colder then day and night in the depths of winter, condensation will always appear on the coldest thing in a room regardless of what it is. If you want further advice on fitting post up a piccie of your house and ill get back to you.

Oh and avoid Safestyle like the plague.

I may be interested depends what you have?

This cupcake costs $900 which starts to make those shoes look like a bargain.

Check out ernie’s new bike 😛

I knew I’d seen you somewhere before.

Now I am confused was Meg faking or does she have a toaster under the table.

Actually, you can have the app on more than one phone and then pair them together. That way, someone can remotely control speeds, pulses and so on.

Is it kinda like a threesome with no one in the same room…call me an old traditionalist if you like but somehow the old fashioned way seems better.

It’s not only bike bits being tested at STW towers.

You can send instructions to it, to turn it on and off remotely. And they can be worn discretely under clothing. So you might like to give your partner a nice surprise whilst you’re on a date. Or she’s out at work. Or having lunch with the vicar, or something.

Er, I imagine.
