I am planning to install a new (replacement) radiator in the lounge. Once I have calculated the volume of the room, what sums do I need to work out the BTU for the radiator? I tried Goggling it, but it just listed a lot of videos. I do not think I need a video to do some sums.

Are btus for radiators in metric or English? I can do either, but not a mix of the two.

Can any practical peeps on here refer me to where there is the written sum, for old-school peeps like moi?

TBH my advice is the get the biggest radiator that'll fit, the thermostatic valve will control it's heat output.

Seems ok in Peterborough ,shopping and maybe a bike ride..
Mrs lon was up in the night with a nasty IBS attack and still in her pit..so this plan may fail

It could be this bug ! I hope she gets better soon.

Bin News.

The bin was just by the gate on Thursday night. It was clearly judged to have not been worth the effort as the one black bag is still in it.

Do i qualify for a Council tax rebate?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Thank you

Having a plumpitty day today. There will probably be lots of chocolate involved.

Did stack a load of wood along the fenceline to season: wire fence, conifer hedge keeps the wood dry and the prevailing wind comes from that direction. It's perfect for drying green wood.

The drawing of my LH 90B is just about complete. I have started applying watercolour to it. Some pen work will still need to be done to do shading and stuff. It's a challenge, as the photo I'm working from is black and white.

I bought the photo on an autojumble many moons ago (ok, 1993) for 50p.

Would you have preferred three inches of old snow

Off to go have a spot of lunch.

Have the last of the pulled ham hock and parsley sauce. Will put on a pan of pasta. Cups of tea will also be involved.

Be careful no-one threatens you with sports then.

Bought a new shower unit to replace the old unit . Now the fun starts, trying to see if and why it won't fit where the old one did.
