Re: Solar Electricity - is it worth the investment?

Short answer is no. Much better to reduce your consumption. Solar water heating is probably a better investment.

Re: Various -Pool Covers/ Cabinet Maker/Removals

We are on our third bubble cover now in eight years. The first was supplied by crooked dutchman (I have nothing against the Dutch by the way). That cover unfortunately got badly damaged by clients and had to be replaced after less than a year. On investigation, it worked out way way cheaper to buy o...

It is not as simple as "taking the responsibility for someone else's work". The electrician has to make sure tha the installation is up to today's standards when signing off on the paperwork. He should, in principle, do a complete revision of the electrical installtion to make sure that it is up to...

If anyone is interested in solar heating, and has the room, I have six large (3mx 1.2m) unused solar lanels for avaialble at a good price. We have six on our pool (11 x 6m) and they are very effective.
