  • My brother in Christ, how much do you know about housing? Renovations? Insulation? Mycology?

    The standard that likely had not been followed was ensuring that the property was watertight to begin with.

    The dry rot that is spreading through their house is effectively going to condemn it.

    Your take of “hurdur, how hard could it be to do some insulation? you glue on the boards, mesh and render” is asinine at best.

    Lots of these companies didn’t do their due diligence to ensure the suitability of the properties before installing.

    Which then disproportionately effects people who are less likely to be able to afford repairs due to them already being on very limited lower incomes, the exact reason why they are getting this work done via these schemes.

    I took wouldn’t want to trust the same company that put me into that position to be the one to rectify it.







  • This is one that seriously gets me as to why we don’t do this more, it would make so much sense. Obvious benefits are power generation, but also when you consider, it would significantly reduce how scorching hot large carparks get in the sun, depending on the style of the solar canopy being built it could also massively reduce the amount of water flow onto the ground reducing some wear on the tarmac in addition to some hazards.

    Also for places like the UK where we typically don’t have huge amounts/extended periods of snow, as long as the canopy is sufficiently designed for the additional weight, you could ameliorate the need to salt the car parks, once again increasing the life of the tarmac.

    It would also keep people’s cars much cooler, in the sun, and make things generally a lot cooler below the canopy.
