Re: Wood burner v Pellet burner heaters

One benefit for me with a log burner is you can find lots of free wood - branches lying around on walks and such. I don't find many wood pellets 😁

Re: Applying for E Visa for India

We used the E Visa for a cruise in Dec, it was fine getting the e visa online, but a friends photo was rejected so had to do it again, also had to pay again.

If its for a cruise, they accept from Nov 2017 the e-visa at 5 or 6 ports I think.

Re: Fish ponds

I have a small duck pond made from an old satellite dish, it does go green in the summer despite a filter and UV light but the ducks like eating the algae.

Re: Topographic Survey

Hi, we used this chap, very professional. From what I remember he gets the cadastral plans with GPS points from the land registry, then checks them at your property that all is correct. I think he charges something like 25 euros per post marked using GPS. Michalis Odyssea Michael Land Surveyor Mob. ...

Re: Planning permission

From my experience a few years ago, any structure that has a “permanent” roof needs planning consent / permit. I know this as I was prosecuted for quite a large pergola type building, admittedly is was a bit of an ugly structure but the district planner was in the area at the time over a road disput...

Re: Are you living in an area with danger of fire? Pool? Pump..

Its a good idea, but if its a big fire then there is a good possibility that the electricity will be down, so then you need a generator as well . :D

Re: CYTANET-Mandatory purchase of more upload- Experiences?

You could buy a netgear pro safe managed switch for about £50 which will show send / receive traffic for each Ethernet port. If its a wireless device causing the problem, you could also isolate them. I don't have a cyta modem now but I thought you could see traffic per wirelss connection using the a...
