Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Having moved to the coast I'm trying to get my head round what works when external abs humidity > internal, and I want to reduce internal humidity. MVHR will bring in more moisture than it removes, correct? 111

Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer.bsky.social · 09/08/2026@resi-analyst.bsky.social @ngoodrichhsg.bsky.social I saw this article on X and didn't find mention in either of your feeds archive.is/SZjWL. The maths checks out, but is it making mistakes like the Economist article? 110

Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer.bsky.social · 07/12/2025The glue on Tescon Vana is impressive, I've used it a few times mostly for repairs and not how it's meant to be used 😀 The problem here was a 20mm gap down the side of the window, sealed w 1/4" render if lucky.

Peter Bowyer @peterbowyer.bsky.social · 27/02/2025I've got a smart meter, and pull the data into a Google sheet. My most useful report is average daily usage since I moved here, which helps me see if we're reducing our usage. 010
!["The costs of building a house exceed what could be borrowed against future rental income paid on that house,” states a recent report from The Housing Forum, a trade body representing the housing sector.
"For instance, if a council borrowed £202,000 (the cost of the most straightforward house) at an interest rate of 5 per cent, the interest payments alone would be £194 a week, considerably higher than the latest data on average social rents for a three-bedroom home of £111 a week, or £152 for affordable rents." [Affordable rent is usually set at 80 per cent of market rent.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:aqnxbzvim7qxflrdq2hinpd5/bafkreidz3pqnq5visqvfkvut3rqtgjqdp5zn2eisap7y4auxivkazbx7fu)
