Electric immersion heater, running on off peak electricity

Rapists deserve nothing less than castration.
I agree, it’s very difficult to change habits as you get older, but the hardest thing is to put yourself out there, and not be afraid of making mistakes, and actually put in the monumental effort required to integrate. Older people who I have met, are more likely to find a bubble of people who speak the same language. I was lucky, I was only 28 when I arrived, and my wife is french, hence why I am lucky.
I moved to France,not able to speak a word, and within 3 years, I was working in a french only environment. It’s difficult, and I won’t pretend that everyone will have my luck, and opportunities,but it’s not unreasonable either.
Monkey’s paw: it is a potion with an aoe 10’ radius, makes everyone violently ill.
You’ll never see above the clouds if you don’t put in the effort to climb the mountain. Be brave and risk getting hurt, it’s normal to be scared, but there’s no way to get the best out of life without making yourself vulnerable.
I used to hate the idea of full board hotels in Spain, there was nothing more boring than staying in the same place for more than a few days, but now I have 3 kids, I love the idea of someone else cooking, cleaning, and serving me cheap drinks. Best bit, is when the kids ask me to play with them, I can actually say yes!
Im sure if you go to Italy it’s not pronounced balloney,and that the evolution of the language has contorted the way it should be said. However, that’s not guaranteed, for example, the French city of Riems, is pronounced “ranse”, nothing like what it should, if the usual rules are followed.
Never try to keep water out of a building using impermeable coatings, rubberised paint, ciment render, etc etc. A building MUST breath, even at the cost of some inward moisture during wetter periods, any water that will inevitably creap in,and even the moisture you create by living in the building,needs to escape, or I guarantee you will have mould and rot problems down the line. Water which can not escape from behind an impermeable coating is worse that no coating at all. I recommend a lime render for all building needs.
The angle grinder idea is the easiest and probably cheapest, they can be bought very cheap these days, I saw one for 20€ in a shop, brand new the other day, I’m sure you could look at the second hand market and get something very cheap.
The ROI is long term, and not sure if it would actually happen, considering potential mechanical failure. My best plan for a high ROI is to put a hydraulic solar panel on the roof. Just need to get round to it, so many other jobs taking priority at the moment.
