Weetabix
Builders, Engineers and Architects.

Looking for an ecological building material that will give you a solid construct tougher than concrete?

Build your house out of weetabix, pour milk over it and let it set for 5 days.

Its fucking bombproof.

Please direct this advice to
The Head Cheese
TEPCO
Japan

I suspect he might need to construct something rather sturdy in the near future.

Not only ecological,
but delicious with sliced banana.

Talking of Weetabix
A plumber I know told me a story. One of his customers was sitting watching TV when he heard this almighty bang, The hot water cylinder which was in the loft had come crashing through the ceiling! Apparently it had been mounted on CHIPBOARD ( Hows that for a bodge job! )and it had sprung a leak which to use his terminology had turned the aforementioned material into "Weetabix", so it gave way and down it came.

Ah
But had he filled the hot water cylinder with milk this wouldn't have happened.

Science.

Cold water tank goes in the loft.
Hot water cylinder goes in the airing cupboard.

However, a stuck thermostat makes hot water flow up the vent pipe into the cold water tank in the loft, cold water then cycles round and round through hot cylinder getting hotter and hotter for about 3 days until the plastic tank in the loft goes all floppy from the heat and discharges 20 gallons of boiling water through your ceiling. People sleeping underneath malfunctioning cold tanks have died because of this.

Euro regs now demand all hot water cylinders are fitted with two thermostats precisely for this reason. Most people will hear the bubbling of boiling water for a day or so beforehand, also the hot water coming out of the taps will be VERY hot, much more than usual.

Combi boiler. Job done, no storage tanks needed.
Handy hint: Save up the extra £200 and buy a really good one, such as Worchester. You'll make the money back in 6-12 months on lower gas bills.

this made me laugh way too hard
I've had quite a few clients I'd happily suggest this too as well :)
