I was thinking of you the other day. Realized I haven't seen a video from you in a while and I was hoping you were doing well. I'm glad to see you appear to be in good health and active.
The exact same happened to me! Hopped onto TH-cam for a casual stroll, thought "let's see how Harry's doing, it's been a while!", noticed he had uploaded a new video just yesterday. I considered myself blessed 😂 Glad to see you're doing good @harryrogers ! Keep rocking!
I am so glad to receive a video from you. I noticed you had not posted for a while and was concerned about you. Pleased to see you looking well. Thank you for another interesting video. Good to have you back. Wishing you all the best 😊
Great to see you again. A useful idea, I will get one. My workshop is so damp, brick & stone, no damp course and the dehumidifier can't keep up, tools rusting.
Lovely to see you Harry, and know that you are faring well after a long pause in your videos (and not many before that for a year when you used to post so regularly, much to the pleasure of us subscribers). Glad to hear you are enjoying life and taking it at your own pace, which is what we should all be doing really 😂. All the best, Gerry
How nice to see you again Harry, so I'm very pleased that you still enjoy posing videos because we all still love to see them ! This is a really pertinent subject and something I've been looking into, the whole energy efficiency vs ventilation subject seems quite complicated and new solutions are emerging all the time and (sometimes) getting cheaper and easier too ! I was about to say how smart your new Red livery was, even though I loved the previous cream & green, but then you explained the change, good for you, nice to have a refresh ! Wishing you a Happy 2024, hoping that you're keeping well, and thanks again for all your great content !
I finally had some spare evening time to come and watch your new video. I'm glad to see you again and looking no worse for wear! You say you've taken a slower pace in life but you're working on the house way more than 30-years-old-me does 😂 what a cozy environment you built for yourself, I especially love those stained glass windows. And thanks for making me discover this useful tool to reduce dampness in the house! I'm having quite the humidity problem myself, so I might resort to something similar. Hope to see you again soon!
I know we’ve never met or spoken, but I love your videos and I was just thinking about you the other day hoping you were in good health. Thank you for bringing such a kind and gentle energy to the work you so generously share with us.
Lovely seeing a video from you! Looking forward to the odd video now and then, as long as you enjoy doing them :^) And may I say, the shed is looking absolutely marvelous! Wonderful colour!
I am a native Floridian and about 10 years ago I started keeping a box fan or a tower fan going in my bathroom almost all day everyday and it reduces how much I have to clean and my towels don't get stinky
Good to see you back Harry! Been looking into getting myself one of these for the bathroom, might have to plan in adding one of these to my workshop when I build it!
Just bought this one today. Seems good deal and great reviews. Generally, for a bit of clay, electronic board and cheap fan, these devices are criminally expensive (often 500 EUR)
@@harryrogers I bough it in PL for 260 EUR (exchanged) but its +-320 EUR in NL or BE. Seems one of the best deals if you want wireless pairing+app control. To be seen...
Good to see you Harry! Have missed your videos and have been worried your health may have been suffering. Very happy to see you look like you are getting along well and appear to be in much better health. Hope to see you again soon!
@@harryrogers I cannot look at a chair, bench or a pair of shoes or socks the same since seeing them made on your channel. Glad you are well. Will look forward to every, even though, less frequent, video.
Happy new year Harry. You inspired me to buy a 1916 singer sewing machine and ive sibce bought a treadle version for my allotment shed. Glad you are enjoying your shed again and I love the red paint job. Best wishes Wendy
I am glad to see you are back Harry. This winter has been extremely rainy in the eastern US. In the area where i live many of us are overwhelmed with water issues. It is best to stay on top of those issues. Best wish to you and Happy New Year to you and your family 😊
Hello Harry, very glad to see you are back. It has been a while and I thought of you a couple of times and would check in to see how you are doing. Pleasantly surprised to see you posted again. I brought your shoemaking book on Amazon and it has been helpful (as well as your videos on shoemaking).
40y ago our Lancashire factory made cooker hood extractors. I did see a design that used aluminium foil that had a concertina pathway folds so that the extract air was kept separate to the incoming air and the foil transferred the heat across; sorry I have no data about how effective it was, but it was cheap to make. Here is ENERGY loss thought I have had for many years, toilet cisterns fill up with cold water and they warm up the water to room temperature and the tank sweats and drips THEN you flush out that warm water SILLY but I suppose it is better to have a faster flush rather than waiting for the tank to fill and then flush.
Great to see you back Harry. I deal with a lot with mechanical ventilation heat recovery systems at work. The company who makes the one you've installed claims to achieve up to 90% efficiency. In my experience even the very expensive commercial systems only claim up to 75% efficiency. But whatever you put in will be worth it regardless of the true efficiency - a regular extractor fan is 0% efficient of course.
The temperatures at which the heat recovery efficiency is rated are important too. We used to deal with a recuperative-type HRV that was rated 80 per cent efficiency between an indoor temp. of 23degC and an outdoor temp of -20degC. But over the actual typical winter temperature range at which it was being used (9am to 4pm: indoor 20degC; outdoor typ. 10degC) the measured heat recovery efficiency was less than 10 per cent.
That's very curious, I've never seen a heat recovery ventilator with only two ports (one indoor and one outdoor). Usually the ones I see have four ports (two indoor and two outdoor) so as to support a continuous, pressure balanced flow. With only two ports, you'd have alternating high and low pressure within the conditioned space, which would cause drafts to leak conditioned air out and pull unconditioned air in, respectively. That would really make it only 50% efficient at best.
Hi Harry! It's always so very good to see you!! 🎉 You've been keeping yourself busy! I love the red you painted your workshop/shed ❤ Did you use marine grade paint? It's super glossy! Thank you for this video! My house was builtin 1930. The bathroom 6'x9' (6' is along north side center of house). The only ventilation is a small double hung window over the tub which runs lengthwise across the north 6' wall. Opening the window in winter is ot/ an option! I didn't know there are apparatus's out there like this heat exchanger. It makes sense! The hood/ventilator inside your bathroom looks minimal. Is your heat exchanger on an outside wall, and if so, did you need to build a box on the outside of your house to accommodate the depth of ventilator like you did on the inside of your shed? Never mind the silly last question.
Hello Harry, a late comment but i am wondering if the unit helped to lower the humidity in your shed? I am thinking of how to solve a similar issue in my shed.. hoping that all is well with you. Thanks
Hello..yes it is so much better and I an very pleased I did this. I do slightly wonder what would have happened if I had simply installed air vents to get air flow...a lot cheaper, but I am very happy with the result.
@@harryrogers thank you very much for letting me know. I will have a think, I thought the passive ventilation from gaps around the door would be enough but... Seemingly not.
I was thinking of you the other day. Realized I haven't seen a video from you in a while and I was hoping you were doing well. I'm glad to see you appear to be in good health and active.
Me too. I was making a belt a couple days ago and was kinda worried about our guy
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments 😊
I don't know how you do it, posting a video right when I had a thought about you and your projects. @@harryrogers

I somehow missed this video when it came out. I'm glad you referenced it in your newest one.
Those devices are a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great seeing you on Harry, all the best for 2024.
Its nice seeing you still kicking around Harry!

Thanks Harry good to see you well and staying busy. That's a great idea always good to keep fresh air about the place.
Thanks Joseph

Love the red color. It's like you work in a giant phone box.
Good to see you again. 😊
So glad to see a new video from you Harry. Hope your health has improved. You look pretty chipper.
Always look forward to your videos, nice work you have done on your shop.

Just bought this one today. Seems good deal and great reviews. Generally, for a bit of clay, electronic board and cheap fan, these devices are criminally expensive (often 500 EUR)

Hi its a small vent cover on the outside, no need for a custom box as it's two thicknesses of brick. I am finding my shed is a lot fresher ...still 🥶
