]]> Comment on Water of Lieth Walkway Closure for one day? Nope – 10 weeks by Smithy http://www.scotlandtraffic.com/2008/03/03/water-of-lieth-walkway-closure-for-one-day-nope-10-weeks/comment-page-1/#comment-23 Smithy Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:28:50 +0000 http://www.scotlandtraffic.com/2008/03/03/water-of-lieth-walkway-closure-for-one-day-nope-10-weeks/#comment-23 The sign said it was closed for one day - and that day was in the past. I had no reason to read the other signs. The diversion sign was also lying on the ground after being snapped off. At that point I had no idea the bridge was being refurbished. How could I know? The bridge was damaged by a tree some years ago, which was finally fixed last summer. I now know that when the bridge was fixed they discovered structural issues with it. The walkway is used by many people less able than me. The path is steep - much more so that any other bit of the entire path. I pointed out the sign being worng to the council a number of times since but they deny all knowledge of the work - even though it's being done by their own bridges department. Misleading signs are one thing I believe in getting fixed. The sign said it was closed for one day – and that day was in the past. I had no reason to read the other signs.

It is having a new deck put on it - the whole works. The bridge is over 100 years old and has done well to get this far. Instead of complaining about the 2 steep hills (Blinkbonny Road?? - I don't THINK so!!) why don't you just be patient and be grateful that we have such a FANTASTIC facility as the Water of Leith path and look forward to the bridge being reopened? So what if the sign is misleading - if you had stopped to read the map, you would have been able to see that the path will be closed for about 10 weeks and then you wouldn't have your long walk of all of 1/2 mile.

i work hard for my £…

dont get me wrong it would be nice if things had been done properly and i do think the area will take off in years to come , like docklands did , loads of empty flat but look at them now .once the area has shops and some kinda life ….

i dont think it too much to ask for what we paid for quality wise that my only gripe about it .

id like to see the block your talking about . where is it exactly ????

]]> Comment on Tricks to Keep Your House Cool this Summer by Natural air conditioning http://www.scotlandtraffic.com/2007/06/26/tricks-to-keep-your-house-cool-this-summer/comment-page-1/#comment-5 Natural air conditioning Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:52:14 +0000 http://www.scotlandtraffic.com/2007/06/26/tricks-to-keep-your-house-cool-this-summer/#comment-5 Not sure about home construction in the UK, but if you're lucky enough to have a home with central air and a basement, there is a modification you can make to pull the cold basement air upstairs. I had this done to my furnace, called Powerzoning, that effectively adds a separate return air duct. When the furnace fan runs, it pulls in the cold air from my basement and mixes that with the air from the return duct upstairs. This evens out the temperatures in my home, and winds up with my AC running less since the home is keeping cool naturally. More information on how it works is on their website <a href="http://www.powerzoning.com" rel="nofollow">www.powerzoning.com</a>.
