I was looking for a website where I can estimate what can go on my roof in terms of panels. I found several which use satelite photos but they don't get the roof size very accurate (under-sized). Is there one where I can enter the details like this:

The house is rectangular, 8.2m (in line with the apex) and 6.7m (at right angles to the apex). My roof is a symmetric pitched roof, one side facing 125° from North (i.e. approx SE), and the other facing 305° (i.e. approx NW). The roof has an additional overhang of 0.25m past all walls, making it 0.5m larger in both directions. The roof pitch is about 33°. Interlocking concrete roof tiles (if that matters), 1990 construction using premade A-frame roof trusses.

I live in a UK road where the houses and buildings have no numbers, just names, and it's not a short road either. Sometimes delivery drivers just don't bother to look for the building. I was expecting a DHL delivery last week, and got a "sorry we missed you" message. I checked the CCTV, and at that exact time, the DHL van drove past at top speed, clearly no intention of stopping. EVRi often fail to deliver too on first attempt.

Would it help if I added another line to my address with the GPS coordinates (if so, in what format?) or a what3words (again, what format?) Do the delivery tablets have a way to extract/use those out of the address fields?

I'm not a high volume reviewer compared with some I see here. In my first 6 months I did about 50, and this second six months it dropped to 30 (which included a couple left over from the first 6 months), and there was a long delay reviewing some. This was caused by a family member being ill, and I stopped logging in to the program for a few months while handling that. I was worried this might get me booted out, and when I did log back in, there was a warning that the account would be closed shortly. I quickly started reviewing my backlog, and the warning went, but I didn't have time to order and review anything new, just to catch up with reviews of what I already ordered.

I have managed to maintain a 100% Excellent rating the whole year (a couple of the last ones are still on Pending), which might have been a plus point. No rejected reviews this time - I got one rejected last time with "we're no longer accepting reviews for this item". I only order things I know I can review well, and I am conscientious about doing so in detail, occasionally taking things apart to comment on design/build which would void the warranty if it hadn't been voided by the conditions of the Vine program anyway. I doubt I'll ever make Gold status on numbers, but if they factor in the insightfulness score too, maybe I will at some point.

Anyway, into my second year now still on Silver, and already ordered a couple of things.

What's the name of a solid washer (no hole) which goes in the end of a BSP female pipe cap to seal? This one is 1/4" BSP I think (about 11.5mm diameter).

It's on the bottom of a Franke boiling tap heater, to drain the tank. The soft silicone washer they fitted gave up and started leaking.

If I knew the name, I'd know what to search for.

Failing that, I could just use LS-X on the parallel threads and leave it to set. This isn't anything which is normally opened even when cleaning/descaling.
