Kitchen has been going in today. Please with it so far bar a few things. Main issue is utility room. We have high ceilings so it was verbally agreed on two occasions (and i think he had written it on his spec sheet, but I never got a copy, nor signed a copy) that we would have 900mm wall units as opposed to standard 720mm. They installed 720mm. Theres an awfully large gap between unit top and ceiling, and I think it looks a bit daft. 2 wall units and 5 full length units affected. Secondly, we have a navy island, as photographed. 3 doors on so far and paint chips (nothing major, but noticable) on edges of all (assume from transporting/fitting) Thirdly, wrong corner unit installed, but I have emailing confirming what I want so he will have to change it. What would your expectations be regarding the island and the utility units?

Or the asbestos fibres that hold is together so firmly

Mmmmm. Try 'hardcore' and do that NO DON'T Imagine the challenge in my job a few years ago teaching undergraduate students how to use logical operators while searching the Internet. Almost all female. Nightmare. I used to dread teaching that session.

Interesting thread as I will face the same issue as I also intend to use MBC and Internorm Lift and Slide. what interests me is it seems to suggest that what has been written in the two posts above seems to imply that MBC have said "what do you want" where their sales pitch is very much "we work with your chosen window supplier"? Surely if they're building as many houses as they claim and as they also claim regularly work with Internorm they must have provided this detail before?

I have just been through this and have flush internorm lift and slide as well as front and back door. Internorm will want you to support as much of the aluminium extrusion at the base as possible (well actually all of it). I have attached my sections that everyone eventually seemed pretty happy with. The issue is actually managing to shutter the slab accurately on site to get a level step down detail. My installers from Ecohause were not only expensive, but also terrible, but after several attempts managed what seems to be ok. When you say approved detail, who do you want it approved by? No-one is going to sign on a dotted line with anything other than full support to the slider or door base, but obviously that will be a massive thermal bridge. window gf06 section.pdf sliding door section.pdf

You just run ducting (and a draw string(s) if I were you) from the manifold stopping adjacent to where your new room will / may be. This is what I'm doing.....Nick said.....he is a God! 1&2 - Wait for Nick!

No need for us to shoot at you, Ferdinand. You are running away too fast. Wise.

I think we concluded the best way to recover heat from a bath, was leave the water in the bath until cold, then the heat will be ion the fabric of the building and only cold water going down the drain.

Just to close this issue had my first load delivered today, 4" down, got a nice levelled site entrance now which should pay dividends for all future deliveries. Next load coming tomorrow morning.
