LPG in 47 Kg bottles is VERY expensive, Just filled 2 of mine (used for the gas hob so each one lasts nearly 2 years, so long you forget to check until BOTH have run out. oops) and that was £150. I would not be using it for hot water or space heating. We only use it for coking because nothing beats a gas hob. An electric boiler on E10 actually makes sense, you can pretty well heat a well insulated house real time just by heating in the off peak times with no need to use any peak rate electricity for heating. If you are going to be moving 47Kg bottles about, get a gas bottle trolley. I still favour heating the DHW tank to about 45 degrees with the ashp and using an in line modulating instant water heater to raise it to final temperature if there has been insufficient solar pv to do so already with the immersion heater.

As a nod to getting older with my ongoing bathroom saga (or should that be Saga...geddit?) I've: - Lowered the floor which was 60mm higher than the rest of the house. - Partially sunk the spa bath (1800x800) so the floor of the bath is level with the rest of the room. - Angled the bath sides in so when you stand next to it you're in effect a bit "closer". - Made provision for a wet room corner so I can be wheeled in straight from the doorway! By the time I finish it I'll need all these features!

Thanks for all those comments. The bathroom downstairs can only just fit in a 1500 bath and even that means moving the wall out by 10cm. When we went to take out the bath, we discovered it had been recessed into the outside wall by couple of inches. We do not plan on doing that again. I shall let you know what we decide to do.

After working all day in the cold there is nothing better than standing under a red hot shower for ages. If I wanted a timed shower i will go to the local swimming pool.
