Thanks for all the best wishes and yes, he's recovering well - has a couple of scars which just add to his handsome good looks - he'd give Daniel Craig a run for his money now! Re the plastering - no - I did the prep and plasterboarded the rooms then we had a local firm in. I think they did a smashing job so will call them in for the next stage when we're ready. Its back to work tomorrow - painting the fence while I prep the bedrooms. He's working mornings only this week to ease him back slowly. Then its full on for next couple of months - we are over a year into this renovation and while initially we said ready to sell by spring17, we are now just hoping to get it sold before Christmas!

I need a bloody man-shed. Bollocks. Time for another one.

haha I'm sure there is a can of Stella in every photo in the Facebook album!

My beer & fridge need a garage...

Your garage needs an armchair and a beer fridge ....

That's the same as us which is why going away makes you forget about it. Wendy's always reminding me that I'm a grumpy old sod and that we are very lucky, which of course we are.

Here's a link to a blog entry that has copies of everything I provided for Building Control that might help: http://www.mayfly.eu/2013/09/part-fifteen-the-site-is-finally-ready/

Um, life was best in black and white.

Nice work. I like the token can of Stella ?

@gravelld The PHPP plus designPH is coming out at €439 from passivehouse.com, though I'm still waiting for the email bill to confirm my order - a cooling off period maybe!?! That's a few bob less than my "consultant" was going to charge, and he hasn't/won't be paid so I'm looking forward to the challenge... With a little bit of trepidation.

Yes to all those things. Worth doing some modelling though. We're used to dealing with moderately cold winters and mostly mild summers in the UK. The sort of climate you're talking about is a huge extreme in the other direction. You might, for example, need to consider how to deal with moisture movement within the structure. The interior will be cooler and lower humidity than the outside. This might mean taking a different approach to vapour control than we'd take in the UK.

Bloody cheek! Sorry, seemed (in?)appropriate. Did you plaster yourself? Looks good.

I bought this set - [HD 1080P] ANNKE 4CH 1080P POE NVR Max Up to 5.0MP Security Camera Systems One 1TB HDD Included, with 4 x 1080P 2.1Megapixels HD Day/Night Vision IP67 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H2RD9QU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_BTB3bXqxkWep2 Quite impressed so far but haven't really got in to the deeper settings to see what it can really do. After just 24 hours I had caught all sorts - the neighbour having a good snoop and pinching a empty dumpy bag, 2 little scallywags having a wander around, and 2 of my wife's friends flashing the cameras as they didn't think they were live hahaha
