Being left alone, love it. But, seriously, im really not that worried about when, inevitably, the day arrives niether of us cant drive. Thats what taxis are for. Theres no buses here, nor ever will be, because its utterly illogical to do so. The nearest town (ok, britains smallest town) is 4 miles away, so not going to break the bank. Well assuming you dont want to go out everyday. Ive recently done a 10 day stint without ever leaving the propery. Didnt even realise at the time. A quote i heard somewhere was building a home and a life you dont need to escape from. Trying hard on that front.

They do. Because it keeps them in a job. Whole swathes of government are employed just to keep inventing rules. The difficulty (and cost of course) is what ultimately brought my self build dream to a juddering halt. Hats of to those who fight there way through it all.

Good stuff. Like that.

Would be good to know. Please report back. Sadly, it sounds like the remedials involved chemical injection to prevent damp. Which it wont.

Ok, but still no DPC? Im not there, but i bet that wall is wet internally.. Now its trapped under the gypsum. Drill a hole into the masonary above the skirting board. I bet what comes out isnt a nice dry dust.

You will find they are used extensively in mezzanine floors.

Good work, but more interested in the camper. Did that come from NSR Leisure? I see you have been sensible to and not fitted it to a double cab. Curious as i just bought one too. Nowhere near as posh as yours though. On the upside i dont need to build a cover for it as there one already there behind it.

Im guessing old house, solid wall no DPC? Dont like to deliver bad news but damp proof injection is snake oil. It doesnt work and never will. Im guessing this wall was damp originally?

Maybe you misunderstood my suggestion? You simply tick different boxes. Job done. No one is ever going to check. Find the right one, they wont even visit the house.

My simple plan is an aircon unit in the main bedroom. Thats it. Downstairs living room, being 170 years old with 2 ft thick stone walls, tends not to be a problem anyway Cooling a whole house is not a cheap undertaking.

Reasoning with people wedded to an ideology is indeed pointless.

That not going to be very accurate though is it. I know peopl who run their house at 15c throughut winter. I know others at 22. The difference in energy comsumption if its a poor house will be big. And then some will have log burners which they use to boost temps, which will often be run "for free". And of course, you can lie. Easily. And boost your epc. Problem ultimately is, whatever system they use is trying to get a semi accurate answer, when the inputs are a bunch of unknowables. Frankly, without an air leakage test, its all rather pointless.

Next time, use an assesor that asks you what outcome you want on the report. Problem solved!

First ive heard of it. £1 a kWh? Why isnt everone with batteries doing it?

But largely useless to me. Plus unaffordable. My wife might get one if it ever makes economic sense. Me, no. I enjoy driving. But not in an EV.
