Odd that this thread should pop up, as I need to sort oak cills for installation in my clients build in the next couple of months. @Patrick chunky is good Looks really nice. Yup. One-stop shopping here !

Current clients have done the same thing, in various guises, and looks really smart. They got varnished this week and the grain looks really different, almost 3D when the sun shines across it, with huge depth to the grain. A huge amount of time / labour, and materials costs I looked into for another job were eye-watering, but what the heart wants, it gets . Some may only get to self-build once, so things like this separate their build from the one down the road by a mile IMHO.

Plus, you can't afford me after buying all these expensive batteries.

The "kind" of "benefits" at your house would make me choose walking mate!! 🤣

It'll be of greater interest to those of a retired / work-from-home discipline. And even more so to the Octopus Agile hawks. Will come into it's own for a 2 EV house.

Not allowed, as it provokes "benefit in kind" taxation.

I'm on site at Melton Mowbrey and Lutterworth ATM. If you can wait until 2024 we may have a chance lol. The self-build world has exploded. Not enough hours in the day atm!!

I cut into the green AT plywood and inserted pieces of 5"x2" where the TV bracket needed the most strength. I then put the off-cuts back in, screwed them to the timbers, and AT taped everything back up. That's an opening that is to take a 65" TV with a 6mm shadow gap all around, when the TV is pushed in flush to the wall ( after cabling up ). Should look the Dachshunds danglies when done. Should sound awesome too. Ignore the bunch of white cables, they're for the various cinema / living / dining / kitchen and landscape lighting, controlled via Quinetic WiFi + RF receivers which are to be hidden up inside the TV wall ( so I can access them for service / replacement etc ). Seemed a good place to put them as the TV can be pulled in / out with ease on that lovely German bracket

Nice.

Wall stud framed and TV bracket mounted. Lower studs were cut and altered to fit the sub box hidden enclosures. And rear wall was cut and recessed to allow flush fitting speakers in the TF of the house. Left and right sub boxes installed. Nice. The two sub boxes are where the two locator holes are. Centre in between those, and FL and FR are either side of TV recess. Atmos in the ceilings and away we go. This is for my current clients MBC TF PH build and we’re doing turnkey, so included a cinema room. Because why wouldn’t you if you could? 👍👌😎.

Boring!! Where's the fun in that? If the TV changes then it's same size one-off-one-on, simples. A media wall is a great place to lose the front / FL / FR / soundbar etc and look 'cool'. We like cool. A TV on a cabinet is what I expect to see when visiting an elderly relative.

100%. Defo don't go outside. That'll cause all sorts of problems.

What is V2L in EVs? V2L is the most basic application of bidirectional charging. It does not require a bidirectional charger. Instead, a V2L adapter is plugged into your type 2 charging port which allows the car to operate as a portable battery pack with a standard 120/240V power supply.19 Nov 2022 Yup, but it's a completely different plug, socket and charger ( for V2G vs V2L ).

The batteries I linked are fully balanced, whereas the cheap Pylontech units aren't. The above is what happens when one cell decides to feel neglected.

I had considered this, but I've decided to go for something recognised ( with the off-grid community ) and just stick with that.

This needs a remedy and then a repair? Two bits of board flapping about on that corner is terminally ill AFAIC.

I would not like to be tasked with sticking sheets of render board to EPS! Does PW not have the embedded spines at 400 o/c like Nudura has eg for reliable mechanical fixing?

Behind the scenes in the solar industry, this is said to be as close as 3 years from now, possibly 1 for one certain manufacturer. We're advising people to hold off installing EV chargers if they can, even if it means missing out on zero VAT now.

I had you marked as an M&S boy.

You can't drive your batteries to chuffing Sainsbury's though !?! Roll on V2G!!! That will end this madness.

Actually, just zoomed in. The TMV goes to 60oC so as this is the attic, and heat rises, the TMV could probably stay in for a trial run ( with it fully open ).

Nope, you'd just remove the TMV from the manifold so it gets 'full-range' heat from the boiler flow.

That'll be for another day then....

NEIN!!

But you have to factor in the replacement cost when the cells die. Sorry to poop on the maths, but the above is an admirable achievement. Give the costs to @SteamyTea as he loves to work this kind of thing out. Then we can find the true cost per killerwhale hour ( KwWh or something )
