Being on site as much as possible is critical, otherwise its all on faith, a faith and trust which needs to be earned. Don't be afraid to state at the outset that you'll be on them like velcro, and tell them loud and clear that you'll only accept the very best of quality and finish. If their top lip starts to quiver at that point, its bye bye. Clearly and firmly set out your expectations at the very outset, before a spanners been turned or a single nails been knocked in.

"All I want to do is do it, big up, big up!" Kevin & Perry soundtrack soon to be back on the iPhone to blast through the speakers. 18 til I die. And of course....

If it has wifi and guests can zap their own content onto it from their portable device then forget about apps and jazz. Digital radio and wifi #1 priority. Put a DAB radio alarm clock in the bedroom too.

I think they're called a Blog

Another attempted piss-taker, clearly. Should have dug down and lived in peace. Tit.

Cool. Remove the cap, ram the bin liners up the pipe nice and snug and then replace the cap.

Need those for my boys room. If the bins more than arms reach away thats where the rubbish lands.

Take the lid off the manhole whilst your doing it and plug the outlet to the sewer with a couple of bin liners folded into a ball / plug . Leave that off to ensure any stench stays outside. Dont do this if anyone's needing to send U571 to a watery grave .

Any idea on RRP?

Excerpt. - Capacity to warm up 15 litres of water from 20oC to 37oC immediately after a shower (if fully charged); - Capacity to warm up 10 litres of water from 20oC to 37oC after 24 hours since the last bath (if fully charged); - Time until full charged: 6 minutes (inlet temperature 55oC and hot water inlet flow rate 7 liters/min); Not exactly mind-blowing figures, especially the one where it requires 6 minutes input at 55oC. The wording is terrible and the statistical info isn't presented very well, so I think we'd need much more clarity before a fair critique could be complied. The vacuum insulated panel construction makes it sound expensive to produce, so cost vs return may be questionable particularly when there is such a short yield ( 15 litres from a fully charged unit ). After a shower, or after a bath ? Bloody confusing is what it is.

Hmmmm. Two boilers in a house with an ACH of 1 or less ?!? . Decide if your going with PV before deciding anything else. It's a complete game changer for the space heating and DHW system design. You could go ASHP > UFH & ASHP > UVC and just leave it at that, but if gas is available I'd say use it. A decent high-flow gas combi will give 2 reasonable showers simultaneously, but they won't be blasting you for sure, but then you have nowhere to store excess PV generation. Sunamps are great for storage of PV / E10 and they're compact too, around 3-4 times smaller than the equivalent cylinder. Capital cost is higher, standing losses considerably lower, but in a passive level dwelling they can be the only wet heating device you need. Weigh up the cost of the gas install, standing charges, then you'll need a buffer tank for combi > UFH, or gas system boiler > thermal store ( TS will buffer the heating and provide DHW in one device ) plus annual servicing for life, life expectancy of the boiler and its service costs over 20 years and you soon have good argument to stay clear of gas unless you ABSOLUTELY need it. ( Cooking on gas is still achievable by using a single 47kG bottle of LPG ). PV or no PV, that needs to be decided first. .

Attic Truss the roof now for 'adaptation' later on. If you cant get a recognisable room you can always have 'very posh', carpeted & heated storage space. I store my 11 year old in mine

No! He'll trip over them when pissed and break them.....

Yea, you have posted them before but I won't get tired of looking at them. Do you know where they came from? Regions etc ?

If the second one is full of teeth I wouldn't want to meet whatever owned them! Thats not a labradoodle The first one is uber cool. If its getting in the way i'll have it.

Is the bath on its own run all the way to the stack, and does the wash basin tee into it or go straight to the stack on a completely separate boss ?

@Bitpipe has some rather interesting baths iirc. BFO, heavy, free standers? Whar traps did you go with in the end ?

?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Can you give us some background and a bit about your interests in new & self build ? Cheers. Also, please read our T&C's for acceptable content and conduct in new membership ( as you've registered with a commercial email address ). Many thanks. Mods.

You may find an option for fan speed. If so, crank it up.

Ok, ill let you off

Getting there then. Have you had it on boost?

Any chance of a pic please ?

Save the ice for the G&T

Turning the heating off was obviously a good place to start!! Find the instructions for your MVHR, google it if you have to. Set it to summer bypass asap, and use boost when its super warm. If you've moved in and its unbearable, hire an air-con unit for the moment because no sleep = lady go crazy. Is this news to you, as in how has the house been performing up to you moving in?
