Hi A company is loking to put windturbines about 2KM away from my property and has started to draw up a contract with me. One of the statments they are asking for me to agree to is the following Non-interference -The Householders will acknowledge and agree that they are financially involved in the Energy Project for the purposes of the ETSU Noise Guidance. Not sure what it means can anyone help? thanks

Good point, will have a look at the post

It will not let me turn it off unless I go in to factory settings and then can disable it. If I disable it what about legionnaires.

I am putting my hearth in and to is 1800mm x 600mm x 20mm it is raise of the ground by 45mm so there is a space below it. The company that supplied it have stated that I need to bed it on cement but I thought it would be strong enough with out doing this and just setting it in. There is a support underneath where the pink line is in pic

so should I switch it off then?

Hi I notice that my heat pump has Electric (Fast) Heating turned on. The instruction manually is not clear it just stats turn on if needed. Should it be off or on? Thanks

Hi I never got this resolved and have had no insurance for nearly a year now

Hi trying to decide on the right size of hearth from the wall for opening of 760 mm, I understand what building regulations say this is more what looks right. I have drawn a hearth on the floor which is 1400mm x 450mm and one at 1400mm x 500mm but not sure about it. What has othere people went for as i see some hearth advertised at 600mm deep. Also what have you used for the hearth I need somthing robust as concenrned people will drag things accross it even if they are told not to.

Hi Is there a standard width for a box end construction was going to go for about 250mm to 290 mm not sure what will look right thanks

Do you not think you will notice it if a good quility underlay and carpet was fitted?

I should of relised that this was going to be an issue as when we plasterboarded down stairs we had to pack the joist out. So the floor in the bedroom dops by 10mm and the entrance not sure if I can use a thin underlay in the coridor and a thick one in the bedroom to resolve the issue. if I wanted to change the hight of the floor it is a lot of work.

Contacted both companies and they will not cover without completion certificate

Hi My self build insurance lapsed and now they are refusing to insure me due to the stage I am at and living in the property. I am struggling to find someone to insure the building due to not have a completion cert and house signed off Does anyone know who would insure me?

So that will be fine as the roof according to the span guids can take 200 kg/m2

Horrible stuff. The roof joist are 1800 mm long 145 depth x 47 and at 450 centres looking at the span tables it can take 2.8 KN per square metre. That is about 200 KG per square metre
