39Kg / M2 seems ridiculous to me.

I suppose you could think of this a bit like a loft where you are not expected to have a dance party. ( which I guess is what the 1.5kn is about) can yiu stiffem up the wall a bit to help?

Welcome to THE forum for self builders and like minded people - where are you in Scotland?

They implied that they had it made for them, so probably Chinese, but as it has the Mitsubishi compressor it must be some sort of hybrid, I was wondering if it was any good - talking to them makes it sound very good but some independent views will help me.

Toddled round Build it Live in Kent today and came across Warmflow with their own ASHP unit - it seems that it ha an inverter controlled Mitsubishi compressor at its core, the 6Kw version seems to have enough grunt, can modulate down to 2Kw, for us and unit looks very tidy. Is there any experience of them out there?

Yep you need to trim to size and don't neglect the diagonals as length is one thing and square is the other.

Interesting!

We used them for the pipe no issues.

I take my face with me most places - agree NEC is best but they can all be amusing in the people watching sort of way - we will probably drop by Build IT Kent this weekend - just for the crack!

Looking good.

We have a 3 module option from BT which gives me wifi in the workshop up in the hillside works a dream. It they are wifi homespot 9s they also dupe the domain so common login across them and our in house system.

Sounds like an interesting challenge does it not! I dimly recall the frustration that @Jeremy Harris had with insulating his tank so I would want to avoid it if possible.

Welcome one and all to THE forum for self builders and like minded individuals.

One concern is where to put / encase the buffer so as to ensure it does not ad heat into the building - its all a trade off. It must be possible to use a multi zone UFH as its own buffer in some circumstances - its a control thing. After all, in an ideal world, you don't want it running anywhere other than at a good COP.

Wondered where you were.

where is wingdings in the font drop down and does this not use the ASCII set anyway? Encrypt everything or politely ask for your data not to be transmitted over Huawei kit and see if that gets you anywhere - it won't. HMG are being driven - as they always are, by cost £ now and not cost £ in misery later. Here is a brilliant opportunity for UK PLC to develop a technology lead and we sell out - don't get me started.

You need 3rd party cover as anything happens on your land you coukd liable. There are products for pre build but once you start it would not be sensible to proceed without insurance.

Presumably this means that when you buy the car you sign away your rights to the data, can you not turn it off / take out the nG sim card??

Was shown this today - interesting and a bit OTT, perhaps too 'big building' focused but if you are contemplating a connected home lots here to point up the pitfalls to be avoided. https://www.iotsecurityfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/IoTSF-Smart-Buildings-White-Paper-PDFv2.pdf I was also watching a sensor demonstration on Friday with an 02, CO2, Humidiy and Temperature capability and wondering just what you could make of the data from a room with one of these it it! EG "Hello there are two people in this room exerting themselves rather". Curiously the people demonstrating it had not thought of the implications of logging their data into the cloud!

Welcome to THE Forum for selfbuilders and like minded individuals. We are round the M25 at J4 but building in Whitstable.

There is your answer - sorry, everything 'up the smoke' has a premium because ... well I guess you know. Just bringing a van in CL for a day cost serious money, room rates for overnights are sky high. Took our two children out for brunch on Saturday in CL £180 for four - I nearly collapsed. If you are half handy you could probably do a chunk of it yourself of course and let the pros do the rest.

I downloaded the .dwg auraplus and I got 10.5 mm from Autocad. 1

I would download a section drawing, I think you have Rationel windows, they will show you exactly.

Bit more reading and I find this: "Today we’d like to take the opportunity to kill the idea of the Kitchen Work Triangle as a design tool that is out of date and should be out of our thinking process." [Source accessed 11.01.2020] More work needed this end I fear.

Hmmm. Looking into my comment above I found this ref: "Developed in the early twentieth century, the working triangle—also known as "the kitchen triangle," also known as "the golden triangle"—is a theory that states a kitchen’s three main work areas should form, you guessed it, a triangle. Specifically, the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove. By the mid-twentieth century this theory was widely disseminated and still, miraculously, applies today. According to its tenets, each leg of the triangle formed should be between four and nine feet each, and the sum distance of the triangle should not be less than 13 or more than 26 feet. So neither too far apart or too compact. (In my own kitchen, the segment between the sink and the refrigerator is far shorter than the requisite four feet, thus creating a bottleneck.)" [Source accessed 11.01.202] So our idea of having the fridge, dishwashers - yes 2, sink and hob all on the island just got a knock back.
