If the glue down is fitted correctly it will be fine

when i was considering the flooring the first thing my man said was "no way with that size of floor area and a bifold door" it will always buckle and move about only suitable for small areas with no direct sun problems thats what he told me and said if i want to use it --he would not be doing the job

investigate and solve damp problems - do not try to disguise it find the problem and fix it once

disregard this I did not see the part where it say you are using double batons

my men wanted floor temp to be ambient ,hence ufh turned off for good length of time and all measurements away from any direct sunlight checking dif sites it would seem 19c is a common temp recommended for wood flooring to be laid and flooring to be stored in same area before hand so its all same temp and humidity as you have found out dif types of screed need dif values --so you need to know exact type of screed

relative humidity of atmosphere is not what you need to look at for screed moisture value its the actual moisture content of the screed-- 3.5% is the number my men wanted and for that you need a different gauge something like this https://www.protilertools.co.uk/product/tilemaster-hygrometer-moisture-tester?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23919565406&gbraid=0AAAAAD5wbSdybXyhrMCpmQKiYTNK-u56l&gclid=Cj0KCQjwteTUBhD4ARIsAEYjs3rsJPArS8lsGyeZX0CkqgHF3gRqZh60Hh8F21wG3JpJlPKcsu4iK5waAm64EALw_wcB UFH was turned on at a low level for 2 weeks and then off for 48hrs --then they checked the meter doing when floor is wetter means using an adhesive at twice the price --so i waited

grant on a new build news to me ? iwas told no way as its new build in scotland

would not do ihave 45degree bankings --would need to be a tracked remote unit

they don,t hire they out without an operator -- so its £100+ an hour

its not the 60,s they all want silly rate per hour and never break sweat

I used to but sold off bits to pay for the build If i did then it wouldn,t be a problem --they couldn,t climb out of it

talking to a local farmer who had goats --he says no --they will just wander off

I may be wrong but walking about my house this summer in bare feet i think the sun is actually heating the water in the UFH by heating the slab so the whole floor feels same temp and my windows are not that big

fit UFH and if you are so sure that you will only need such a small amount of heat then hit a stick electric boiler -they cost well under £1000 and can give up to 10kw depending on size you pick I,ve got one here i got when we were doing a flat--7kw --but that did not happen so happy to sell you it cheap BNIB

would it be easier to get a handle on it if someone can put number of kW a year for a passiv cert house and a good non passiv house of same size then it would be easy to work out if extra costs are really worth it you can then work out actual costs using a fixed price unit when I have tried to compare other peoples energy bill with mine in the past it always falls down on they run there house colder or hotter than i do or don,t heat all the rooms or don,t have same appliances or use them the same amount so a real comparison is not possible you need fixed temp in the calc in all rooms for it to be meaningful

£100 an hour with operator

remote control is the right term --you walk behind it good distance and control it not sure i would trust an e-bay unless i knew someone that had one when you see the the professional ones are 30-40k price of new digger

maybe a robot tracked flail mower? any one got one

spoke to my digger man - he is getting a price for a suitable fail attachment for my digger we will see then depending on price

not sure it would be safe on a 40degree banking good idea maybe look for cutter attachment for my digger .LOL

Ive been told they just get angry with electric fences and knock them down

I did think of keeping chickens as we have loads of wild garlic --maybe a premium selling garlic flavoured eggs?

yes loads of ragwart about-- was just a thought --so much land and all sloping thistles can be 4 ft high which is not good for me to strim with my bad leg cost of fencing could be prohibitive -- and then there the "garden areas" to fence as well

forgot about that --farm next door was first case

any ideas on how to train goats not to wander off the property I got 6 acres of trees and scrub ,brambles ,nettles etc i know goats will eat anything any one have experience of training goats not just keep on wandering and coming back if called at night other than staking them down or becoming a goat herder
