so you need to live in it or put it in wifes name for a year --then any profit will not be liable to CGT

and if we all do that then the grid will not be fit to take the energy we will want to send back in summer -- so the DNO need to upgrade the networks to take it-

again that is assuming the majority can afford to buy new cars -which is not so --so older cars make up most of the pollution and it is probably new car owners that are doing most mileage anyway Me i run an 09 -but its only done 50 k-so economical way to run is just run it longer to offset the high capitol cost of new car

It seems common sense that with modern computer design and manufacturing that it should be easy to do with SIPS or like in germany where they make woodcrete panels (velox) --whole house sides with window holes everything ,crane on to site then just fill with concrete

you could have it added to rates if poor epc, but at sme time planning needs to be bit more friendly on old buildings in ways they allow them to rebuild and replace old with new EG -- man here wanted to replace an old stone farm house with an earth shelterd almost invisible building NO -out of character for area was what palnning ruled --my guess as they are local councillors they were just jealous and want to keep the incomers out the basic presumption is they want you replace like with like

closed cell foam -which will water proof old wall at same time its the same machine as used for open cell icyene -just different type of foam I,m still plotting could be I,ll need to flatten -if so then I,ll be looking for a stone cropper that can work with GRANITE to turn 12" thick bits into -4" bits to clad the new house and then use it to make granite cobbles etc with stuff i don,t use for all the outside paved areas

was a while ago now --but someone bought one for doing 2 houses anybody remember who it was or if they finished with it yet

I bought and electric arrow gun fior doing under the floor to hold up the 2L2 bubble foil + sf40 multi foil toseal off the joistsand keep heat in there against any drafts in crawl space I have a hand one but by the time you have used a box of staples your hand will be dead especially if doing it upside down especially if joists are old + wood has gone hard

anyone local with a digger and a tree shear attachment.?

I dared-- correct me if wrong ,but it looks like a glass wall with a reflective surface on inside which allows solar to come through from outside and heat the "THERMAL MASS" the reflective surface (on the glass) stops it exiting as quick as it came in

could well be right --but if you asking me to work out what I would think was fair 3 men @£300 a day each --insurance for if they break things £300 van mileage etc £70 TOTAL £1270 + abit ==£1500+vat=£1800 you know you should have ASKED for a quote for anything that is quantifiable

thats a non starter then as a commute vehicle in uk weather

yes a city car --cheap and easy to park

and this is the other end of the range in ev cars https://www.uk-car-discount.co.uk/vehicle/70604/renault-twizy-coupe-13kw-expression-6kwh-2dr-auto/technical

thats for sure --that is one of the reasons why the landrover as we know it was killed solid bumpers attached to a solid chassis --no crumple zone and why "roo bars " disappeared on 4 x4 ,s edit _ and why the 2cv was killed --it had no crumple zone --it just all crumpled and squished the driver

connect--not even worth thinking about I am similar situation but my power connection will be close to 30K- even then it don,t makes sense cos i would still need a gen etc and want to live a normnal not hermit life style and i,m getting older If you had a reliable 3kw or more of hydro --then maybe --but you will be replacing batteries every few years -- --so its not a one off spend with no work have pv panels to sell power back if you like --but if you not diy man doubt it will pay back inless then 8-10years

I could to a point could get very messy if they have other life problems ---- not even sure you could write a water tight agreement these days so you could repossess it if it all went wrong in a reasonable time . certainly could not afford to wait 20 years --I might be dead b y then

wouldn,t worry --easy to seal that up in the roof build ,especially if going laid GRP just a 4-6"upstand of GRP round pipe and a hat on it

Is this possible --someone making me offers for one of my ruins, but needs finance

I can honestly say ihave never had a problem swopping dif makes of nuts on diferent make of compression fittings at same size be it 22mm in line srvice valves or angle 22mm -- all seem to be same just never had a reason to find out -- plenty of 3/4bsp to 22mm fiitngs out there if thats what you wanting to do question still stands why do yo need to know --what are you trying to do ?

are you trying to mix bsp +metric? and why do you need to know ?

so tape round all the pipes and extend that down onto the plastic sheeting --having a foam shoulder to sit on will help and you know they are air tight where they penetrate the wall or as @joe90 flex conduit poking through air barrier -filled with foam and then tape to conduit

would it be simpler to use builders foam around all of them to a height which you can trim off where you air tight barrier is going to be --then just tape that to the foam ?

I was wanting to say that LOL
