  1. use battery to convert or high voltage for transmission --then transform down again to 12v use " thats along way for a short cut" to me --just need large cables its for clay traps that are mounted on top of a tower --so you do not have to keep carrying batteries up =down to charge them
  2. more than twice the gap of a 45mm baton --and some use 38mm batons don,t see why it would take any longer at all--but not treated --idon,t like that chalk line the verticals and put straps where you need them
  3. that would be fine --but no mains supply to site --its all batteries
  4. 10.5 is normal acceptable on car systems -ecu,s will work fine to 10v
  5. i came up with a silly size like that ,but another on line calculator said 16mm2
  6. yep they are giving you 2000kwh - if not then they are giving you sod all just checked it is 2000kwh--8000miles they
  7. big broither is watching as usual
  8. wee change of subject and i know you will have answer at hand 12dc --40max load --30m long cable --what size needed its for local clayshooting club
  9. come on --I know that but you could use it up alot quicker than 5.5kw perday --then you pay for anything over your yearly free allowance
  10. He,HE if you ran a micro hydro on the free powerand then sold it back them .LOL
  11. my guess its a separate line which goes to a car charging socket . a lloose lead that connects from that to your ASHP? free heating for all!!
  12. yes no reason why not --but suprised not treated as australia has termites does it not bigger size batons than we use --looks like 2 x1-- maybe want bigger air gap from tiles due to hot temps in summer don,t think it would be cheaper must be big tiles looking at spacing vertically -- but if aus guessing its a tin roof
  13. that would be fine if you could use it for other things as well. if you had 2 ponds you could use that free stuff to do your own pumped storage generation with a small micro hydro unit.LOL HMMMMM thinks +plots just looked at it its 2000kw ayear --so 5.5 kw per day unless other unti prices go crackers on this system --its a no brainer -as no exit cost from scheme
  14. or natural random stone if you really want to make AN IMPRESSION
  15. give it another 10years an HSE will have them building a scaffolding tent around you .LOL
  16. LOL no need in uk till you go over 3 floors. we don,t have earth quakes here the italian spec one is 150mm -so you can have that if you want but that is 20% more concrete cost ,if someone was worried --drop some rebar in it -cheaper than more concrete ?
  17. one big plus is its only 120mm of concrete not 150mm like most others --so cheaper to fill
  18. my only comment would be that they could catch up with him later on CGT-then there will be interest as well and don,t bother fighting --you won,t win against HMRC ,unless you are 200% correct
  19. so 4 bedrooms --you have got or are going to have kids ,which will become teenaagers with cars --where they going put them >you staying there along time you say Me I would build it deeper less wide and give enough space to drive to the back to a garage, that is a real one that you can actually get a car+junk in /man cave ,at the back of garden? which could also be convertible to a granny flat / student at some point , your garage now will be like most, just a junk room cos its too small to get a car in and open the doors to get in and out of it easywith shopping bags ,etc --guessing by the proportions of the door . Is this going to be self build?if so an even better reason to build garage at back FIRST with a bog etc .as site office and lockable tool shed minimum2 1/2p off street parking spaces required- by our local planning you look short on that
  20. can we have a front view you seem to be cramming a very large house on that plot -- no garage or space to come round side of house how many bedrooms are they other houses in drawing real and factual ? Main roof shape looks odd to me and why have sloped roof at rear right up to upper windows,maybe making the rear roof flat and making it a walk on sun area from large upstairs window ,glass barrier balcony etc would add some style ? and in that location will such a size house be over developing the plot -which means it will not get best resale price ,cos of its location how much is the plot --how much budget for build --what is average house price on that street less than that should be your target price to build it
  21. to me looks like you have added extensions to an exsisiting box shaped house --not part of an actual design
  22. thats cos they have permo frost -or big swing in summer/winter temps --so sips gives the insulation to the floor easy Isaw that video a while ago
  23. silly question --has no body used the concrete lego blocks to build a house .LOL works out at£130 sqm --600mm thick wall -then whatever you like for insulation on inside and clad or render outside just stack them with a bit of foam in each layer -- build it in a day ready for roof suprised no one has made a 200mm thick version would 1/3 of the price with specific rebar lintel blocks as a build system - all you would need is a loader started me thinking when looking at lego blocks or gabions for retaining walls --gabions far more expensive
  24. that was common 40 years ago and you had a layer of chips on it to act as something to stop the water evaporating quickly to stop felt overheating -usually -meant to hold up to an inch of water before it drained off my petrol station is like that --and after 20 years it had grown a self seeded roof garden -just had to weed the big things out now and then and now its nearly all sedum --never leaked
