  1. NJ side but close to Princeton University for work...personally I think US is a Sh**hole, but a lot of the UK is too...
  2. Daughter lives in Trenton and Electricity is 12c per Kw/h and monthly charge is $6...she has 15Kw of panels which cost $30000 but then claimed a third back from state grant and a third back from Tax as well as capital allowance on full cost on federal tax. Her meter builds credits during over production then uses credits during lean times- so free battery! she gets carbon credits at $900/ year and end of year payment on any outstanding meter credits-which were $1200 last year. She has paid only $60 per year for the benefit of using the grid network. We are mugs in UK....
  3. local builders will probably be happy to fill your holes with rubble for free...Help with Suds as well.
  4. Extremely badly balanced? more extract than incoming so very efficient heat exchange to a smaller volume?
  5. Access by fire tender does not necessarily have to be down driveway... they have a right to cross neighbouring property with hoses so as long as they can get tender within pumping distance via alternative roads. Best way is to speak to local fire officer...they will normally visit and if happy they will write a letter as such for planning.
  6. min 1 in100 and max 1 in 40 slope is there to save you having turds sat in your pipe regardless of type of pipe
  7. planning states 5m from a boundary unless mounted to property
  8. The site plan is not necessarily the final boundary position. The plan is an architects layout of site for planning permission and to show correct spacing of properties- not legal boundaries. The final boundary position would be created when the builder transfers ownership to the buyer. If the neighbours boundary is along his gable wall and retaining wall as you say and he appears to have only realised then his issue should be taken up with the builder and his conveyancer, although I doubt he has any legal redress to have the boundary moved only a claim for possible compensation from them. Where does your boundary line run on your deeds? If the land between your fence and his current legal boundary is 'no mans land' I would remove your fence and claim the land before he does. Be aware boundary disputes get very dirty and expensive but he would have to initiate a legal claim against you.
  9. I used 220mm eps full fill which gave me a wall u value of 0.135 at a third of the cost of kingspan boards. There is a white paper which Kingspan agree with that states that due to +/- 5mm dimension of blocks creates a gap behind the board that reduces insulation value by 10-15%, it went on to state a 15-25mm gap caused by poor construction from cement snots would be a reduction of up to 40%.
  10. is dpc at floor level? if so he could possibly overhang the inside or outside wall block 10mm all round (or 5mm on each) to gain back your cavity size.
  11. Just filling in VAT form...which plans do they require? planning or building control?
  12. Im not sure the council planning have written that condition correctly. Removal of PD rights is usually very specific as to which part of the Town and country planning GPDO to which it is referring. A appeal inspector would soon remove a condition that is in appropriate. Regarding the reduction of house value...it is what it is. If you want it then buy it but do not expect the seller to reduce it because of PD issue.
  13. https://orlitech.co.uk Christopher.Hirst@orlimex.co.uk No BBA cert...That's why they cost so much from TEPLO. My structural engineer jus checked spec and signed them off.
  14. I used 6mm sand coated basalt from Orlimex UK Limited. they supplied in 2.5m lengths then just cut them to length and install an o ring in the middle as a drip. They costed out at 22p each.
  15. Not that article.... similar but obviously bastardized after reading the noaa.
