    +1. I tend to agree, if it was poo smell others would smell it too, yes you are unfortunate to have a hypersensitive nose but like Nick I think plasterboard over damp walls and tiled is not the best. More ventilation and a little heat might help.

    Looks good to me, I have often thought about making one of these (I used to have a land rover heater matrix but threw it away ?). I was going to use DHW from the tank as this is close to the MVHR and my build is finished so don’t want to alter things too much. Will be interested in your results when up and running.?

    Why not cut the slate to extend over the hip rafter/batten a little?

    I had a some JK and treated it with Gallup 360 over several seasons to good effect, still get a small amount in the spring but mostly gone now.

    I had no plans for a dryer in our new built, MVHR in the laundry/cloakroom or line in the conservatory (when it’s raining).

    I only used face book to sell stuff or buy locally, can’t be bothered with all the other shit tho ?

    Mine is in the loft but hung from the roof trusses, on rubber mounts so no noise is transmitted through the bedroom ceilings. Very quiet.

    If a house is well insulated and no draughts with warm(er) incoming fresh air (mvhr) then yes as @Gone West says the whole structure is the same temperature.

    Welcome, at least your weather will be very different from ours?, I guess overheating may be more of an issue, at least insulation works both ways and PV fir you will deliver more (unless I am completely wrong).

    Well done mate, really glad fir you ???, just need to finish it now (another 7 years? ?).

    However, I think 8% losses through the floor is minimal and in my case (as I have UFH) worth the small cost to not have (what I consider) ugly radiators or “indoor units”. My heating costs are so low that 8% of very little is very very little ?‍♂️. My heating is yet to come on yet this year. I do however have a new well insulated house and existing housing stock is not this fortunate so I think there is a market fir the A2A units.

    Should be fairly quick, currently selling stuff on marketplace, good fir local selling.

    I opted for double glazing with coatings that was very near triple glazing levels as I don’t like heavy bulky window frames., also I used ordinary wall ties.

    My bricklayers used some lime in the mix to whiten it a bit to look like lime pointing!

    Why do you want to hide that lovely big stone?, I wouldn’t , if you render it you are open to cracking, frost pushing it off (I don’t like render), natural stone like the rest of your cottage would look far better IMO. more in keeping with the rest of it ?

    The 150mm thing is more about being below the DPC, to stop rain bounce wetting the wall above the DPC.C

    Does that mean I need an MOT for my old ride on lawnmower (with various mods because bits didn’t work ?)
  18. joe90
    Looks to be an office (many sockets, telephone, co ax) but what is that thing in the corner???
  19. joe90
    My Worktops came as 616mm over 585mm cabinets also 900mm worktops available as standard fir most. 20mm thick upstands are popular nowadays so gives more flexibility on worktop placement.
  20. joe90
    I would agree, however this is dependant on the depth of the worktop and the overhang at the front you require (looks right).
  21. joe90
    I didn’t think so and glad I didn’t, all doors on the same plane as with kickboard.
  22. joe90
    Not sure what you mean ?‍♂️ Hinges allow doors to open within end panels usually. Mine were the depth of the cupboards, you may have to trim to fit. Here is mine. (Ignore where my puppy chewed the new skirting ?)
  23. joe90
    You won’t be underpinning it (which involves supporting the whole corner stone, that stone will be huge going under most if not all the wall, you will be just creating a little stone wall on its outer edge to stop soil erosion (plus look good) ?

    As they are relatively cheap I bought myself a new (quality) saw fir every job involving timber, last jobs saw got used fir lending out, one before that got used fir plasterboard!. No one was allowed to touch my latest sawn (or my chisels).
  25. joe90
    Depends on the quality I find, I have had cheap ones in the past that “fail “ but now have good quality ones and the difference is chalk and cheese. You get what you pay for. I think it comes down more to experience, most here are “hands on” with years of practice. Frankly even good tools in inexperienced hands will be difficult to handle, practice, practice.
