    I agree, my response was to the idea that a genset would require replacement every 15 years. Paul only runs his every so often and it’s decades old. The only thing a normal user would need is a service every so often, and with a deisel what is there to service?

    Might be worth reading about Paul’s backup generator, it’s decades old and works just fine. No need to replace it every 15 years? https://lifeattheendoftheroad.wordpress.com/category/listers/

    Ask her what she'd like to spend the £10k difference on, maybe a nice holiday, nicer fixtures and fittings! I know what mine would say!

    I wonder how the trials are going? I’ve just signed up as a Bulb customer.

    At least your job only took 40minutes. Debbie and I have spent 4 days so far punching 20,000 holes in our roof slates, only another 5,000 holes to go! Mind numbingly boring,

    @lizzie Nice cladding, what make and colour is it? Also do you have more photos showing a whole wall of cladding? I'm interested in the trim detail you have at ground level, what’s it covering up, what’s the trim made of ?

    In our previous house ours was in the back of the kitchen sink cupboard. To maximise space I mounted the manifold on the wall before fitting the cupboard, I removed the backboard from the cupboard before fittng.

    What’s 4m down? If it’s all soil, then xcavation should be straightforward, if it’s rock, it could become costly. What you going to do with the excavated material? The best is to retain it on site. If you have to get it removed it’ll be costly

    A friend had a mini digger stolen, it was fitted with a tracker, which indicated it was in an empty industrial unit, which was surrounded by caravans and trucks belonging to “travelling Folk”. He called the Police, they did very little, so he phoned around all his building trades contacts and within an hour the place was rammed with builders. after some agro the Police came back and ‘negotiated’ the return of the mini digger and it’s trailer. Sometimes direct action is the only way. All’s well that ends well!

    Maybe that’s the problem, we also wanted a land line as part of the deal .

    Sorry, yes you’re right it’s not unbundled. When I check with Sam says the only provider is BT Wholsale. We tried a few other broadband suppliers but our exchange is not on their list.

    We’re in the process of changing various utility providers and BT are on the list due to their high charges. I now find that our exchange is “unbundled” and BT are the sole provider of broadband. Is there any way round this?

    We need more example of good lighting, as being a bloke I struggle with lighting design!

    So if the video is correct the condensing surface is on the back side of the OSB sheathing. If so, the OSB and the breathable Membrane should allow the passage of any moisture to the outside.

    The analysis suggests it’s in the middle of the insulation .?

    I’ve been looking at the wall construction of my timber frame and the dew point analysis. I’ve realised I just don’t understand what’s going on and where the dew point should be and why? Could someone explain why it’s important and how to interpret the results?

    We’re having a slate hipped roof and the roofer has suggested we use lead soakers, however, looking online, most roofing stores list lead alternative soakers made of such things as aluminium, EDPM and lead alternives? Has anyone used them and is so which ones are best?

    Look at other similar planning application that required an ecological assessment, see what others provided.

    Make sure you’ve got a valid argument to make to the panning officer as to why its not being required
  23. Triassic
    Has the Planning Officer actually asked you to do this, or is it one of the consultees making a comment? Do nothing until your clear if this is a planning requirement. Maybe start by doing some further checking. There is guidance on what the report should contain. https://cieem.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Ecological-Report-Writing-Dec2017.pdf

    Are prices for kit falling, what with the end of the feed in tariff? My local supplier has stopped stocking PV kit as he says the future is too uncertain. Just looked at a Wagner quote for 4kw all black panel system to fit in a slate roof, sent to me in October, their price was £4633.
