You can get warm white or cool white LED GU10s.

You can likely replace the bulbs with LED equivalents. What are they, GU10s? Take a pic.

Still need to drain a bit off and put the cleaner in...loathe to do it when I've only just got the place semi warm... Looking at other things. It would appear both QE2 controllers were set for gravity since day one. I've slid the switch across to fully pumped like this. So I can now have the HW on independent of the CH! The wiring. Just double checking everything is wired as it should be.

Aren't the Spanish already storing heat in molten salt heated by focused solar? Continues to produce at night too albeit at a lower level.

Mine shaft...isn't that @recoveringacademic's pet name for...

Just liquid screed or resin? Looks like glass! ?

Maybe he'll adopt you?

Depending on your wall / ceiling construction consider whether you have "structure" beneath to later fit grab rails, bath hoists etc. All getting a bit Gulliver's Travels on here...I am so looking forward to being able to stand UNDER the rainfall shower.

Think about the pull down cupboard shelves for your Mum and yourself. Doesn't stop normal people using them!

Good design now will hopefully allow them to stay independent for a long time. Speaking from experience with my own parents (88 & 90). Good lighting enhances visual input which keeps the old grey matter ticking over. Ease of access like walk in showers allow them to attend to their own hygiene needs for longer and may even encourage it. MVHR ventilates the place but subtlety and help keep the dust down when their cleaning skills wane. My Dad was on about getting a mobility scooter but there is laterally no way he could get one in the house.

Döstädning ?

Where would you store the mobility scooter should it come to it? Or is it the case that at that stage there'd no longer be a need to store a car in the garage?

A new house AND Virgin Galactic tickets! You're spoiling them!

Squatters?

+1. Can't see how my wall vcl will ever really "flex". It's sandwiched between fully filled joists and mrpb / Aquapanel screwed over the top. The only cold spot in the walls is through not around the 2G window where it's noticeably colder. My ceiling vcl integrity is somewhat compromised by the multiple penetrations of 4 spots, 2 speakers and a bfo body dryer plus various 20 & 25mm conduits, the wc extract pipe, rainfall head etc. Add to that an occupancy switch etc. All area I've plans to mitigate / improve. With hindsight!

Before I knew better I tried and failed to use double sided DPM tape to join the ceiling vcl in the picture above. Far too thick! So much so that it bowed the ceiling boards at the joint. I ditched it and just used foil tape as elsewhere. Tbh if "air" gets through the foil tape, Sika EBT around where the insulated pb meets the window frame, silicon at the floor and ceiling junctions with the tiles, tile adhesive, CT1 and Wiska gel etc then good luck to it.

Need to be bloody sure those mice can't get back in! Think I'd do the lino first. Doing it yourself?

Got / can you get any pallets?

I MAY have some spare Turbo Clips. Failing that you might want to consider magnetic fixings. I might well have some of those also that I won't use and you're more than welcome to.

Show us a pic of the base / floor.

Finally got hold of the C-Tec guy after we kept missing each other. Discussed my test pieces. CT1 Power Grab & Bond it is then to put the tiles on the Aquaseal membraned, ply deck.

My plinth clips are a bit different and don't clip around a tubular leg. Instead they're a piece of sprung steel, very thin that gets hammered into the top of the board and grips the underside of the base unit. Struggling to find an image. Edit: Found them, called Turbo-clips. I only have the bigger clips shown, not sure what the smaller one is for:

Yep. Though I only paid lip service to the taping. Used more as a draughtproofing thing.

I've even been using the old tile boxes as they're empty as backup under the Antinox.
