Ideally looking into their gardens.....

Yours is a lot bigger than mine. Bean eating the dwarf ones here in the pots. The runners in the bed are just a couple of inches long at best but lots of them. The potted runners are lagging!

That looks like a mission...

How about building a large timber pergola. Sheet the roof with polycarb sheets and sides for now with tarps. Later on, revert to a pergola. Though the price of timber.... 😬

Had a 3x9m gazebo here for a while, used for kids parties in the summer etc. Used it for a bit as an outside workshop making fence panels but the wind destroyed it one night.

As has been mentioned before 😂 It was my first go at a bathroom / tiling. 10mm out, still bugs me. At least my grout's not pi$$ yellow!

Bernstein NT2038. Good luck getting one though. Got mine, delivered from them and next day but pre Brexit, for £130. Wish I'd bought two more as I've the Geberit frames to fit 🙁 https://bernstein-badshop.com/toilets-00000000000000000000000000000691/wall-mounted-wc/a-3283

Sadly then you might need to buy another roll of tape. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aquaseal-Waterproof-Tanking-Tape-meter/dp/B01MSELU13/ref=asc_df_B01MSELU13/? Don't scrimp anywhere with this.

Tbh your link too puts the load on the "nibs" of the post. If was doing it I'd make them out of stainless sheet, folded in a U, that goes right round the post and clamp rather than drill anything. Maybe with a bit of rubber to stop "slip". Closest I could find ready made was these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GAH-Alberts-Anchor-Hot-Dip-Galvanised-217631/dp/B0029MCV22/ref=asc_df_B0029MCV22/? I can't tell though whether they are the right size!

Maybe use the pre routed chipboard flooring panels? It will add height to your floor and you may need to trim door heights etc. Have you done any calcs to ensure that just having UFH will give enough heat? Something like this, other brands available: Overlay-Kit-Installation.pdf

Yeah, she's made up! I should hasten to add this was just after I'd fitted it and from memory she was moaning I'd "got mastic all over it" or some other imaginary transgression.

A good start. Found the manual online for the RESOL Deltasol BS/3 controller. Skimming it at the moment but interesting that it can seemingly be set to divert excess to the CH. Exactly what I was envisioning. 48005410_DeltaSol_BS3.monus.pdf

Great stuff, my go to that.

Tank the lot. As in the floor and walls all the way up to the ceiling I would. I think most of the tapes are specifically designed to stick at the junction of walls/floor and different mediums. I used Aquaseal tape and stuck it at corners between concrete and Aqua Panel, concrete and mrpb, marine ply etc. Like sh!t to a blanket.

Cheaper than the gym! 😂

When you came down you went through the "stairs" room to get into the new downstairs bathroom (and kindly commented I think that it was like going into a different house 😂). The floor of the stairs room has to come up, be insulated underneath etc. I have wondered at the merits of digging down and excavating a say 1500mm cube of dirt. (It's only digging). Then lining with pir and dropping an IBC tank in as a hot water storage tank.

At the moment the HWC sits in the eaves just below that tiled cheek of the dormer. Ostensibly the eaves are uninsulated and outside the scant thermal envelope of the dormer.

That was the plan but guessing there'll be times I'll have a huge excess of hot water so thinking a storage tank too.

Hoping I might get the original manuals in the next shipment of parts.

Like that cream you use; R-Sreeleef"

...continuing on from the above comment... I've an old hot water cylinder here. Acquired when someone upgraded to a combi, it seemed rude not to. Looks in good nick. 1" green insulation. It measures 1000mm overall height and is nom 450mm diameter. I make this circa 165L. Is this any use in my cobbled together solar thermal system, 3 panels and the above pump gear? I may have asked this before...it was so long ago...
