I’m still confused why mcs would be required if adding to an existing system . Whats to stop me adding another pv panel now ?

Might ‘clad’ my house in pv panels

They strong ? . I mean football hits it 🙄

So can I get them simply added effectively to my roof pv ? . I don’t need to change inverter or anything - so do I need mcs accreditation install ? I.e my export limit hasn’t changed

A fence - which on your own property can be made of anything ?? . Under 6ft for building regs 😊 . Would a sparky happily wire these to grid connected inverter ? ( not mcs 😊😊 )

I thought there was some regs issue on these ? I.e feeding straight into the inverter like roof pv . Am I wrong ? . Just saw this on fb and got my interest !

Or visit my house to really put you off !

I know you blue boys will feel left out , so …

😂 I realised before I began some of the issues I would face . So I made it - it takes as long as it takes and costs as much as it costs . So by not setting hard limits I could just potter along . Would I do it again ? . Yes and no . I’d gladly get another house built but I wouldn’t build it . More than capable of being a project manager and shouting at everyone now . So my advice would be remove stress points . If budgets tight it will be an issue . If you have a self build mortgage it will be an issue . If you have to employ trades it will be an issue . Anything you can mitigate now is one less problem later . Clearly depends on individual circumstances. But assume the worst and hope for the best !

I started 11 yrs ago - I class that as recent 😊

It’s at this point I usually say “ leak now you bast ! “ - but I’ve learnt my lesson …

You stupid enough to build an underground house also ? 😊

You are correct ! What I have is surround sound facing sofa . But if you’re in the kitchen I.e not facing the speakers I have an issue . So in the lounge I also have a stereo pair facing the kitchen . So lounge music / film use the surround speakers . In the kitchen want music use the other stereo pair facing. I have other seating ( not in the photo ) where depending on where you sit the surround would be wrong . Tough . Master listening position is where I sit 😊 I see in your final drawing you invited me over !!!

I’m not sure what you’re asking because I have single speakers that act exactly as a stereo pair . Which I think is what you’re suggesting - but you want to spilt that - so you can ‘ emulate ‘ surround sound ? Just do 4 😊 - be ok

Everything crossed again 👍

Done . Be interesting to see what happens . I’ve deliberately took the kerb edging out so water can run off but also so I could get right under that corner

Dug right out under that corner

Dug out the end . Got my nice concrete / bitumen slab . ground to right of quoin seems dry even as I dig down . Ground in front of quoin damp - so suggests waters still getting in . Going to tidy this up then concrete in the lot

Yes . I was wondering that . When it pisses down decking will direct water right at the glazing . Then pour down just before it

I still don’t get it . It’s pissed down for weeks everything was swimming in water zero leak from this front part . (expletive deleted)s me off

Well the upstands leak everywhere 😂 . But that leak is highest point . Tempted to just (expletive deleted) expanding foam all in there

It’s the front I don’t get . Blocks not down had weeks of torrential rain . Zero leak . Put blocks back it leaks ! . What’s changed ? I’ve raised the level infront that wall a few mm ….

Brings a tear / tear to my hole

It does - I was looking at that . But f me - it’s hard too see how it gets in from that . More annoyed at the “ big leak “ fix . I’m an atheist but gods a (expletive deleted)
