Best way to keep your bath warm is finish the (expletive deleted)ing ufh 😎

I’ve found at least 3 people in the tub keeps the water warm .

Iv’e not implemented mine yet - but would keep this as a seperate thing I.e not dependent on HA or another system Depends exactly what you want . Some ip cameras a nvr ( or cloud based recorder ) will be fine for security . If you want cctv to ‘trigger’ other events then some kind of HA . I use a few cameras indoors as it gives almost perfect control over lighting compared to movement sensors . Just a wired cat 5/6 to where you want each tv . Can add dongles / Apple TV etc. as you wish then . Depending on size of your build you may want a mesh . Also your view on how fast you wish WiFi to be . I was originally going to have sensors etc. trigger mvhr . In the end the mvhr functions perfectly without any external input . Set and forget 😁 Depends on budget . I put Polk ceiling speakers in bedrooms and bathrooms . Each fed by a raspberry pi . Totally reliable and considerably cheaper than Sonos The problem is as you’ve pointed out is your time / knowledge against budget . If you can’t be arsed ( or simply don’t want to ) learn raspberry pi stuff for audio as an example then spend on Sonos or similar . 3k on blinds I’d shit a brick at ! 😎 ; I’ll find / make my own solution . Perhaps it’s best to set a budget for everything you want then allocate funds based on how important it is to you and how much work you want . Or just get tons of cash and buy everything you want 😎

Sorry ; mis understood the thread title . Always “ go all the way “ 😉

Something tells me you ain’t gonna get that gift …

That means I get a spanking

Thanks

Shhhhhh , santas coming soon . You (expletive deleted) wits need to be in bed

Accept the truth young Jedi …..

About the same time as @Thorfun

Bin the garages in the self contained dwelling - but probably will need ‘parking’ area for 1 vehicle . Even make the new planning application slightly larger if I were you …

As soon as a read your text I said out loud “ planning for a new build, man !!!! “ The answer is yes ! . You are then going for change of use as your footprint has passed on your planning application. Watch the council squirm and the neighbours bitch . What a fantastic Xmas gift to your self !

Merry Xmas all . If we’re lucky I’ll be almost finished in 3 years .

Not seen that film .

Welcome ! As a Bristolian enjoy the tournament and pleasure that is self build - much like an S & M club actually .

Yeah of course! . Otherwise it will take forever …..

Yeah because he has no (expletive deleted)ing heating 🤣

You are really planning on all this work and finishing it ??

That’s what I said

Slow down man ! Took me 5 years to get planning . 7 yrs into build . ETA is ……

Depends what’s going on in that bedroom ….

Good god man ! . Always use fairy liquid .

Yeah . They ain’t very flexible . A bit of force , a few squawks of pain and they are done .
