ICF feasibility without a Concrete Boom pump
Pocster replied to Mrbehr's topic in Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF)
As dumb as it sounds can you not boom pump over your neighbours house 😁 . -
Just insist ( in writing ) that you are given full installer access once installed . Asking installer to change ToU will be a ball ache . I fiddle with mine a lot - that’s mainly to make it play fair with the PowerWall

An update I was able to let the PW drain down . As expected it went to the grid . I quickly altered SE to ‘ maximise export ‘ . PW then saw it as solar so charged from that . So this is the method I’ll use to let PW take from SE . One issue is if PW is 100% and SE is still ‘ maximise export ‘ then obviously it really does export - which I don’t want . As the weather changes it won’t be too long before I do the final test of both charging from grid . Looking back at a previous post I can see I’ve already tested this 🤣👍

SE have been on about adding TOU to the app for ages but haven’t . Once you get installer access it is easier - but app based would be far simpler

Ubiquiti ( spell check ! 😑 ) mesh hubs are really good . 2 of those in an average size house should easily give you good WiFi coverage throughout .

We were both left it as part of our inheritance!

Funnily enough it’s also my late fathers workbench ! Probably antique.

This is happening!. The plan!. Macerator at WC ( no bitching about that ). Outlet's to about 1 metre high. Then a horizontal run with fall for about 14 metres ( also picking up sink/washer etc. waste ). This then into sump pumping station outside. What I 'improvised' though many years ago was just to deal with rainwater i.e. 2 zoller pumps to deal with rainwater. Question is now how to get a sump in there aswell or 'somehow' that the sump ( possibly a twin pump unit ) deal with rainwater aswell - making the the 2 pumps I have redundant. Suggestions welcome !

Looking online I see some just have a overheat cut out . Presumably therefore they are not adjustable ? Also the price . From 40 quid to 250! I’ll grab some photos Monday before I do anything !
-
Don’t know . Will look Monday . It’s not been adjusted since install ( over 3 yrs ago )

Had one of these ‘trip ‘ a few times now I.e on the actual element not CU . What does that imply ? . Replace it ? . I assume need to drain the UVC ?

Solar power payback takes much longer than you think
Pocster replied to Radian's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
I understand what you’re saying . I didn’t phrase it particularly well . But point taken 👍 -

Pocster replied to Radian's topic in Photovoltaics (PV)
Sure . If you know your time is limited then I’d assume you’d not worry about any ROI time . Only live once . Only 1 planet earth . -
Base of it just slatted timber ?

SWMBO wants something like these . They are rather expensive to buy . But timber seems expensive also - what’s the cheapest suitable timber I could use ?

What counts as a medium or high end finish?
Pocster replied to smart51's topic in New House & Self Build Design
“ high end “ is subjective . A ‘fantastic ‘ kitchen and bathroom with good finishes is important. I notice little things in other houses . Take taps for example ; they can look great - touch them and you can tell they are plastic not steel . Then I assume we have the illusion of expense without the real material . Light switches and sockets are a detail where plain standard white is just as functional as metal / glass ones - but gives a perception of ‘better ness ‘ . The “ over use “ of glass ; glass balustrade/ glass staircase etc. suggests high end I.e higher budget . But equally with some skill / planning you can make moderate costing items appear high end if customised e.g ikea wardrobes . Its a bit of an illusion unless you have buckets of cash . Also it’s relative to the properties value . -

Loves ya @joe90 ! It was all so obvious though ! . Gas is a limited resource . Finding new supplies and extraction can only ever cost more ! . Admittedly the sun is a limited resource and will expire eventually - but I think we’re ok for a bit ! 😁😁😁😁😎😉
