Don't be so Goofy

This just the metal stud I use for walling ? Was going to use aerogel for insulating

Little with lots of useless attachments?

My original SAP is futile anyway . Has a pellet boiler in it ?

And of course you NEED this forum !

There’s an awful lot you can do when you have none of the above ?

With zero knowledge and zero skill I have almost single handily built an entire mainly underground house . So that tells you everything. You can do it all . I estimate in Labour savings ; I’ve saved maybe 500k ( if I had to employ to build today ) . Taken 7 years - not finished it … You have money then get it built . You have time and tenacity- then you build it . You have no money and no time , you sell the plot .

Too big for me. Would hurt my back. The other 3 all at once - be ok though.

And some glazing yes?. Perhaps I can watch your pair grow also?

What are you *really* ? F me - to get an F !!

What's a builders band? is it like LittleMix? ( I love them, though not the fat one )

But ; of course I can't complain as my RHI payment will be more. But it shows what a mess of dis-functional nonsense it is. I'm kind of happy getting a 'D' and kind of annoyed - if you know what I mean.

I intend to keep them; even with suspend ceiling going in. Took me many years to grow those babies.

I needed an EPC for my MCS installed air source heat pump. As we all know the worse the rating the better my payment - which quite frankly is ridiculous . Anyway he rated my new build as D. Reasons for 'down grading it ' were ... he didn't acknowledge ( or understand maybe ) the MVHR, Tesla battery not a valid point , PV no mention. More interesting ... because no obvious room thermostats rates it 2/5 ( no understanding of HA ) Hot water also only gets 2/5 To give some context. All my rentals are 1930 terraced houses with double glazing ( my build has triple ) and a gas boiler - yet they are all 'D' So 'efficiency ' wise on paper my new build is no better than them. Perhaps he did it to increase my RHI . I did ask him to down grade it before he began with his response being " I can only do what I see". So , it's a complete mockery. In real terms I am probably a 'B' - the system is a joke

Like these ; that I already have .

Yes - this sounds like a good approach

No , no , no . If you could see what I can see you’d understand. I could put an access panel every 1m I suppose .

Ffs ! Rubbish game anyway ! You win Zoots heating system

No sleep for anyone tonight until I win . Knew I should of dug down another level

Ffs ! Lets do it by volume . What’s your floor to ceiling height ?

Yeah I could do that. It would be easy to add. I did think of things like that some time ago. But playing with these things will need to take a back seat for now....

Can't have plasterboard ceiling. Too much of a PITA . Also I want access to everything everywhere - because of the eclectic layout..... ?

HMMMM! 92m2 But that's allowing for finished wall to finished wall. Bet @Thorfun is cheating and using just floor area. I also have my dungeon courtyard - I should add that in really; which is 24m2 So total is 116m2 - funny how I win by 1m2 - my measuring though is rather "subjective" - anyway ... I WIN!

(expletive deleted) THAT! - Measuring it now!

Not sure how you are going to measure "performance " ? My view of performance will be how small the electric bill is. I *could* in theory add HA to water tank ( even every electrical appliance and socket ) so I could see exactly what is using how much. But - I'm sure exactly how useful all that info would be.
