As I argue with the council over an epc on another property I decided to check mine on my build . It’s a laugh isn’t it . With zero extra work inbetween …. initially a D ( wanted low for the MCs ASHP grant ) . Then a B for bco sign off Now an A ! - after correcting errors - waiting for exact score . Near passive standard without the passive costs !

Me sir me ! what didn’t I do … Put up the timber frame CU wiring plastering install the glazing ummmmm , that’s it really . took a bit of time - but me nutters are big

No . You count each one and put a marker pen on the dimple so you don’t count it again . I want photographic proof you’ve done this then I’ll tell you what to do .

You’s da bro 👊🏻

That’s bollocks . But count the dimples anyway

Just count the dimples on both sides . Most dimples is down side . Easy bro 👊🏻

I have threatened that , and of course would do that . Council didn’t respond to it . I need to keep skin in the game a little longer .

Absolutely. I checked and as I need a letter from my epc assessor confirming 0.14 U on combined roofs ( not the uninsulated one ) ; he’ll charge me for that and I’ll bill the council . The chance of this going to tribunal is almost zero - but like most council BS ; they play poker holding a pair of two’s .

Having fun here So council go down document L route ; though it can’t be applied retrospectively. They then do health and safety risk … We’ve moved from the loft room - evidence from epc assessor that the combined U is 0.14 I.e less than there wanted minimum of 0.16. So that’s good news . Focus has now shifted to the kitchen pitched roof which is deemed uninsulated . This is an easier problem . Worst case it could be insulated internally as there is ceiling height . Again they quote document L - which they can’t enforce . Then they try health and safety as roof not 0.16 or better . Their case officer viewed the house 3 months ago and did pick on other issues in the kitchen ( incorrectly ! ) , so he was observant . But missed category 1 and 2 h &s issues ??? Either incompetent or there aren’t any issues . The council have clearly overstepped their authority. They have zero evidence. Told them let’s go to tribunal.

Take responsibility then

You made one ? Or you want one ??

I clearly didn’t make them

Bro I made these 👊🏻

You are a tease

Lots of wine , lots of shots , lots of luck can narrow that time 😉

I couldn’t get my appointed menial removed from the case but his (it’s) supervisor now checks everything . Just waiting on epc’s assessors report which of course I have to pay for . I do see a few future tricks here .

Temperature nice and chilled in the dungeon . Having said that body heat can raise it a bit

Everyone likes a fiddle 😉

Because they can’t enforce part L they’ve stepped back a bit and are referencing https://www.cieh.org/media/3762/cieh-excess-cold-enforcement-guidance.pdf I’ve got a card to play as my epc assessor will put in writing that the entire loft room meets an averaged U rating of 0.14 I.e exceeding their ‘want’ of 0.16

Yes “yet” is the word for sure . But evidence suggests I’m in the right area . My faith is low but my confidence is high . Supposedly rain tomorrow

Only just noticed I created this April 1st - but it’s no joke !

I was going to do it last year ; decided I’d do it later - then summer ended …. Difficult to isolate leak when it rains I.e impossible

Chat told me to repaint it again , so I’ll do that tomorrow as can’t do any harm

Well ! 6 hours later I can’t tell if it’s leaking !!! There was still some dampness before I did the test . Took photos then . Compared to now can’t see any difference. Though different lighting at different times of day isn’t helpful . So we wait for ‘proper’ rain now …

Have to be honest watching water move probably more fun than death stranding .
