plenty of good kids out there, itys terrible they have been let down so badly by the system in preparing them for life. I dont remeber it being this bad when UNI was restricted to higher achievers and trade schools / BTEC/YTS for the rest of us. I'd rate a good trade over any highly paid paper pusher office worker / legal / nhs any day of the week.

thanks kevin, never did well at school myself. found out in later life its dyslexia. speller check sometimes works for me..

screwfix one is smaller. its a diy version

The education system has had it. Aged 18 kids leaving who cant do basic English and maths. What have the useless teachers being doing for 15 years apart from filling their heads with lefty crap ? We had a work experience lad, nice kid, couldn't do basic math in his head. Asked him what he was expecting in his exams, B and A for everything. It's criminal how badly they have been let down. And the comedy you see when offstead do an inspection and the heads all start wailing and crying saying the stress is killing them. pah.

bit like saying a combi is better as you dont need to bother insulating. ASHP for cooling is new, the MCS 'professionals' are not done ripping people off for heating let alone not being able to rip them off for 2 ASHP one for heating and one for cooling!

14 is a bit cold ?

forget MVHR for cooling, we have the Q350 with the expensive heat/cool battery and its totally useless for cooling. The fancoils on the other hand amazing. Just insulate all the pipework to them and run a condensate drain to them.

cupboards below counter height are fine with pull outs and cab be more accessible than drawers. The main issue for op is there isnt enough room to make it nice with the open layout and everything crammed into a corner with a door messing it up. put up an irregular stud wall to separate the lounge gives a lot more feature space to work with and keeps the stink and noise out the living room and lose the separate utility completely.

yup a joke.

bending down for an oven is bad design

use stainless steel brads

they will make you divert it, if there is fall. Very very unlikely they will allow it through your footings.

15 days to install hahahahahha, Did our first and second fix in less time than that including fitting the bathrooms. I think they are taking the pi$$ out of you.

the building is definitely a snowflake free zone. Are yyou doing site/subby work or smaller projects ?

be interesting to see if a combination of trickle vents and one of the single room type MVHR units, this one does 50m2, would be a comprimise on heat recovery vs full mvhr https://www.bpcventilation.com/bsk-zephyr-single-room-heat-recovery-unit

be cheaper to take the roof off and use attic trusses. be in the dry in less than a week.

core directly behind the ASHP and you wont see the connection. Make the hole big enough so the insulation is not compressed and then seal it up real good.

klober do a really nice dry virge, gives a much higher end look than a sea of plastic fascia and barge https://klober.co.uk/dry-verge-and-valleys/dry-verges/p/continuous-dry-verge-s-strip

use morter will be fine. seen a pallet of blocks on top of screed before with no issues.

non-habitable rooms should not get damp enough to worry about as its us that generate most of the moisture. Insulation job is to prevent condensation by moving the dew point inside the insulation where condensation cant form.

interesting. But how are rooms without a dmev unit in, bedrooms, studies, living rooms etc supplied with fresh air ? Really needs to be a low cost midpoint between full blown MVHR and through the wall fans with trickle vents.

put down an electric heater of some sort that passes sap. never fit it. crack on.

the warehouse style layout, make some rooms. Plenty room for another en-suite.
