  1. honda and husqvarna had stalls at the grand designs show in london couple weeks ago, asked them when the stripey version was coming out, nothing in works apparently...
  2. what sort of money are those tilt turn doors you used ?
  3. zehndar to a combined inlet and exhaust grill that will more than cover the hole hiding many sins.
  4. not far off double the price of a tesla powerwall comparing ££/kwh
  5. use a dpm under the lot.
  6. they dont do stripes though!
  7. just a heads up your steel drawing download has personally identifiable information.
  8. very good prices on the fittings!
  9. a2a air con unit ? Designing for 2 different temperatures within a sealed insulated box isn't very desirable. it means you will be running both the heating and cooling very inefficiently.
  10. cold roof, less to go wrong. hybrid roof is much worse to get right than a normal warm roof.
  11. they normally make the cover flash a bit longer and dress it down to make a nice finish. all cosmetic of course.

    France Homes

    looking at south of france to spend couple months each year, anyone else do the same ? Anything to look out for ?
  13. the joys of a shed build!
  14. ledger plates on wall, noggins of the joists to support it.
  15. good question, never had a bco ask about cavity closers. Ive used in last house and this the kingspan cooltherm closer but it doesnt have any info on fire rating. Guess the question is why are they selling it if it cant be used ? https://www.kingspan.com/gb/en/products/cavity-closers/kooltherm-cavity-closer/?s=d
  16. stud it. timber is sustainable.
  17. on the plus side you would get all the VAT back and end up with a much better built house. Do you plan on staying there for a long time ?
  18. Nothing for them to fix through if the window is set back where it should be in the cavity where the insulation is. Straps are the only way.
  19. see you had free track marks included where he slipped of the head of the screw and ran the impacter down the frame.
  20. smashing the frames with concrete fixing should be banned. It takes no extra time to use straps and make a decent job of it.
  21. we are in same boat. moving from limitless cheap hot water, gas combi, to ASHP. starting with 2 x 250L cylinders and will keep adding them until we dont run out through normal use. Plan is to heat them overnight with ASHP and cheap rate electric. dump solar into them during day.
