Does the neighbour actually *own* the land? Can you check whether the properties are freehold or leasehold?

BPC is in Northern Ireland. That's the UK y'know.

Looks good. Those blocks look very like the Quinnlites we used and similarly we've had no issue- expressnails, Hiltis, screws all have gone in firmly without incident.

But as inverters are current sources, trying to drive into what is basically an open circuit and minimal load would likely have the voltage swinging wildly. The mains supply isn't just for frequency control...

why not just widen the current path into a driveway?

you said " One advantage with a timber frame is if the seals become damaged or crack they are very easily replaced Unlike UPVC "

I'm talking about upvc...

door seals are easily replaced @nod you may be thinking of the glazing seals which may be co-extruded?

Our interlocking clay tiles are *very* slatey. https://www.lbsproducts.com/clay-tiles/interlocking-clay-tiles/snowdon-natural-black

what's the logic behind that? Surely the charger's supply needs protection and and MCB is an MCB whether it's in the main CU or another box...

Our open drain is wet in the winter, dry in the summer, and NIEA had no issue with direct discharge. As it happens we're discharging into our perimeter drain(does the other two sides of our triangular plot) so the plant is about 30m of perf pipe and drainstone away from it...

Thanks for that confirmation. Time for the spinning lazer and the front door threshold to get friendly methinks. Dave, I'd leave it but the TF openings are pretty big and I need to get on with the PB.

So I've got all the door linings in upstairs. Screed was down so easy enough to set a gap under the door and work to. Bog standard trenched linings from Howdens, so about a 20mm gap between door and screed. A mix of carpet and some kind of tiles will end up being fitted. Now for downstairs. Bottom of the sole plate is FFL but the subfloor height varies by perhaps 30mm around the house. Is FFL actually the top of any tiles or timber, or the screed below? Should I just put all the linings in level with the sole plate and expect the door to be really gappy until the final covering goes down (and insulation, and screed ) or set then down by some arbitary distance that allows for the final coverings? Level threshold at the front door obviously makes for a lack of adjustability here. thoughts please?

what's the dark bit just above and left of centre? Looks a bit like a plug screwed in from here...

check ground conditions too- if you're sitting on rock a shallow-dig option might help, , our Solido Smart is 175cm up to the manhole, a lot less than a Vortex or Conder.

and don't be too picky- brushes roughly the right size will file down...

I've a stone rake for the digger. Haven't used it in anger yet tho...

If it's a glass fuse, can you see in still or is it blasted silver/black inside?

precisely.

With control cables you need to watch out for non-removable plugs...

good Q. Plenty will want to make a killing on the install... Funny, I emailed RED for some info on their ASHPs at the start of the week; still waiting a response.

by law they need sight of them now AFAIK. Local factors, or big-ish dealership that has their own machine?

Mandatory insurance inspection surely?
