Turkingtons. Spec acceptable, price keen.

Good question. Design isn't finalised yet so as much as I know the walls will go up quickly and the upstairs floors will be in cassette form, the roof structure is as yet undecided. The central portion of the roof will definetely be cut, but the L&R "wings" could be either cut or top-hat trusses. For now I'm presuming a couple of weeks which ties in well with the 6-8 weeks lead time on the UPVC windows. I'll know more when the final drawings arrive (which must mean it's time to pay some more soon...) and when Kieran visits site to inspect access etc.

Scaffolder booked, windows ordered.

no tbh. It's all a load of bull**** but that^^ makes sense now. Uhh-huh.

Shed's for later at this stage. I'm sure the last kW could go there sometime...

Hmm. I've been sitting looking at the plans, ruler in hand, and am unsure whether I can reasonably get more than 12 panels where we're looking at. I did however get what looks like a pretty good quote from Plug-in Solar- 12x 270w Talesun panels, GSE kit, 6x microinverters, and all the gubbins for c. £3.3k inc the VAT. Opinions?

Looking at he MIs, terminal 3 on the TS715 has no function, they're just using it as a junction.

depends. You bringing the beer then?

I'd say that in the kit I work on (autoclaves, incubators) it doesn't matter whether it's SSR or electromechanical, they still fail. Also need to consider a chunk of space for the heatsink an SSR needs to make it reliable. At 13A non-inductive I'd go with a cheapo plugin relay and base though rather than a full-on contactor.

I went the same route as @Ed Davies some years back. I've a 600W/1200W peak inverter that I can run off a car battery for light loads or the car idling for heavy work. I've also one of the Lidl inverter gennies (superb value) which replaced a B&Q 2-stroke which wasn't bad either for ten years... Repairing these as I do and seeing then instore, I'd ignore the brand unless you have money to burn. Cheapies more often than not use Honda-clone 4-stroke or Yamaha-clone 2-stroke engines. Although i haven't yet worked out who designed the tiny 4-stroker in the Lidls one yet. For really quiet everlasting suitcase inverters it's got the be the premium Japanese stuff or maybe a Kipor. For everything else? Chinesium.

a 20 tonne load looks like nothing when it's tipped out. Heck we recently lost about five tonnes of blinding, filling potholes in the lane.

Off the shelf non vented roof windows
dpmiller replied to vivienz's topic in Skylights & Roof Windows
can't you just keep the vent closed? can you change to a more common size? -
makes our few cubic metres small cheese...

Hi!
-
called down to the site this evening to check up, to find the site loo had gone for a wander before being righted, tied off and propped by the neighbour. I didn't look inside...

got a plant room? hot press?
-
Hi! What Declan said- do bear in mind that planning Policy is a bit different over here compared to GB also, and under the new PPS21 selling off farm fields has been rather curtailed.

what sort of screed, and other than the primer how was it prepared?

Hiace aka the carpet fitter's favourite...

Spend some of the money on rubble to stop the site from being so muddy.

Depends whether the control box and actuators are 24v or mains at a guess

^ unsealed jamjar just in case, don't the inhibitors head acidic after dealing with oxygen?
-
Certainly motor antifreeze can be "lifetime" rated now and that's more about the inhibitors than the glycol. I'd contend that the vehicle application is more hostile too. But is there anything in a heating / ASHP system that might be sensitive to OAT or HOAT inhibitors?

has the track tension been kept checked?
