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?

Thankfully not. Hose was a pain to change though as the breaker is a JCB Quiet unit and the whole casing needs opening to get to the unions. Thankfully the throughbolts weren't *too* tight.

Help with kitchen renovation/ 1st house.
dpmiller replied to zoothorn's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
composite sink, metal taps, I think I'd be wanting the tap grounded more than the plumbing? -
yes, I'm well impressed with the surface finish of the concrete. Shame to cover it all up...

Using "off the shelf house plans" yes or no?

Hmm that's odd, the attachment appears to have scarpered? We're going TF. dorm093-350-Miller-NI-A.02.pdf -

dpmiller replied to Olly P's topic in New House & Self Build Design
Shaun did pretty much a full redraw of the parent design for ours- look at dorm093 and compare it to our finished product here: and yes, our Planning Consultant did the site maps but I'm sure Shaun could handle those too tbh. -

@Olly P you could do worse as an exercise than to look at the website of our guy. Some of his designs veer more towards the Irish than others... www.irish-house-plans.com -

3. Yup. Change of design on Reserved Matters retained on footings, but passed under previous Planning policy. 6& 8 our guy is more than a Tech but less than a full Arch. 10. no, not all the boxes. 15. One sign on the gate? -

Definitely. -

dpmiller replied to Olly P's topic in New House & Self Build Design
We've used one of the local "off the shelf" designers, but had a full redesign of the standard plan to suit our requirements. Still ended up being pretty inexpensive. -
TT only from a transformer anyway. How come Morrows were involved then Dave, was there a road crossing?
-
Are you off a transformer or underground Dave? Guessins it's an underground if Morrow are involved. Yup, they are subconned to do the cable install but NIE will then make it live and fit the meter. There needs to be a compliant install for this to take place but if you're weathertight I'm sure your spark could sort a CU and a couple of double sockets before sending in the CC? A temporary supply would have needed requesting at time of order I believe.
