bought maybe, but what about erected and certified?

Old expansion bottle out of a car?

Strangford and Lecale is certainly an AONB.

the protection is generally in the battery.

the ASHP will have ambient temperature sensing for defrost control; how many people set it up for their own locality?

Smoothbore (twinwall) pipe has less desire to silt up than coilpipe, anecdotally.

I'm looking at that spec and thinking it's about 50k too dear?

We trawled the many "book plans" sites over here and when we found one that we quite liked, the designing Architect modified it (quite radically, an almost complete redraw) to our brief. Various TF companies then quoted against that.

Soft foam everywhere. Set the pump on foam, line the housing, sleeve the airhoses if they're near/touching anything.

and just to confuse further, "inverter" HPs are internally 3PH but at variable frequency.

Rather than a steamer (high power consumption) try an ultrasonic unit. Maplin used to do them for fog over water features but you can get standalone too. See for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-3L-Ultrasonic-Humidifier-Air-Room-Diffuser-Steam-Purifier-With-7-Color-Light/142721319238?hash=item213ada8146:g:TdAAAOSwk4tapWRz https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-24V-Ultrasonic-Mist-Maker-Fogger-Humidifier-Water-Fountain-Pond-with/253483323394?epid=2076907171&hash=item3b04c89002:g:yRoAAOSwKvJapXmu

Well my particular examples are absolutely silent, even with the driver sitting against the radio in the kitchen that is bothered by our current MR16s.

^ agree with Nick. Ordered some 6W variants to appraise and they're stunningly good. Even, glare-free light. Dunno about anyone else but as they're alloy body and steel backplate I'm happy to accept them as fire-rated too.

Does anyone have experience or opinion on these units? Smart-looking controller and the MIs read well, but are they worth a punt? VIGO 550.pdf

Traumatise the wildlife? Definitely! Well, if we want to, all the windows *are* openers...

So the official confirmation letter arrived yesterday. Planning conditions are few, and simple, and just as per the Officer's report: Start within five years Obscured glass for the bathrooms Landscaping following completion Access works pre-commencement (yup, like already eight years ago) No conditions re levels or ridge height is a bonus. Digger man and his mate called on Tuesday and we've a plan of attack. A couple of land drains to put in (one new, along the short E boundary with the nighbour's garden and one to culvert the long open drain on the South. Then strip and retain topsoil and put down crushed reclaim over the drive and form clean hardstanding. Still waiting a revised price for the TF...

well if you've tried adding bits of foam and stuff, it'll definitely be your fault.

now that's pretty.

Is it not more conventional to bring soil pipes up to floor level for the wastes to drop into?

this a 2-wire 240 uninsulated, and there's nothing at the base of the poles on our land.

Dragging this one back up... We'll be on a pole transformer via an overhead, so definitely only TT. NIE's favoured position for the meter box makes for tails well in excess of 3m. What's the neatest way of protecting those tails suitably? Switchfuse then 100mA -S RCD? Or does someone know where you can get an 80A/100mA type S RCBO? And as it's in the box with the DNO's stuff, the housing can be plastic rather than AMD3?

your body is @37 tho?

worth checking what you've got below ground, the "upright" designs might cause more of a problem if you've stone not too far down?

China, not Germany.

Umm, self-regulating perhaps, but still getting to 65c. Might be a touch warmer than you really want? With Jeremy's option you get to choose how burny they are.
