    like @jamiehamy says, do the windows not open?

    Or if your arm gets tired https://www.powertoolsgb.co.uk/cgi-bin/ecom.cgi?Command=ShowProduct&db_pid=44896&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3OKTwovz2gIVS7TtCh3qIwW8EAQYBSABEgKlAfD_BwE#.WvAB6n8h0oA

    and solid means "not stranded" eg installation cable rather than flexible for patchleads. I can't see me going for anything other than cat5e personally. If it happily carries 100Mb over 100m+ around garages with welders and grinders etc going (that's our normal installs...) it'll be good enough for my domestic use.

    CCA

    Yup. Nowt wrong with the cheapest solid copper you can find. CPC tend to be cheaper than my local wholesalers, delivered to the door.

    Is it OK for the lekky meter box to be there? Round these parts it has to be front wall or no more than 2m round the side, UNLESS the supply is already at the rear of the plot.

    Just had a read at the MIs for the Boulder units and it's pretty useless. Looks like the LCD controller has a "fan speed" button and "up-down" buttons; however the data sheet quotes fixed flows for each speed. You might be out of luck. Which model is it and how well matched to your requirements is it? You might try a restrictor ring where the duct attaches to the unit. But without an anaemometer we're all guessing...

    @MJNewton If in and out aren't balanced fan noise will indeed be interdependent; either fan could be stalling or cavitating. @Crofter Does the noise change much if you open a door or window?
  9. dpmiller
    but is each setting not variable also? Noise is pretty much dependant on flow and it's best to slow the fan rather than close over the terminal. Have you done any flow tests to see of you're in the right ballpark?
  10. dpmiller
    how high are the fans turned up?

    DON'T use a scraper. Stainless is generally a very soft steel...
  12. dpmiller
    and is this an accessible threshold?

    in-roof, complete with kit? http://www.pluginsolar.co.uk/?COLLCC=3715461417&product=plug-in-solar-4kw-4000w-new-build-in-roof-bipv-solar-power-kit-for-part-l-building-regulations

    Has anyone any experience of XPS Plus? I was in contact with Polarwall to get delivery costings and the chap mentioned a new option, XPS Pus. It's got a Lambda of 0.027 and is only a few quid more per cubic metre (£144 vs £120). Guessing it's this kinda stuff? https://www.jackon-insulation.com/en/jackodur/products/jackodur-thermal-insulation/jackodur-plus-300-gefiniert-gl/

    I've some experience of Haier as they move into commercial and lab refrigeration and thus far it aint bad...
  16. dpmiller
    it's not the most economical to run I've seen.
  17. dpmiller
    how much height do you need/ what kind of screed depth are you at?

    why get a plumber to do the guttering and flashing? How are they welding the copper pipes?
  20. dpmiller
    150 PIR would be equivalent, no?

    Local HETAS installer/dealer flat-out refused to talk to me about anything less than a Dibt-approved unit if MVHR was involved.
  22. dpmiller
    Oooh that is pretty.
  23. dpmiller
    I'd opine that it depends on the size of the development. Locally, most recent builds in the 2-20 property region are TF; bigger estates seem more likely to be block.
  24. dpmiller
    Oddly enough, NONE of the TF companies I approached were willing to offer an inclusive package inc. internal woodwork etc. Some would agree to offer options on external openings, PB, insulation packages and a couple would be happy to contract any and all porrtions of the complete build, but all started with an erected frame of varying spec.
  25. dpmiller
    there's a BIG difference between getting some blokey with a Jekub to price digging some trenches, and what might end up needing to be done. And yes, ther's no reason why a TF base need be any more complex than block; you need block up to FFL anyway.
