I had an Osbourne computer, it was good but I'm sure the next model would have been a lot better! lol

It's more important to have a contract (in writing) before you start.

The golden rule when buying anything is that you shouldn't buy solely on price.There are many other factors to consider. See the people, references and other projects, etc

Great The solution is not to use Apple Mail (that come with iPad), but to use the Gmail App.

Are you using Apple Mail on the iPad?

What are your air tightness figures? I'm guessing well over 1 (ACH50). Just re-read your post and it say "...professionally designed and supplied MVHR system...". It couldn't have been professionally designed without any air tightness figures IMHO

It's not an invasion of privacy at all. Some people like to be able to control / automate their home, eg. Switching on/off a light without walking to press a switch 450mm to 1200mm above the floor. YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary)

Interesting video, but what awful guttering

That doesn't look like right to me either...and they don't look evenly spaced.

Any mistake is not having a Mac - IMHO

I wouldn't use a blank faceplate and drill, get one with the hole and bevel already done.

@KTCastle Welcome to Build Hub.

If you dont't have a PPA (pre-planning application) that cover the subdivided plot, I would say (IMHO) it's going to take much longer

You need to know how many channels or circuits you are going to need, with a few extra for expansion later. You will have be allocated a 60 to 100 amp (max) supply. You might have be asked or told when you placed your order. Here is a Hager Consumer Unit, but other brands are available .

It's highly unlikely that the rectification is done in the LED strip. Post a photo of 6'/150mm of your strip

LEDs need DC not AC and hence the "transformer" need to both drop the voltage and convert to DC. In cheap transformers this might just be a bridge rectifier (simple AC:DC convertor) LED strips normally have a visible + or - sign BTW The word "transformer" is normally used as a term for voltage changes in the AC domain only.

Which direction is South?

When are you installing the windows and doors to make it weather tight?

You sound frustrated. Fingers cross

FYI Attached is the price list from ABC Anchors 143-SCREW PILE PRICELIST Apr2017 (2).pdf

Piles are normally used to go down, often a long way, to a solid bedrock. Screw piles do not go the the bedrock but are held in place by the large surface area acting on the underground material. As piles are installed the torque is measured to determine the depth that is required.

@Tom's Barn Have you started with the ISOTEX yet. I'm very interested.

@vivienz Hope you're all sorted now.
