Alternative would be a traditional loft heater. I would be tempted to plumb in the dehumidifier in that situation, and fit a humidistat so that it switches, and / or a timer. F

I think numbers are impossible to come up with for all-inclusive, because the starting point is always different. The only place you could refer to would be either your own research, local self-builders, or your architect, or SPONS. What is your price standard? - There isn't one until you create your own. On materials etc I tend to treat current Wickes headline price as my standard, and aim to dip about 35-40% below it on average. Ferdinand

Theres loads of information on the forum - you need to go and look for it.

"The Last English Rose". Original owned or exhibited by Saatchi I think https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-The-Last-English-Rose/393151/2446991/view "Harper & Deyong offer a range of luxury artworks suitable for every room in the house. If you like this piece but are looking for a different colour speak to the team on 01494 722 880. " If I had that sort of money to spend it would not be a print; I would be looking for an original, or to commission, or something more like an original Moore or Frink where I know it will not get commoditised or rejected later by the artist (see Banksy); I think the contemporary art market is a racket, both in galleries and auctions, and especially in IP. BTW f you sell this print on, you will have to pay 4% to the artist. Ferdinand

Did she make you an offer for your glass?

In keeping with the vintage it is on Audio CD. https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Lie-Statistics-Penguin-Business/dp/0140136290/ How goes the brick?

Fraud. That is obviously unused.

Up here we use loo roll...

That's interesting - says who? There was me thinking that land ownership was not a material Planning Consideration. Presumably Things Are Different in a National Park on that score. I would still expect that to change in that position at some stage. Though it may take a generation. Ferdinand

No. He left it half an hour early and sent me a text message.

There's room for another on there, later. Might get it, too, on Appeal.

Just had a 5am delivery of a 35-40kg ish shower screen left in my porch when I am up so he could ring the bell and help me put it aside until next week. Can just about handlie it, but ... Bugger. Good job it is the downstairs shower. Ferdinand

External wall = between the inside and the outside. Internal wall = between 2 inside spaces.

Interesting. Does it have good insulation levels?

This is Window Shopping as in "looking at all the things I do not need to buy". (Can't decide whether the artist is Welsh or Serbian) Update: Serbian Geordie, apparently.

Interesting. I have seen Gleeson boast albeit some time ago that they get their plots for 10k each. They have an arm called Gleeson Land, who seem to be quite good at what they do. They will have a development near here where prices are scheduled to start at 110k. Ferdinand

I disagreed on the levels changes. For me the demarcation of space is good, but the complete non-accessibility of it would make it a total no-no in most circumstances, I like that there are not many things that are completely out there, rather that things that are reasonably established in different places are used in a new setting. Examples of this are the slice taken out of the roof in ep 2 and done with a greenhouse like roof directly onto the rafters, and hidden bed in Ep3 ... that was seen in a lot of tiny flat designs a couple real ago. Another interesting thing in the series is that there is very little about upstairs ..it is all about the key downstairs places. F

How have you found having VR compared to eg a 3D walkthrough on a 3D package such as ArchiCAD on a large screen? Are you able to walk around with your client inside the model? I think one main reason the programme works is that we get to see serious struggles upfront whilst conceptualising the design. F

If somebody is going to call the poor thing ring-necked, then no wonder they are suicidal? Nominative determinism?

Welcome.

Your wish.... https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/factual-entertainment/your-home-made-perfect-bbc2/5135865.article Also they use Sian from Moregeous as a consultant iirc. It is like Millionaire with thier questions-first, they do the big reveal at the start, and the tension is in the family story and the choice between the Blue Pill and the Red Pill. https://moregeous.com/2019/01/28/new-trailer-your-home-made-perfect/

Mine is multiply-zip-tied to a knocker-post. Very maintainable, but still OK after 5 years. Delay the installation if you enjoy the nagging experience.

Welcome.

I have been catching up with this TV Prog (BBC2). The premise is to get 2 contrasting schemes from 2 contrasting architects. For the episodes I have seen one has usually been a "fat at the back" 2000s traditional modernisation, but the latest I saw had one "on the angle", and the other as an intelligent reconfiguration. I like that it uses entirely ordinary homes in ordinary places with ordinary people on ordinary budgets - the one I have last watched was a couple in a bog standard right-to-buy Council House on a corner plot - and I can find 20 exactly like that within a mile of my desk. In this case it works, and the projects are built-with-modifications. And for me it has the best engagement with the client, rather than with not-yet-famous experts on the make. There is just the presenter and 2 architects - following the BBC template of "sensible woman" and " male character". There is virtual reality tech-gimmickry which blows Sarah Beeny's LCD Floor into a cocked hat, but is in a mainly supporting role. My only annoyance beyond "talking up the tech" segments is a presenter with a slight need to diss rather than explain whatever went before. They are no the BBC2 iPlayer here. Be quick - Episode 1 has already dropped off the end. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m00048xh/your-home-made-perfect Ferdinand

I'd talk to your Council. They should have no interest in frustrating you.
