Sheesh so the digger ran over the cable so the hire company will invoice me for it. I will keep the damaged one, I take it the safest thing is to just lose the part that was severed and move the plug to the new end? Like joining it even covering with heat shrink tubes would be a bit crap?

Thanks I read lister on it.

Right black Jerry can got and this???

We saw it working, it has a handle start. The guy said to get oil (showed us the level for the dipstick) and leave it beside it. I know its engine oil but was about to go to halfords to get some, any particular kind? Thanks. Yup I need to get diesel too, they will be there at 8, the digger will position it. How much diesel should I get, tomorrow is only 2 men 1 day then a lull for 2 weeks till bison slabs arrive. Guy also said at end to call him after we are done with it and he would likely buy it back. (He was refused planning for a self build and they are fighting it). Ssssh don't ask me how much we paid because you will say we could have done better lol.

So waiting for bison slabs for our new build. Budget tight. Another birthday is approaching and I was thinking of suggesting to the family to chip into makita tools. Our groundsman was saying you can swap the £100 batteries for parkside at £50. Any thoughts?

I saw one recently somewhere, it all looked green, covered in moss. Not good.

I thought the g99 was not needed for 3 phase?

This is what I received, mcs registered and guarantee 25 years "So with single phase you will be limited to a 5.88kW system (x14 panels) This system in-roof is priced at £6500 fully installed. A 5kW battery would be a good starting point and then you can add additional batteries in the future - this battery is priced at £3000. With three phase you are allowed up to a 15kW (x36 panels) This may be slightly large as it would be a small scale commercial system... but you could go for an 8kW (x20 panels) This system is priced at £9000 fully installed. Again either a 5kW or 10kW battery would be advised - 5kW would be £3000, 10kW would be £5500. "

Thanks. Do you think they would be suitable with 3 phase? We have a pole in our garden and am seriously tempted.

Eh? *Head swivels Just about to buy a roof was supposed to be standing seam (toss up between coated netal and trocal). Can we put on pv instead and minimise buying 'roofing' for roughly the same?

So far I have been told to get an 11kw mitsubushi

Which would you go for? A Mitsubushi or Panasonic ASHP? Getting quotes. Thanks.

Yikes so if I had if got the setting out as part if the land survey it could have been zero rated but because I didn't they can now charge me and I can't claim it back?

Hiya, newbuild, should we be paying vat for the land survey and setting out (4 pins at corners)?

Maybe I could get one there and have it brought over? Anyone selling?

too small

or this? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/495040812706624/

what about this? more £ than I intended £900 and its a lister https://www.gumtree.com/p/plant-tractors/diesel-cement-mixer-/1455939145 he says he has just finished his own self build.

We are paying the builder by the block and he won't supply the cement mixer. We hired a diesel one for a few weeks to get underneath done but really, it's dead money. Hoping to have our old generator working soon but thinking we do need a bigger one.

Darn, there is a 3 phase pole beside us (stay in our garden) and we are thinking of getting it. We have been recommended a 11kw ashp, electric shower and 5 showers (don't ask). Hadn't thought of the heat pump having to be 3 phase. Is there a big cost difference?

So we have 2 houses to put up and the best rental price is 45 pw. Guessing we will need it for a minimum of 14 weeks. Tempted to buy one and sell it at the end. Whatcha think?

Waiting for the equally antique generator to be serviced (villiers engine) and wondered could I put on a standard 13 amp plug on this wonch and test it? The only thing is there are 3 brown wires and one yellow/green. How do I wire it?

I am fecked. A shower isn't enough, shower then bath. How can dirt get that deep?

How is this?
