Photographic evidence GPS and timestamps?
Post and beam replied to SarahG's topic in Building Regulations
Android or those other things, Apple ? I was wondering exactly the same for my Part L. Your post encouraged me to find out. I have an Android 4 years old A41, so not particularly new. Camera Settings, gear icon Location tags - On Watermark - on Now when i take a picture and check in gallery i can see all everything that is required for the evidence to satisfy Part L -
Apart from not understanding why i am responsible for taking photographs to prove the compliance to part L when i have bought a TF package from a very large supplier. Does anyone have practical experience they will share on the level of detail that satisfies the requirement please ?

Agree, shipping container if you have the room. We rent one for our house contents while we are in rented for a year. £160/month for what looks like a brand new container. No condensation issues through last winter. Buying them to place onsite is not expensive. Qube containers Call us today 03301 229943

What is VL please? Ok i just read the website, understand now.

Thanks Stu I think i will probably go for the Hardie then, the price difference is significant.
-
I have had a quote for both of these brands of weatherboarding. Have always thought that i was going to use Cedral but the Hardie is quite a bit cheaper and to be honest i cannot see a difference. Does anyone have experience of either of them to know whether one is inferior to the other or any other reason why you would not go for the Hardie cladding? Thanks keith

Octopus, did i imagine this?
Post and beam replied to Post and beam's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
So i think i might have been mistaked about this being an Octopus rate. Not the 10.5p i think i saw but hey ho ! -

Yep thats the kiddy. Only a couple of compliant models so far but the Vaillant Arotherm is one of them. As this is what i am fitting this is very interesting for me. Still cannot find the article though -
I cannot find an article i read recently, possibly on here. That said Octopus had a new tariff specifically for heat pumps with a 24/7 10.5p/hr rate. The crucial bit is that it used a direct connection to the heat pump to infer or measure the pumps electrical use and bill that seperately. Did i imagine this ?
-
I am familiar with DOP certification in my working life. The displayed information showing compliance should be legible and enduring. I dont find the markings in the picture clear enough to read so i think i need to ask to see the paperwork that applies.
-
Thanks, i hope so.
-
Just checking up on a TF company. It is already in place with the walls mounted.
-
Thanks Stu. I will. I hoped the numbers designated it in some way as 'treated'. Personally i dont think it looks like anything other that white pine internal timber. The cut ends do not look like they have and impregnation of anything.
-
Does anyone that knows have a view on whether this timber is 'treated' timber. And by definition therefore suitable for a soleplate Many thanks in advance keith

Routing UFH pipe through kicker block?

Whats the concern? -
Routing UFH pipe through kicker block?
Post and beam replied to Post and beam's topic in Underfloor Heating
Thanks dude. -
A neater routing strategy is possible in my build if i drill 20mm holes through the kicker blocks at the insulation/screed boundary height. In my ignorance i cannot see why this is not a good idea. Is this routine, acceptable or a totally stupid idea for reasons i dont understand?

To be honest i am trying to fulfill what i was told by the TF company is a requirement for them. I was talking to the TF erector and mentioned in passing that if the SHED i have built as a welfare unit for them survived the build it will become the wifes potting shed. He said 'of course it will survive, they wont use it' ! -
As i described, we thought the product looked good. We saw this in their offices in Lincolnshire. We also had a tour around the factory. Have gone elsewhere now for the reasons previously stated.
-
That'll be a no then i guess. As it happens , although the quality looked great they could not deliver the price they said they could when it came time to order.
