Bobnjudi Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hello All, so pleased to see this forum up and running, so many thanks to all of you who have taken the time to set it up and manage it. Our situation: In early April, we got planning approval for our new build passive house in mid Wales. The build will be (largely) on the site of an existing bungalow. It is our retirement project, so our plan is to take our time and enjoy the process, (if that is possible!) starting with demolition of the bungalow. Thirty years ago we build the house we live in (which is next door to our new building project). But a lot has changed in the intervening years, so lots to learn!
ProDave Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hi and welcome to the forum. Building next door is very convenient. I am building next door but one, just 50 metres up the road. 1
Jeremy Harris Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Welcome! Glad you managed to find us OK, we were a bit worried last week that we'd put all this effort into creating this forum and then no one would join! 1
Crofter Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Welcome aboard! You are right about things changing- most houses built 30 years ago might struggle to comply with current building regs. I know a few retired joiners who were surprised that I'm not just nailing plasterboard and plywood to either side of a 4" stud, as for a while that was the only way to build a house! 1
