RedRhino Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 In 2008 we were in Germany and admired the quality of their new-build houses. Why had they got no heating on, in sub-zero temperatures? And yet back in the UK we couldn't keep warm with the boiler and stove on full? That was the start of our first kick up the butt, to get on and build. We built a timber frame low energy house on the site of a 1950's bungalow in Rugby, Warks. Then a one acre site came up for sale with a single dwelling on. We knocked that down and built three brick and block low energy houses. Then 2014 we saw a plot in the Stroud valleys, close to the railway station, with a southerly aspect and couldn't not buy it. We built an ICF house and moved in 2017 and here we are. We always install MVHR, best air-tightness, best insulation - Passiv Haus principles but without the certification. Still we itch for another project and so here we are . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
