Kelvin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Congratulations. That is quick. You’re already ahead so use the time well. Took us 13 weeks for planning and 7 weeks for the warrant with a 5 week gap between gaining planning and applying for the warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMo Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Get a lock up, and start filling with the expensive stuff, when you see a bargain. I bought the full heating, ventilation, solar PV system well before I started, all bought in the pre lockdown sales in March 2020. Our planning came through in September 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sort of why i have been asking loads of questions on here about prices i have been given for ASHP, UFH and MVHR. Some suppliers are taking the P!ss Have not seen a bargain yet to jump on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 The best deals are from wrong orders, mis-measures etc. I once got 27 high quality internal doors from ebay. They were supposed to be FD60 and got made as FD30, so sold to the highest bidder. They were a mix of 926 626 and I stored them for a while and sized the openings to use all of them. Saved over 90% and they delivered! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post and beam Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 You might notice some inconsistencies between the elevations, we have been playing with combinations of Render, cedral cladding in a choice of 2 colours and brick. Will put the internal up later although they are here somewhere from when i was asking about MVHR options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is now can you build it quicker than me ? . Funnily enough Facebook showed me a photo today of when I broke ground - it said “ 10 years ago today “ ; which is of course a lie . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
