Moira Niedzwiecka Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Had the air tightness test & EPC done this week. Not really ready but had to do it to meet the deadline for the FIT. House nowhere near finished, just plastered, have 2nd fix to do & MVHR not on yet. Air test result was 0.41 & EPC A rated at 99. (Of course if I fit solar thermal at a cost of £4000 it could score 101 & save £64 a year. What nonsense.) Huge relief. My husband would have been so chuffed. 12 1

vivienz Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Well done - brilliant result and something to move on from.
Moira Niedzwiecka Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks guys. It was all really down to Henry's hard work & attention to detail. He sadly passed away on 5th March. Heartbreaking that he didn't get to see the house finished & move in. However, it stands as a huge achievement for him & it is lovely. 3 1 6
vivienz Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 So sorry, Moira. A bittersweet achievement, but an achievement, nonetheless.

Mrs NSS and I send our love Moira. Fantastic achievement but so sad your husband won't be able to share your pride. I'm sure his presence is indelibly imprinted in the place and will always be there with you though.
newhome Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 So very sorry Moira. Exactly the scenario I found myself in. Like me you will find the strength to finish it alone I'm sure xx
jamiehamy Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Well done. As NSS said, he'll always be with you and that's a lovely thing I think, although might be hard at time. No better testament to him to live in the house he helped you build xx
Sue B Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Very sorry Moira - the house will be his legacy for you to enjoy once it is completely finished.
Dreadnaught Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) So sorry to hear the news, Moira. It was an enormous pleasure to have met Henry. You have my deepest sympathies. And your absolutely lovely house is, as you say, a wonderful achievement for Henry and you both. Edited March 16, 2019 by Dreadnaught
mvincentd Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Sorry to hear such sad news, especially when there is so much to be proud of, not least of which yourself. Great respect to you and indeed your husband.
MikeSharp01 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Glad and sad all at the same time - so sorry to hear the sad news but pleased that between you you got this far. It won't be easy, it isn't fair but it is an achievement.

Condolences on your loss. There was a Grand Design's quote from the boyfriend of the woman who designed a brilliant 50s inspired house in Falmouth, Cornwall. "The Scandinavian House", that might fit. "In some ways it feels like I am living in Kathryn's head." (paraphrase form memory - at about 41 minutes). Edited March 18, 2019 by Ferdinand
Moira Niedzwiecka Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 Thank you for all the good wishes. Buildhub has been a lifeline for me over the past 2 years. The practical aspect with the shared knowledge & experiences, but, also the support & humour. 6
