    Its finally finished!

    The house is no longer stone cold, damp, with slugs getting in. It's warm, comfortable and the bills have dropped loads.

    Since the planning started 4 years ago we have FINALLY got the last job done!

    Here's the main jobs done
    - LPG cooker with non-fan oven ?? induction hob and electric fan oven
    - Oil boiler and immersion heater ?? Heat pump and central heating refit
    - Solar PV ? with large battery, and gateway for off-grid
    - EV charger
    - Solid wall insulation - Diathonite lime/cork EWI - from 2.0U to 0.60U
    - Triple glazed timber/alu - all but 2 windows, 3 doors
    - Raised concrete patio bridging damp course ?? lowered porcelain patio tiles
    - MVHR and removed bathroom and kitchen extractors, recirculating cooker hood
    - Wood and recycled supasoft loft insulation top-up
    - All light fittings now use replaceable LED bilbs ?

    oh and we needed a new roof!

    Thank you to everyone for their suggestions and answering so many questions. I'm so glad GBF is still here - I can't remember who is currently running things but many thanks! There's nowhere similar. :cool::cool::cool:

    No doubt I will still post since there are other important repairs needing doing plus some accessibility improvements, I'm hoping to get eco-friendly stuff for. :cool:
