There's a fella over the hill from me and he's a kennels. Seems quite busy and a lovely bloke/wife. His are all concrete cell/cage like with a run out area and the dogs are taken out once/twice a day into a field for fun/frolics. He's very keen on vet's certs to ensure you're not bringing in...

Better make sure my installer registers me quick! Just a thought, what about converting ASHP into GSHP as its more efficient?

I'm with one of the agencies and they have their own T&Cs, which are on their website, like other agencies. So have a look and download what suits your purpose ;)

I'm afraid I didn't though there seems to be PDFs on the internet you have to pay for and look dodgy as foof. Mine is still going well but one of the track motors is pretty useless so moving around is slow. I've replaced a load of the bearings on the arms etc as well, so its tighter but the...

Ah, not something I was aware of, so thank you for bringing it to my attention. PP is for a holiday let but after all the effort/hard work to make it happen, damned if I'm going to continue to live in my draughty old house whilst others enjoy it. I will be renting that out instead. Obviously now...

Prices have gone up for raw materials but most of the cost is in labour. Not gone up 50% though!

Nope, its just the baby one

At 3000 sq ft that's definitely 2 properties, with 2 beds +ensuites. I'm doing a barn conversion for myself and its roughly 1200sq ft and its generously big inside over 2 floors with openplan downstairs. You haven't said where you are as location does matter for what you can charge too. My...

Based on recent restrictions, all-in-one better than shared facilities I would have thought. The local clamping site has suffered worse last year than the self-contained places due to this.

Hikvision IP cameras - easy to use and set up plus good quality. Hikvision NVR if you want it centralised and recorded. You can just use SD cards in the cameras though if you don't. I set up cameras separately on the network as opposed to use the NVR "private" network - allows access if the NVR...

I would be very wary of sticking in an oil fired boiler what with people's desire to reduce carbon emissions - good chance you would have to replace it. I think hydrogen or electric (ASHP/GSHP etc) will be the near future choices

I'm planning on using old scaffold poles as a frame and set in concrete

No I have not but I have spoken to him a couple of times and likely will when I get to that stage of my build. Its like anything on the internet, do your own research, speak to the guy, review the kit he offers, check the feedback and so on - as you would for any capital purchase. My own opinion...
