    Kennels

    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...

    Best electric solution

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

    Holiday home contract

    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 ;)

    Mini Digger Question

    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...

    Holiday Let

    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...

    Holiday Let

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

    Holiday Let

    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...

    Shepherd hut

    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.

    Wireless CCTV / Wifi in a yard

    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...

    Air source heat pump

    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

    Self fit Ground mounted Solar

    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...

    Air source heat pump

    Bought a 3 bed house @1000ft in West Wales, so its wet, cold, often in the clouds (like today). It came with an ASHP and a warning about electricity bills! House itself is cavity walled but they're not insulated and has d/glazing throughout. Oversize radiators though UFH in the "sun room" (an...

    Corona - Holiday Lets

    Yep, as thought, still precluded from any form of WG grant in this new round :rolleyes: Plus, of course, lost NYE and so far one of my January bookings - the other 2 are after the next "review" but I hold no hope out for that.

    Corona - Holiday Lets

    Do you qualify? On the face of it, I should do for either the SBRR or the discretionary (can't have both) but as the full criteria have not been announced, I'm willing to bet that I will fail on again on the basis of my rental not being greater than >50% of my income. I would be surprised...

    Corona - Holiday Lets

    Believe me when I say I looked at all angles of Welsh Gov grants and didn't qualify. Discretionary was linked to ERF criteria as mentioned above. Self-employed (for me) certainly didn't qualify as I'm also PAYE, as it makes up only a part of my income, I'm not "self-employed' per se. I've...
