Joe, the only wood I have experience of is Larch. Readily available, UK wood, weathers nicely untreated to give, in my opinion, a very attractive silvering. Very durable. Available in many options - rain screen, laths, T&G, ship lap. We’ve used untreated wood sourced locally that comes in a rho...

T seal for panels along with MC4 triple connectors and my personal fave, no 4.2 x 40mm s/s self tapping hex head screws arrived today. They'll do nicely on the boot room build. Off adventuring to Turkey tomorrow. My backpack has an IQ7 250W micro inverter and a few mc4's in it. Oh aye and an IQ7 230...

Use these ......... but they are getting more pricey ........ Panel is 200w 33v OC. https://i.postimg.cc/McKqmccP/Capture.jpg Nice one, is the microinverter indoors. Is it cooled? Definitely an interested mind. If the next 3 panel string we are installing tips over (alarm/reboot) on the 150V 60A DC...

I set a 12A draw on the batteries to EV last night at and it pulled the stack down to 12% soc by early this morning. It did recover a little but not as extreme as the 10% gain a few days ago. We'l...

Locally sourced rough sawn Scots pine timbers are on standby in a separate wee bit. So guys, question. Cladding? Spruce Pine Larch... Which one for cladding & why, any input much appreciated. 🤔 👏 Does it need cladding? That will further reduce the light in the rooms behind it. Pretend it's like...

Which one for cladding & why, any input much appreciated.

If you need any materials for the repair of the window there is Jennifer Jane stained glass studio in Hatton of Fintray. Thanks Ian, good to know. I didn't get the battens yesterday but hopefully on for some 1 year air dried local 8"x2"'s Scots pine which I'll rip down on the tablesaw. I ...
