Re: RTS is ending

I read somewhere last week that there's also a North:South divide in the way they work - ones in the South functioning better.

The whole rollout hasn’t been the best, has it !

Re: underfloor heating under floorboards - any ideas on the numbers?

We're holding off on any big stuff until we've settled in, don't want to make decisions now and change our minds later From our experience, I’d say this is absolutely the right strategy. Get a good feel for the house and test the ideas on here. I think a new/separate thread would be be the best way...

Re: Are people really so dim?

Also, conservation areas can change.

When we bought the house (2013), we were in a conservation area.

We were, thankfully, now outside by about 50’

Always worth rechecking.

We’re not back until March - missing our usual timings for a Marrakesh trip. The weather patterns have certainly changed here - generally hotter, although we’ve encountere...

Having a bit of a heatwave here, 36o day time, 27-28o night.

It’s unexpected say the Lanza locals.

Having said that, it’s lovely.

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Love Middle Eastern/Asian rugs.

We have several, different sizes and, obviously design, from Turkey through to Tajikistan.

If you could support a ‘recycling’ industry.

Wow !
