A combination of a broken Land Rover and Mothers Day meant no work on the house this weekend. Twice as much will have to be done next time in order to catch up.
Still no sign of the planning application online yet. I hope it shows up soon as we would like to see progress.
Finally, still considering options for heating and hot water. The idea of a wood-burning range is probably out as it does not fit with a working lifestyle. We would need a back-up electric cooker for preparing meals quickly which defeats the purpose of using renewables. There are other options, but costs will probably be prohibitive.
I like the idea of underfloor heating as it is at the junction of the floor and the walls where the most damp appears. Gentle warmth in this are will dry it out nicely. We will have to think about ventilation though, as this could lead to excessive condensation. The other problem is that the rooms are not particularly high, so raising the floor may cause other problems.
Our planning application includes solar panels for heating water, but again the cost may be too much for these. I am sure all these technologies will get cheaper, but just not yet.
