Diary detailing the trials and tribulations of a Self Build Project in Pantymwyn, North Wales. The build is a timber frame construction and will incorporate high levels of insulation - Air Tightness Membrane - MVHRHP System - Energy efficient lighting etc and so will be some way towards a 'LOW ENERGY' House.

Carpets Fitted
Carpets fitted last week - ready to hang the doors this week, hopefully we will also get most of the bathrooms fitted. The staircase has also had a coat of oil and this has really made a lot of difference to the way it looks.

GENVEX MVHR Installed and Working!
It's been a successful weekend - we have managed to get the MVHR system in and working. We now have Hot & Cold Water Feeds to kitchen/bathroom/utility - just need them connecting to bathroom furniture etc... we now have Under floor heating working and hot water - WOW!
This is the MVHR unit - it also provides hot water - and we have the capability to install solar panels to it - all the pipework required has been installed ready for this. Hopefully in the near future installing solar panels for free hot water is going to be relatively simple.

The MVHR unit is a bit complicated - the user manual is about 20 A4 pages long - it is a very clever piece of kit - but boy it is going to be interesting getting it set-up correctly. Also made in Denmark (GENVEX) it's manual is not written in the best English.
We have a number of rooms now ready for carpeting - upstairs is just about done, all emulsion and glossing has been completed, and downstairs is about 80% done.
We should be moving in soon and christams is now looming... will we make it?
