... Hi Chris, I agree but I was just looking at the rain water harvesting and IMHO if the loo flushes that is 'comfortable' enough for me. I've been wondering...
Just a reminder on how to join to join the UK_Selfbuild group - been asked to re-post this for people who wish to send to colleagues etc. The UK_Selfbuild...

Our basement is around 110 sq M in total. Most of this is garage with a couple of large store rooms and a utility room. None of these are classed as...
I have to declare that I chose B&B construction and of course I want everyone else to do the same. However, I really don't think the method of construction...
... Where did you pick that one up from? I have never heard anyone claim timber frame was cheaper in the UK. If your friend is right and timber frame is...
... I was thinking along those lines. In a conventional house that means first floor level where in my application there will soon be a handy no longer used...
Thanks for the responses so far guys but I do need three metre lengths, I need to cut it down to 60 cm lengths and 1 metre lengths are very wasteful. See here...
If I couldn't find 3m lengths, I'd weld a bunch together if (as looks likely) they are lightly loaded and can be painted for protection. Stuart ... From:...
Or make up some couplers - 4 m6 nuts spun loosely together on a bit of studding, weld everyone other facet to make a small coupler. Stuart ... From: "Nigel...

Many thanks for all your comments on B+B v/s timber frame. I hope that I can continue the dialogue with you all, and please forgive me if some of my questions...
This whole palaver gets more complex and potentially costly. In our new build, we plan to have an underground tank to capture the water, and a submersible...
... wasteful. Nigel, I think you will struggle to find 3 mtr lengths of studding as there is no demand for it so long. I think you are in Beds, Allfast in...
Hello Martin Why not have header tanks fed by your pump, at least that will allow you a few toilet flushes when you have a mains failure? Tracey . We will also...
Unless you're in a desert or miles & miles from civilisation, I'd be very very surprised if you can beat the economies of scale your local water company can...
Seems rather odd ... I'd have thought rainwater would be just what a gardener would want ... soft & not chlorinated ... better for plants ... !!! ??? Chris...

Surely if you ordered several batches, you will know if each order had the same spec? If the spec for the orders were the same, then you are OK! Stuart ... ...
