Hi Chruis, yes our friends lived near Munich for a number of years, and always found it odd that the outgoing tenant had to rip out a perfectly good kitchen, ...
yep, we were Munich, too ... sounds the same ! good place to live when we were there, guess it still is ... Chris On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 7:33 AM, WEBSTER,...
that rings a bell, now you say it, pretty sure that's what happened with us - ie: builder collected from whoever on his way in one morning ... and we were...
Hi Peter, The workshop vs kitchen is a good approach. I've done similar with a garage+workshop vs kitchen, except its less about the building and more about...
We lived near Wuppertal (Dusseldorf) so central Germany. Same system, but there was more to it. Kitchens for flats at least are standardised. Sink, built under...
... yep, they had & no doubt have these sorts of things very well sorted ! remember, too, how the department stores & sheds carried loads of things for getting...
EMEB were much more helpful. Regional new accounts manager from Derby delivered two of them (his suggestion & a jolly good one) himself. Not quite the huge...
... <snip> ... I guess not, for a set of flats that are all the same. Not quite so ideal if you want a larger flat / apartment, or a different design though...
another thought on this one, picking up on a tangent we went off on on uk_ha ... how about : http://x10-hk.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=192 Chris...
Hi, Just received my combined gas and elecric bill. Electricity is in credit by £40. Gas in debit by £50. But the gas account shows no reference to the ...

The utility companies make a lot of fuss about the need to have meters outdoors - then can't be a**sed to come & read them (or more likely save a few more...
My meter reader was telling me that the utility companies have managed to get the government to change the legislation so that they only have to read meters...
Just re-read my earlier answer and spotted a silly sentence ! WAS : If you think that next quarter's fuel will be at a higher price than this then report a...
There's been quite a debate about power companies charging too much on their direct debits. Seems like some action might finally be in the cards. This was on...

Hi, EDF in France estimated my bill at over £100 twice in a row, which hurt a bit, as we haven't used any since last Summer. It cost us £30 to transfer funds...

I've never really had a problem with this - have used DD's with both Scottish Power and Npower, and have always negotiated a figure I was happy with, which has...
Bit of a raw nerve with me is energy companies and meter readers. The meter reader always turns up at the worst time. It seems like every four weeks but he...
Rob, why not demand they repay you the credit balance. We rarely have our electric meter read - its indoors so I know when it happens. I doubt very much if its...
It's YOUR bank account - they cannot demand more than is reasonable and if they do take more than you have consented just make a claim against the direct debit...
built-in seems to make sense (we have one at the moment, 'though it's currently out of order, needing new brushes) but there are robot run-about ones...
I'm a big fan of Roomba's....I have a 535 at the moment, and it honestly does a surprisingly good job. It's not a substitute for a regular vacuum, but it does...
Hello All, I joined this group yesterday, so I have no idea how it works, and I don't really know who this message is going to, however the more the better. I...
Central Vac system is the best thing we've ever done. So much more powerful, much easier to use as no electric point needed. No heavy machine to lug around....
Trying to determine the thickness of my ground floor slab insulation. I'm aiming for 0.15 W/m2K or maybe even as low as 0.10 if it's worth it? What have...
... I can't, unfortunately offer any work, unless you fancy building an awkward chimney including sundial, later in the summer ;-) my build is very much...
Is it worth it ? Heat rises and the ground never gets really cold. I wouldn't have thought there is much point going over 100mm even if aiming for a no...
My architect has specified 75mm of Polyfoam, which sounds a bit feeble to me. Waiting to see what Building Regs have to say about it, but I'll probably go for...
We have 130mm (was a special price at seconds & co), our slate slab floor never feels cold. I put as much in as I can afford, with the compromise that I need...
