Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?
green bean replied to redjam's topic in The Lounge
If you have velux windows, I’d highly recommend their external blinds - they are black mesh so allow light through but they stop the sun heating up the windows (which then act like radiators). On full sun days we shut all windows in the loft & use both external blinds and internal blackout blinds which significantly reduces the heat. We have shutters with internal thermal blackout blinds on the other window so use these too. Velux also sell external metal shutters (not felt the need to stretch to these - much more expensive). -

I’ve had (free delivery if you spend over £50) from Woodlark Nurseries before. They grow from their nursery in Hersham, Surrey (also open to the public, but now been). Not ordered for a couple of years but the plants I have had have all been great. Stock frequently changes. They also sell compost and pots. They deliver in their own van (so you do have to be available to take delivery). See: http://Woodlarknurseriesretail.com For topsoil, compost and mulch in bulk bags - ordered topsoil and mulch for complete garden makeover last year and these people were excellent. Deliver on pallet to roadside: https://www.fieldcompost.co.uk/

Family holiday - south of France - by train?
green bean replied to stellakis's topic in The Family Room Discussion
We once did Eurostar to Paris (1 night stop), Paris to St Jean de Luz (near Spanish border & Biarritz - lovely town with great beach - 7 night stop), St Jean de Luz to Bordeaux (4 night stop) then Bordeaux to Lille (1 night stop) then home. With a 7 year old. Have done most holidays all over Europe by train for years with growing child - we all love it! Pre-child took sleeper from Lille to Nice then local train on to Antibes. Not sure if that sleeper still runs. Man in Seat 61 has impeccable advice! My top tip, if you have the time is try to stop over for every train change - makes it so much more relaxing not worrying about connections. -

Have new kitchen fitted so time to pass this on. Comes in two parts (top part simply rests on bottom half). Really useful piece of furniture. Could be used in kitchen (we used for all our food storage) or elsewhere. It’s probably about 10-15 years old (can’t quite remember). Hand made in a Shropshire woodworkshop.

Thanks for sharing! Could you provide an Autumn / Winter update as to how your heat pump is working out? Also, did you (have to) upgrade your radiators and pipe work prior to installing your heat pump? Did you upgrade any insulation in the house (loft spaces plus other insulation)?
