Pro-tip for laying cable, minimize the number of right angles so it's easier to run them through the pipes.

Might've been more efficient wiring-wise to just have secondary fuse boxes. But a bit too late for that. Well, until the sparky turns up and gets a heart attack.

is modular housing even a thing? like i know there's lots of prefab stuff but actual modular housing seemed to be that one gimmick hotel in tokyo (where else) and not much else

vanity slug
Jul 20, 2010

yeah that's what i meant, the prefab stuff is very common here (it's just way more efficient), the project just reminded me more of Nakagin Capsule Tower Building

we have shipping container housing here as well but just for temporary / student accommodation, it's very airtight and easily deployable in an L-shape

Agree - but you really have to design it well. Some houses goes all in on the black cladding, and you can quickly go full retard



can't find a pic now but there's a bunch of places over here where it looks like they just had some spare rooftop tiles and decided to use them as cladding instead

Is this some kind of Passivhaus deal anyway? I watched a guy on Grand Designs last night whose build took as long as this one, but it was 800m², had enough solar to power the rest of their village, and was going for some kind of Ultra-Passiv cert that noone else in Britain has ever gotten. Pretty sure if you farted in that house at Christmas you'd still be smelling the Brussels sprouts in April

seems absolutely insane lmao, 800m2!

ok yeah is interesting and I possibly do want something like that as well, but it does not solve the problem.

The smart meter is essential. The smart meter is the bit that tells the energy company exactly when I took the power, i.e. when it was free/negative cost. I can do all sorts of smart poo poo my end but without the smart meter relaying my live half hourly usage I'm not getting paid.

Do UK smart meters have an externally readable interface? I have one of these and it's really neat.
