Are you married? Everything I know from grand designs is that you may soon will not be.

Congrats on the foundations though!

This is so much better than trying to turn the town water plant into a residence.

(wow it's been a long time since I watched those)

That one was mental.

The other one that I remember distinctly was the single dad in London building 2 stories down under a historic building in a graveyard so he could have a house to spend time with his son in (by the time he finished his son was in college.)

Newest season of grand designs just kicked off this week. I feel like this could have been a solid episode for it.

I’m curious, how will you be heating the house? Gas fired heating? Oil? Tesla?

Wheelbarrows of cash?

also i realise I've hosed up and havent done the wave sensors on either front or back door inside or outside. I can fix it but its annoying.

So the doors are going to unlock automatically via housebrain in the case of certain datapoints being established but they won't actually physically disengage the locks until a final "handshake" which is going to be waving a hand either vertically or horizontally past a sensor. The alternative will alert the house to a danger state and whatever protocols will thusly be followed. So I need the handwave sensors.

I laughed so hard when they interviewed the person running the certification evaluation and she said that she was bad at math and failed the test to become an evaluator but that the other way to become an evaluator is to just build an ecohouse!

When the crew came to fit my fibre I gave them a full bottle of isopropyl because they didn't have any for cleaning the fibre connection and I felt sorry for them.

Yeah, despite telling them multiple times before hand that they'd need to put a hole through concrete the ones that came to my place didn't have any concrete bits and I ended up lending them one of mine.

Wait all of this cabling and it’s not even symmetrical fiber? How is a place that’s purpose built to be a node in a Russian botnet operation supposed to work with upload like that?
