Phone call today

to say someone is coming to sort out the outstanding jobs next week, can hardly contain my excitement, however I have been here before so will pace myself.

Had a nice man from UEA call yesterday who found a few irregularities that I will need to raise. Most disappointing is my energy use we believe is correct which no matter how much you dress it up still doesn't mean cheaper bills for tenants, I still have to follow this up with Brandon who has been recorded as stating it does, our GYBC most recently in the latest magazine and Penny who have all quoted the same, and that's without Eric's contribution still I will get to it. The energy consumption is good and it is good for the climate and fuel however there is not a financial benefit to the tenant, this is a shame as I am sure a small modification could do both - lets hope in future builds this happens for the initial outlay the gains would outway costs even for LA

It seems the Summertime switch is stuck on, the thermostat is reading wrong and possibly the heating duct is not carrying the hot air to the two bedrooms, our filters need changing and we have a massive hot water tank continually heating which is overkill. Don't get me wrong, I love this house even though it transpires its not a Passive haus but merely using some of the components used in a  , and it is extremely well insulated, nice area and neighbours and I wouldn't change any of that we have no damp or mould, limited space but that's our fault for hoarding. We are grandparents to pets three cats and a dog so all the plus and none of the responsibility - how good is that.

The garden is coming on nicely and even the area where the soil is, we thought not so good the plants are flourishing, must have something to do with the spiders, which are massive here, and yes I do mean massive, thank god we are air tight, I have it so bad that I am known to pass out and on occasion am physically sick when I see them.
