    With rising energy costs

    How well insulated is your house ?
    Has anyone got Solar panels or does anyone live in a passive house.
    Our house is an early 70s detached house.
    We have the cavity walls filled with blown insulation.
    Loft insulated and our windows apart from kitchen window and the patio door are treble glazed.
    Our composite door is crap, can't wait to change that.
    Thinking of over insulating the concrete floor, when we change the laminate floor.

    My wife still think's it's cold, I'm sitting here in my shorts and no top.
    The house builders in Ireland have got much higher standards than us, we should stride towards this.
    The Germans and Sweden, windows and doors put ours to shame.

    Well I am not sitting in shorts and no top but I agree with your post...Our house is over seventy years old and was built with poured concrete.
    Masonry nails with lump hammer is only way to drive a nail into the wall......

    Our family originated from Ireland, then moved to Scotland, then my Grandad moved to Mansfield where my Dad was born.
    After Dad got injured at Arnhem , he moved to Smethwick where his elder brother lived and met my Mom.
    Never been to Ireland, should pay it visit.
    My twin brother has got tickets to see a Irish singer Nathon Carter this weekend.

    It's expensive.......and right now it's cold and wet.
    I lived on the isle of wight for nearly ten years....and found parts of the island reminded me of Ireland.......loved that part of the UK....

    Never heard of Nathon Carter...?

    Very true! Hadn't realised this myself until I started doing family history research with my brother. Our DNA analysis certainly supported this too (now I know where my appreciation of Guiness and certain musicians comes from&#128512
