Show us your mills

[difflock]

125m2 of concrete down today to house my Baker Bluestreak 3036E.

(I have so far chickened out of filling in the forms for the 3PH Mains connection.)

Though sensibly need to explore it before I invest in an Genset.

Though not quite sure where to set the limit.

i.e

If a gen set costs "x" £stg, is 2*x, or 3*x justified/justifible for a 3ph connection.

that is say guessing £6,000.00 for a Genset, could £12,000.00 or £18,000.00 be justified for a Mains connection.

Suppose I need to get a kWHr price first, against what a Genset ud cost to run.

Edit

There is` another reason for perhaps wishing the 3PH Mains connection.

To run the heatpump for ground source heating on the RHI Scheme.

Then I sell ALL my firewood, for Guiness tokens.

Yep we had it built but it works fine for what we want. Great for building a bench on the customers drive from a recently felled tree :-)

would you not be better off getting a biomass boiler, i think that the RHI payments are better, but not 100% sure. Is your house well insulated with underfloor heating? that will give best efficiency for heat pumps, i have looked at a few installs with a renewable's company i work with in ireland and they will not touch a big old house ran off radiators as it will be not much better than 1 to 1 electric heating!!

That's a big log! Also hope that's not a nail?

from memory this is what appeared, fortunately discovered with metal detector & extracted b4 blade found it! posted this before, the catch was incorporated into the green oak build of workshop and garage
