Homebuilding and Renovating Show

Untitled DocumentJust got my Free tickets for the Homebuilding and Renovating Show thanks to John Edmunds at Welsh Oak Frame.

We will be going up to the Excel in London next Friday, this is our 2nd visit since we bought our plot, our planning application started that long ago I reckon a lot of the technology we had chosen will be out of date now.

There are a number of products I need to research, like every one else at the moment I am concerned about the rising cost of utilities in particular heating. As we plan on living in the new house for at least the next 10 to 15 years I am going to look at the overall cost of heating over that period of time when choosing a heat source so that is no 1 on my list.

I am pretty sure we are going to have some form of rain/waste water collection for washing and flushing the toilets so that will be no.2 on my list. My other areas of interest are CCTV and security, TV and audio, home automation and kitchen gadgets.

Having said that I will be on the look out for anything innovative, problem with innovation is the cost!

I will report my findings next weekend.
