Today, after a longer than usual break, the eco hat “fresh air” vent is blowing an absolutely abhorrent smell into the house.
Not much more to say on this. We’ve reported it, Wes from George WImpey has experienced it at full whiff, and Nuaire can neither explain or fix it.
Bit of a hit and miss, good and bad start to the week for us and our Oxley Woods eco house.
On the good side we had the guys around Yesterday to fix the damaged ducting behind our medicine cabinet which has meant the extraction part of our eco hat has never been properly working since [...]
What a start to the day today.
A Nuaire rep came around following a smells from our eco hat pretty quickly, couldn’t find anything wrong with the filter, did discover other problems (more on that soon!) and changed the filters, despite saying he couldn’t really see a problem with them.
The smell did seem to go, or [...]
Well, our Eco Hat still smells. But not so much.
Yesterday (Thursday) one of the George Wimpey guys made his way onto our roof in our absence and took apart the filter and “hatch” on the eco hat. It turns out the filter was, in his words, both filthy and clogged. This filter [...]
Following on from my earlier post about our smelly Nuaire eco hat.
We hadn’t heard a response to our call this morning, so after lunch I called the George Wimpey site manager (who is on site here at the Oxley Woods development) to see what the situation was. I got an answer and apology for [...]
Although I’m not entirely sure where “there” is, but it’s nice to know we’re not alone in our situation, or at least some of it.
What the events of last week say about modern culture in the UK I have no idea, but I had a knock at the door from someone who lives just down [...]
I should work for the red tops with such pun mastery as this.
Anyway, today the meeting that never was, twice, finally took place. Almost all were present and correct, representing the builders corner were the site manager, customer service manager from Taylor Wimpey, architect (but from Taylor Wimpey and NOT from Rogers Stirk Harbour + [...]
So it seems things are being taken ever more seriously by those involved in the design and construction of our Oxley Woods eco house, and finally the meetings that never happened are due, again, to happen tomorrow.
Confirmed today, just to be sure, tomorrow we can expect to be visited by management and staff from Taylor [...]
So, we’ve been very slow to make a start on this, mostly because of the old saying that when you’re in interesting or busy times, you don’t have time to write about them, which is why I guess many blogs are entirely boring to read.
We’re hoping this wont be entirely boring, but no doubt it [...]
