He's good at email too. He was on site a lot but we live very very close to him so this was probably due to convenience. My only real issue with him is time and I never pressured him enough.

Em Re: My buckingham palace - all moved in!!! 211Oct 20, 2009 1:28 pm We paid for the upgrade in the belief we were getting zoned heating. That never turned out to be what was represented to us by the girl at NBG. However saying that when the tradesman installed the unit he did somehow put it so we can turn the bedrooms on and off at the controls. The big central room is zoned with the rest of the house. I have closed the vent on the downstairs bedroom. We usually leave the zone for the bedrooms upstairs off. Fi has moved in!! Re: My buckingham palace - all moved in!!! 212Oct 20, 2009 1:44 pm Same here Mel & Em, We paid to upgrade to zoned heating with the belief that we could actually turn off 1 zone and have the other on and vice versa as per the advice we received from the colour selection CSR at NBG. However, this isnt the case at all. Zone A covers the entire ground floor and has to be on if you're using heating. However, you can opt to turn off Zone B at any time which covers the upstairs. This means that if you choose to use heating during the night to all bedrooms, you will also have the heater running downstairs. However, this is still preferable than having the upstairs area as Zone A cause with tiles on the ground floor, the heating isnt as stiffling when compared with the carpeted areas upstairs. Brit your note about being above the garage and having less insulation makes a lot of sense. We just got a call from Bonaire, they'll be coming by today before 5pm. Will let you know what he says. Also does the noise of the garage door opening disturb anyone else sleep in the Master bedroom? Dh opened the garage this morning at 6.30am and i almost jumped out of bed ![]() ![]() Re: My buckingham palace - all moved in!!! 213Oct 20, 2009 2:34 pm I'm usually the one up early and HE hasn't left me any space to park in HIS garage. I've never been woken up by him coming home late at night though. I barely notice the garage door coming up though and until he walks in the door don't know he is home. Fi has moved in!! Re: My buckingham palace - all moved in!!! 214Oct 20, 2009 2:42 pm Should I mention that HE backed into HIS garage door the other day. It's left an almost invisible dint. He thought I didn't see it and was quite mortified when I pointed out that I did. Very flimsy garage doors and I shouldn't speak too soon as on that slope the next time it will be me.
