Hi, Can anyone tell me if you have used Unipipe for geothermal? They seem to be very competitive and good quality but I would love to hear from anyone that has used their system!

Thanks Muzaway. I think we are going to fly into san diego and then hire a car and drive down into mexico! If anyone else has done this I would love to hear about it! Or any other info on west coast mexico would be great!

Muzaway have you ever been to Baja or the west coast of Mexico? Any tips or suggestions where to go?

The Punter - where abouts did you get the wolfblass?

My sister has a wooden frame house and has an open fire! So I don't know why you say only gas fire??

Hi, we were in Barcelona recently. We stayed in this apartment [broken link removed] It was 300 for 3 nights but it will sleep 4 people and has a fold out couch so could sleep 6! It's right in the middle of Barcelona and we found it great. Also check this website [broken link removed] It has...

Polo1, you could have used a contractor to do it for that much I would think? I mean you are paying roughly 140 per sq foot which seems quite high for direct labour!

Well Salmon we haven't given to any contractors as yet. Did you get any costs from contractors? Our architect told us 100 per sq foot for a contractor- don't know how true this is! I would say even more.. What stage are you at Salmon and how much do you think your build will cost?

Our architect told us rougly 75 per sq foot to have house ready to move in! this would be say for 3100 sq foot - 232,500. We are going direct labour and hope to do alot of work ourselves. Also we will just...

also we are looking at whether to use blocks or go with wooden frame... Anyone have opinions on this?

Hi Plane, Thanks for this - you make it sound too easy! We sent in the plans yesterday, think its 3100. How did you manage to keep the costs so low? Most people say its about €75 per sq foot... Any chance of a rough breakdown on costs? Thanks

Frank this is what I think too but there is no point being in a big house that we can't afford and then being miserable! I really don't know what to do at this stage. We are getting married in September also which doesn't help financially!

Thanks Moneyworry - I think its best to go down in size rather than killl ourselves worrying about it!

We are hoping to do it for 200,000... this is probably not realistic though! My husband to be can do the Tiling and any other work possible on the house.. We don't want to get in debt over this so maybe the best thing is to go back to the architect and say we can't afford to do it?

Hi, We are soon to start building our first house. The Architect has made it bigger than we originally wanted. It's now 3066 Sq ft Approx. dormer Can anyone tell me what would be the costs involved - a ball park figure? We have no children as yet, so we would just leave upstairs plastered and...
