    OK, how's about what a homeowner (not a plmber) can do, after discovering PB is the grey plastic piping used extensively throughout this 1946 house, that we bought in 2003, that obviously will need to be replaced by either copper, (which splits if frozen, like it does here in Central Otago) or PEX which I know stuff all about, except to know it's far better than PB. I know that a simple replacement of all the PB pipework underneath (yes I did say underneath) the TWO (wetback boosted) Hot Water Cylinders, a 180 electric with a 4kW booster wetback (from a 16kW Logfire) - and a standard 135L electric, coupled together so that either can be the main cylinder for the house (with the other stopcocked off, and even drained to replace the elements if needed, or simply drained if not to be used for some time, such as through a long cold (potentially frosty) winter, if the house was left unoccupied in the depths of winter.. Or they can BOTH be run in series/parrallel, when the 4 stopcocks are opened totally (two above and two below) allowing both to be controlled either by one element, both elements, or just the wtback (if the fire is driven hard on cold day/nights. The situation often arises where the hot water CIRCULATES from the top of the wetback 4kW cylinder across into the top of the 135L to push colder water out the bottom, back across to the inlet of the 180L to replace the heated water that went out the top pipe. NOW, when it all gets superheated and starts to BOIL iside both cylinders, as well as pulsate roof vented spurts, I KNOW the PB underneath the two cylinders - has often had extremely hot water running along that pipework. I only just found out a couple of nights ago, that when I told the plumber 20 years ago - to install the copper pipe I had already BOUGHT for the job, (myself) he refused to use it stating that this plastic pipe was the recommended pipework for the freeezing conditions we have here in central Otago (yet made no mention that PB was to NEVER be used anywhere near any HWC's, nor on a self-reticulating boiling water circuit, below two large cylinders (interconnected to freeflow between themselves). I knew at the time, he was a nearly retired stubborn old sod, but what can you do? You need a registered plumber, so have to abide by their recomendations. He couldn't give a stuff, as he was about to retire (and died several years after that - so getting any gaurantee back from him now, is impossible) We thus have PB underneath a new concrete floor (well it was new in 2003/2004) which feeds the mains from the street, to the pressure reducing valve and "all" of the interconnecting pipework & cylinder drain pipework, underneath a barely accessible space underneath both cylinders of about ? 350mm max. Laid down on one's side, trying to fix any problem such as cleaning the rust/grit out of the inlet valve strainer, is so bad my arthritis gives me hell for days afterwards. I'd hate to have to redo all that pipework in PEX (even if fit enough, which I am not, even if I could as a "not a plumber" could maybe do, so a plumber would need to do all that. Possible yes, but very expensive. THEN, there is all the HOT & COLD pipework that comes from the rising mains that enters underneath the laundry sink, and which goes underneath the wall/floor of the next-room zero (below floor) crawl-space, wet area shower "room" and up the wall into the dual mixer for the shower pipework above? Then it goes all the way underneath the wet area shower, or maybe it goes around the stone wall, behind the wet area shower panels (I don't know) to come up into the back of the washbasin, (then thanfully it comes via flex hoses to the new mixer sink tap) but the COLD - also continues on around the far wall, to exit via a small hole below the toilet cistern's tank, then upstands a piece of PB and elbows into the float valve... NO TAP to turn the tolet cistern feed off, to replace anything in the cistern itself, (float seal or rubber gaskets etc) So maybe it will be a MASSIVE undertaking, to route the piping where it used to go, or maybe we could "surface run" PEX so that we don't have to replace an entire three walls of the walk-in-shower's wet-area. Your thoughts coud prove invaluable. Oh & we are two older type superannuitants, without extensive finances behind us, yet all our current bills are (mostly) paid off... It's just that now with every rising cost and our rates increasing over 35% this year - our cashflow isn't very good, if it flows at all....

    OK, so what about one that' positione at the END of a 7.5M wide building, that is no more than 4M to the BASE of a very high concrete wall, on top of which is an extra height corrugated iron rence? Making the pad at the end of the house 4x 7.5 = 30sq M exactly. The PERGOLA would thus be UNDER the height of the top of the fence, (which borders a road/street) and thus is thoroughly inside the confines of the property at the end of the house, meaning it's height "above" any existing structure would be a MINUS figure, so could it therefore butt hard up against the base of the concrete wall itself? The top of the wall "leans towards the road, as it is NOT a parallel structure, but wider at it's base and thinner at the top of the concrete which is a minimum (up there) of 150mm on top of which sits a 125mm thick post and corrugated iron fence. The concrete pad (as that's all that grows there) is fully from the house to the base of the concrete, (4M) with a faint fall towards the wall, so that rain/snow etc cannot drain towards the house, but away from it, to then run down along a gutter at the wall, before draining down the driveway away from the wall, past the house, into the back garden where it soaks in. We also get rain draining in from the street, to join at the end of the wall. As an aside, as I am now in a wheelchair, so we "park" the car such that I can transfer from the car into the house (as easily as possible with one leg), to get into my "chair" inside the door. Oh and the view is irrelevant as there is a dirty great MOUNTAIN directly across the road from the house so sunlight/sky views aren't all that great after 4pm. So having a pergola "blocking" that view is also irrelevant. Nothing on the hill, except scrubby bushes, lots of rabbits, a few tame and stray cats and farmed GOATS, yeah they run goats on there as it's too steep for anything else. Hence why we wanted a pergola (roofed with clearlight) to avoid the adverse weather when I go to & from the car/wheelchair. Thus - what's your view? 30square meters at the maximum, footed directly onto an existing pad, Oh and yes, we are resident in the best part of NZ - at it's mainland center.

    I did this and it is really nice to be able to transfer the heat, however, the wood fire does generate a fair amount of smoke and dust / soot which is normal for any wood fire. To try to counter this, I installed a 2mm carbon filter screen at the lounge inlet vent, so that it won't suck up the dust and soot and smoke. It worked great, BUT after doing that I noticed the system heat transfer is about 50% less effective. Basically, anything filtering the air reduces the heat transfer - so you have a choice to make, transfer everything including the soot, or transfer the cleaner air, but only half the heat... ;-( Overall, this system is not really ideal - but it is cheap. If you can afford it I would recommend a better way to go with clean heat pumps ducted. More expensive, but cleaner.
