Heating is an accessory? The new tech associated with central heating compared to 50 years ago is night and day. The building materials have changed, the regulations have changed. Houses have better insulation, soundproofing, fire guarding, plumbing, electrical circuitry like how is this even a discussion.
Oh we don't have timber framed housing here, my house is concrete and the 50 year old house I was in, probably closer 100, was a stone cottage.
The new house has exactly those things you listed. I'm fairly certain they have to be in all new builds where I am. Though the solar is optional, we have a heat pump instead.
That's a load of nonsense, experienced builder or not. Heating is part of building a house just like the other plumbing, electrical and joinery work.
I'm very happy for you in your made up home, but central heating and plumbing and requirements for construction where I live.
It is definitely more a part of the house than an appliance in that it is built into the house during it's construction by the builders. Ranges are not the same as indoor plumbing, are you sure you're a builder? You can add and remove walls after the fact too but it doesn't make them an accessory in the sense that you are trying to claim.
You were right, the other person’s a moron.
That place of perpetual summer being imaginary I'm sure it's lovely.
Was that second part supposed to insult me by incorrectly guessing my home and what I'm guessing is view of vaccines?
I don't know what I'm talking about but you're arguing against 50 years of material sciences progression and that in door plumbing is an accessory.
If there is an electrical problem I call an electrician, if there is a plumbing problem I call a plumber etc
You are aware that plumbing is heating? Pipework, tanks etc. plumbers are more than sewage.
You are surely the only man in the world in construction and your experience is exactly the only and true one.
