Glad you like the pond- there is a small stream but this only used with a pump so yes it is 'stagnant ' as such although it never really is- more fish than you can wish for and full of life!

Thank you. It truly looks amazing. Is it a natural body of water as such or is there liners etc. all used to capture the water and create the pond? Looks like many years of care and attention to get to this point.

Hi Catherine, Every year there is a trade show called "Eco build". I visit every few years as I find it doesn't vary too much from year to year. It is in London and it is usually held in March. It is where I go to find suppliers of all my eco products and get new connections / see new products. This link shows all of the contributors that were there this year:http://www.ecobuild.co.uk/exhibitors I have used 2 companies in the past and wouldn't recommend them so I won't be putting their names here (don't worry they aren't on the list), but I would definitely search through this list and call a few people who you connect with and start the research process. I think your ideas are fantastic. Don't give up and don't let anyone tell you that its a bad idea / it doesn't work / its not worth it etc. Have fun and keep us all updated! Jo

The 2 windows are they same or being replaced by patio doors to garden? If so, which is a door? If not doors, I'd want the windows to be the same for cohesion in the space. Maybe a layout like this, banquet bench type dining area could maybe work?

Water softener vs Water conditioner? Any thoughts?

Most water softeners are a retro installation so I can't see any reason why a softener can't be installed with the only compromise being the location and many modern softeners are more compact than the older softeners. I wouldn't let not being left any plans for the plumbing deter you (but i'd still get them as they're your property) as a competant plumber should be able to figure out how your hot and cold pipework is run, its not rocket science. Get a quote from a few plumbers and then send the bill to your builders and plumber with a threat of a CCJ and see if that spurs them on to send you all the plans (inc plumbing and wiring) for your property as they've breached the agreed contract you had with them. Never heard of these conditioners, but you know that water softeners work and they actually make a difference. Looking on line at the differences did highlight that 'conditioned water won’t permanently stay conditioned. It will quite quickly return to an unconditioned state. So, if it is used in conjunction with stored water, i.e. a tank in the loft or a hot water tank, scale will still develop' taken from https://www.sjwatersofteners.co.uk/whats-the-difference-between-a-water-softener-water-conditioner/ You might find this interesting (american site so UK water is possibly better quality?) https://waterfiltercast.com/water-conditioner-vs-water-softener/

Oh that's weird, the post looked old. It's a little hard to say to much without seeing the whole space / project but in term's of materials you should be looking at MR MDF (MR stands for moisture resistant). I used to do lots of bespoke work as www.exploitspace.com but have moved away from that. I think the point I was making is that you need to be using prefaced and edged MR MDF and given how the materials market has changed it shouldn't be hard to find a find somebody who could do this at a reasonable price. I get my pre-cut and edged MR MDF from https://cworkshop.co.uk/ but you will need a design as somebody to assemble it for you. last time I was collecting some materiel i got talking to another customer called https://www.bournebespoke.com/ he may be able to help. I may also be able to help but I would need to be able to give the project a very quick assessment. Jon
