Re: Friday Beergarden Meetup 2.May Löwenbräukeller (Munich)

We had close to 40 people there on Friday, including a few newbies from Meetup.com. So a happy night. Let's hope the next Friday weather is nice too.
Thanks EditorL for fixing things.

Re: House renovation experience/Förderungen (grants)

I'm not getting under floor heating installed. It's nice to have, and very efficient. But not at all necessary. Really old radiators are not very efficient though. And worth getting modern efficient ones. Some installers want 10k or more for the whole house. But I'm paying ~3.5k to replace all the o...

Re: House renovation experience/Förderungen (grants)

Yes. There might not be any need to do much. In my case I'm trying to keep my monthly bills down. Heating being the biggest. Regarding heat pumps, you can look at the cost of installation and calculate how long it would take to pay back. For some people it's not worth it. I'm getting solar panels to...

Re: Home Printer

Re: House renovation experience/Förderungen (grants)

Does anyone have any experience of renovating a house and available energy efficiency grants? I'm getting grants for upgrades to the old house I just bought. But for selling, as they are saying, might not be worth upgrading. It can get crazy expensive. With the grants subtracted, you'll pay, Heat p...

TWAS the night before Wiesn
