My wife/brother in-law are building their own house in Somerset ( he's from

letter box at the bottom of the front door. In ireland thats illegal , the
postmen were hurting there backs, it must be up high. He also tells me , he
won't have water tanks & that everything will be fed from the mains, toliets
etc. Thats not allowed here either. Thought that was strange.

Never heard of a letterbox rule in the UK (so I suspect it's allowed
whereever); there's certainly no problem with not having any water tanks.
