Holywood Passive ICF Build

Is it just me but I can't get the videos to play.

 

Well done on the demo - I got my 3 bed detached taken down in SE England for £5k from the contractor who was doing the basement - as their whole package was £120k, was easy enough for them to discount to win the business. 

 

I looked into recycling but no-one was interested - materials were not that special and I was not even able to give away 1500 unused 1950s bricks that I found on site from the original build.

I don't think they uploaded properly, I don't seem to have the option to delete and retry.

The admins made it so you can only edit for an hour, to stop spammers.

Just try to reload them on another new comment in this post.

I think i might accept the £4 offer if it happens with me ???.

£4k!!

Still might take it.

 

Did you do at all OK from the disposals?

 

When my dad moved his factory from one of the old Raleigh Company mills in Nottingham, they did a deal on "I keep on bits I remove first and you take the rest away," It was full of Victorian bricks and iron windows, so both sides did OK. Slight;y different kettle of fish. 4 storeys 7500 sqft per storey.

 

There is still a big pile of 9' x 18' pitch pine beams in a field at the our old house, from the demolition in 1993.

Not sold anything yet. Have an offer of 30p per brick for 3000, but holding out for 50p for the lot (15k or so). Cleaned Belfast brick sells for about £1 a brick of I can be bothered cleaning and stacking on to pallets. Haven't actually advertised, just had a few drive by offers.

 

It did mean I was able to build my electric kiosk for cheap.

Now that's a good idea. I don't have a house to demolition but I do have some old bricks on site that would otherwise go in to a skip. I could keep some for an electrical kiosk and perhaps even some planters.

 

Thanks!

If that becomes an issue do say so.

 

It is going to cause me problems as I have at least on blog article which is periodically updated, but I am hoping to find workarounds.

 

I am not aware that spammers were particularly a problem amongst bloggers, who by definition are usually established members.

 

(Unless you count all my posts as spam)

I noticed that on the last blog entry, I hope the admins can change it back.

 

Sometimes I have typos which I spot later.

You are doing well!

Well done, it's time consuming but saves a lot of money. We dismantled our old bungalow and gave away all the bricks, blocks and timber. We crushed the rubbish blocks and concrete and used it on site. The biggest cost for us was asbestos removal.
