£200 . and its the right size for jumbo bag

The danger with a self build, is it becomes all consuming. Taking a bit of time out sometimes does wonders... Despite having a long list of things to do, they were all put aside today as we went searching for puffins. Glad to say we found some Enjoy...

Jetfloor is now mostly in - the final insulation will go in later. The tricky part was the positioning of the large (420kg - we have a span of 5.5m) ground beams. We hired a 17m telehandler for the day, but lining it up so it was central to the building was a problem. It also tended to nip the dpc in places, resulting in lots of to-ing and fro-ing. The insulation thickness will vary between 80mm above the beams to 230mm between them. With a P/A (perimeter to area) ratio of 0.46, this results in an overall U value of 0.15.

Put a £50 sign on it. It will be gone next day.

Only in the same way as British rail.

He wasted the last of his SBR by leaving it in an open jug.

My Sister is here for the week. Part of me says "bugger, I can't get on with the house" but it least I will be doing something different, including hopefully a day on the boat. Dolphins from a week ago (seen from the boat)

Went for a smaller than intended radius in the end (whatever the Rocol tin is) and used the Bosch jig saw. Tight but could sort of get the saw going then "bend" the blade. Had to cut the back one with the saw upside down. Then 60 grit paper in the orbital:

?

After reading Nick's comment ref plane blades I went and looked at mine (Bosch). Lo & behold they are reversible! Result thought I so duly turned them round. I've had the plane for umpteen years and didn't realise. Switched it on to do the tree house steps and motor was spinning but NOT the blades.....broken belt!

See if you have a tattoo suppliers near you. We use the black nitrile disposable gloves and they last far longer than any others and they also have a fingertip grip. Not cheap at about £8 for a box of 100 but they are far better

The pics are a bit out of order £100 per metre refers to the slate tiles behind the stove Think he gave me the 4m he had spare for 70 squids! They were 15/20mm think and really heavy. They act like a storage heater after the stove has been on all evening they radiate heat through the night.

D4 and PU, all terms / names for the same product. Moisture curing, expanding ( aka gap filling ) single part glue. PVA is a totally different thing, and water based. On bigger floors I use a mosaic trowel ( 3mm notch ) and apply a layer of resin / PVA wood glue onto the floor where the ply is to be overlaid, so you get a near solid bed of glue. Then I screw at at least 100mm centres for a sound nights sleep. The 'normal' wood glues go off slowly, ( unlike the PU's which give you literally minutes ), so with water-based your not counting each second when working. Plus you don't get that god forsaken PU stuff on your hands Also don't forget to liberally glue the abutting joints! Not many people, especially 'occasional tilers' ( including wa***ers who just own tiling tools ), fully appreciate the importance of this process, and then the customer pays the price down the line when the grout lines start cracking, and then the tiles. Seen it many times, and the aftermath. Tiles are for life, not just for Xmas

That looks like seriously more hard work than is actually necessary. Shovelling tons of soil a metre in the air? Sheesh. Needs a ramp and a wheelbarrow, maybe, combined with an inclined drum.

Sounds like we have our first candidate for a vlogger ..!!
