Yes I found it quite good and insightful and concluded that unless you are doing a true self build ie PM and employing all trades individually yourself, then there is little to be concerned about with CDM. In my case, as I see it, my PD is my architect in conjunction with the SE who have devised the technical design drawings which should after revisions submitted today be approved very soon by building control. I will then employ a single contractor (PC) who will manage the build on my behalf and appoint all trades necessary to complete the build. This could of course be the first time I have been wrong ?

@Bitpipe One of my Ts is going into rental caravans as a semi-retirement job, and picked up her first caravan when she was down on a site chatting with a friend already doing it and a 7x couple were selling their holiday van. The site owners really make some of their money at entry and exit from the scene. @Appleco But at present many are mothballed for the winter :-), so an ad somewhere may be the best way to find someone planning to sell.

I'm just about to put mine on ebay or similar - it was bought off a local site from the owners who felt it was a bit chinzy for rentals.

FFS it's ME! There's really no rush!

Use clothes pegs 30mm apart and line up the trims. Run some insulation tape over the joint to stop any excess bond from escaping and stitch it with spot welds of mitre bond. Wait 5 mins and remove pegs. Repeat for the gaps in between any shes a good 'un. ? Edit to add : obviously you'll need to cut the mitres on the front strip and assemble this during the tiling process as and when practicable.

My architect rode off into the sunset a long ago and he's not coming back, so it looks like I'm the client, PD, project manager, health and safety manager, QS, and sweeper up'er. I'm not going to loose sleep over it.
