Like a 5-10mm gap width wise? It’s under 4.500mm wide overall once studs and insulation are fitted.

No, not going the underfloor heating route

Hi, I’m hoping to re-use the existing old T&G floorboards from my Small Mission Hall on top of new insulated RC floor slab. this is assuming I’ll be able to get most up in a reasonable condition. I don’t mind a bit of raggedy! 🤣 Wondering what then are the best options for fixing them down? Floor area is about 34m sq Have them laid as a floating floor? Use some form of self contact adhesive to fix direct to the concrete? Fix battens down first to the concrete and then fix the floorboards to the battens? Any other options/suggestions or recommendations?

Yeah, nice – I’m liking the side window stoves like the Morso 7443 😎

Thanks, but a little bit too traditional looking wise for what I’m after

You mean something like the Bradgate 9305-C?

Nice, yeah I’m not after the more traditional styled soves, so yeah, this works style-wise for me 😎

Nice-looking stoves 😎

any recommendations on stoves that do or have this?

Hi, I’m looking at getting a clean-burning 5 kw Wood/Multifuel stove as part of my Small Mission Hall renovation project in the Outer Hebrides (no, I don’t have access to a peat bank) Unfortunately, I didn’t realise just how many different options and makes of stoves that exist out there! 😳 Hoping that I might be able to get a bit of advice or recommendations as to ones that are worth looking at (or avoiding!), to try and help narrow down my search a little… Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated!

don't suppose anyone knows of a bowstring truss calculator or anything? 🤣

sorry, yes, I meant as in supporting a small mezzanine floor!

OK, I’m wondering if this is even possible there, so please bear with me on this… not a huge span (4.500mm), the max depth in the centre is around 360mm, and the max depth at the ends of 115mm. Would this be possible?

OK, to make things easier if anyone is interested, you can follow progress here… https://www.smallmissionhall.com/

True, I’m just not a fan of plasterboard as a surface finish. I’m the 0.01% who wants something else 🤣
