How can they stop you carrying goods for someone else?
-
The other possibility would be to contact any removal companies. See if they have anyone moving off the island and offer them a load going the other way? Actually this sounds like an idea for a small business. Must be lots of people crossing with empty or part empty Van's. Perhaps one already exists?

Take a saw and straight edge? If you mark both sides of any cuts you can put them back together for minimal gaps later.

Depending on how bad the wet rot is I would be asking my wife how badly she wants to live there. Then get quotes to replace whole roof and use that to haggle the price.

High density 7n brick piers for cabin
Temp replied to Mike_M's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
On my outbuilding I dug 2ft x 2ft holes. Compacted soil at the bottom of the holes using a ram, then put in 4" of MOT Type 1 hardcore I had left over from another job, also rammed. Then 100mm of concrete ( or rather I put concrete in until the level was right which was about 100-150mm depending on the hole). My out building is timber framed with oak posts and cladding and a clay tiled roof.- 1 reply

This suggests the 7.5 ton van is big enough.. http://www.dontpanicyoureonlymoving.com/the-diy-mover/what-size-van-do-i-need 1200cubic feet is about 33cubic meters. If you don't fancy driving consider looking for a "man with a van" service.?

I think you can drive a Luton type van in a regular license. They are/were around 16cubic meters. Perhaps you can find a big enough van for one trip across the Solent. Van hire can be pretty cheap sometimes.

Perhaps box it with Wedi board and tile it?
-
It's measured by digging a hole and filling with water. As I recal the BRE guide has details of the procedure.

I think only aerogel is better than PIR. That's very expensive and in it's best form its fragile.

First google hit says they deliver to some parts of Wales and if I've done my sums right it's under £17 /sqm inc VAT. Free delivery over £400. Otherwise £40. https://www.cutpriceinsulation.co.uk/collections/pir/products/quinn-therm-pir-insulation-1200-x-2400-x-150mm Edit: Ah ok the Wales reference had me confused. I see you are on IOW.

CIL response timiing
Temp replied to LSL's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
+1 I assume this is a knock down and replace? They are saying the new build will be smaller than the one you are demolishing so there is no cil to pay. Is that the case? This is better than using the self build exemption because there are no strings (no need to live there for 3 years after completion). -
Is CIL Accumalative?
Temp replied to Freddieab's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
I believe the extension would be treated as a new and separate calculation. It's under 100sqm so the CIL would not apply. Even if it did (eg a 113sqm extension) there is an exemption for "self build" extensions. However you have to claim the exemption using the right forms or you become liable to pay it. -

Temp replied to Freddieab's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
Im pretty sure you have that wrong. My understanding is that the 100sqm rule is just a test not an allowance. It applies to the new area before deducting the demolished area. So the calculation would be.. 120sqm is more than 100sqm so the CIL applies to all 120sqm. Then the 25sqm is deducted giving a CIL liability on 95sqm. PS the 25sqm building must be in lawful use to be counted. Eg it must be legal in planning terms. -

Temp replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in Other Heating Systems
I was going to switch to smaller cylinders but someone pointed out they have a lower flow rate and we gave a 6 ring hob. It's rare for them all to be used at once but has happened. -
+1 Standard blocks these days are 440*215*100. Given you only need 40 the price wont be super critical so i'd probably go to somewhere convenient like wickes and pick up some 3.6N blocks if you are going to knock it down later.
