It was left in the old house prior to demolition and was getting in the way ever since. I just hung it there until I thought of a use for it. It’s round the back of the garden room now.

With the help of a digger driver site strip & foundations. I did 50% of the brickwork on 2 houses I used my lads to help me I had a team of chippies in for the first fix ( I wish I’d done it myself) We had a great team of plasterers. Electrics and plumbing from my mate who has the second house. Windows and doors supply and fit from a national supplier. Painting and decorating from another friend. I hate painting and he is 3 times quicker and the quality is outstanding. I fitted the kitchen and bathroom units. I did all of the floor tiling and wooden floors. I did all of the landscaping. (I really enjoyed that) GRP roof by a specialist Roof tiling by another mate. We are nearly finished now and getting ready for sign off. The garden office ( man cave) is being plastered at the end of this month This was originally the site office and has served us well.

C’mon the landscaping is the fun stuff.

I feel your pain. I now have some schweger temporary bat boxes if you need them. You may be lucky and get away with a bat box built into the gable end, this is not too intrusive but if they identify brown long eared bats you may need to provide a bat loft. I built our 2 houses at the edge of a 502 house new development and these are the only 2 houses with any bat mitigation provisions. I ended up paying over £9k to the ecologists but the hammer was the delays that led us into the 10% inflation era. That really hit the pocket.

So does mine. Then it’s wipe down time switch the hob off then on again but any moisture left switches it off again then when switched back on we have no control over the temperatures etc. . Apart from that it’s brilliant.

I don’t like my Bosch one very much. If water spills over then it goes nuts. I’ll have to stick with it for now as I have no gas supply.

You can’t do that these days. You have to call a spade a spade.

I’m sorry but that is the worst insulation system that I have ever used for so many reasons. Xtratherm used to have a similar product maybe they just changed the name.

They may have stone cills to install afterwards and are using insulation as a prop for the blockwork. There will be a reason.

10mm in the midlands

Or drill and fix ties

That looks like a great product. I’ve not seen these before. Ancon products are fantastic but cost is high. Alternatives are usually available at less than half the price. Just gotta find them. 😜

Ask your bricky if he can sort it ?

As long as it’s well supported like @Russell griffiths said then that’s all the support it needs. Carry on with the infill. I usually wrap some foam around the vertical pipe if it passes through concrete or screed.

Not according to our beam and block manufacturer and the NHBC inspector today. I see the sense in it though.
