At the moment I regret not walking away when Putin invaded Ukraine then I would have avoided all the agro with Batman and the section 106 agreement that has held everything up for 10 weeks. Hopefully I’ll get planning next week and I will be feeling better about it all. Then the clock starts ticking again while I wait for natural England to process my bat licence.

Mainly due to the retaining clips that are 10 - 12 mm wide and also there is no room to get a trowel in at an angle to remove any snots from the back of the masonry.

As above provide a cavity with a cavity closer inside of the door to prevent thermal bridging.

Nod was talking about the 10 mm gap left in the 100 mm cavity after your Kingspan has been installed.

I used these for some garden LED's they make them to measure and are very helpful. https://taylorlighting.co.uk

I just arrived at site this morning to a pleasant surprise. Open reach have installed a new joint box exactly where I would have wanted it. I only enquired regarding cost of installation to the site. There is a God !

Is the opening height sufficient to insert a 100x 65mm concrete lintel below what is already there ?

above is how we did it in the past

Ahh yes that's another job to do.

Welcome to the group. Ask away I'm awaiting a delivery.

I missed the plinth that would be a small extra lin m rate but should be covered in previous rates. Add the inglenook bricks to my calcs. Zero rated VAT on new housing.

Well done ! I make it 6959 at a rough guess add 5% cutting and waste gives you 7307. I'm sure you're aware that your ground floor plan doesn't match your elevations ? @eandgis about right with pricing for my area.

I am a brickie and that sounds about right. Ive not measured anything today yet so if you gave me the dims or a ground floor plan and also ground floor window and door sizes I can have a quick look for you. Are they herringbone panels on the front ?

A bad start to the day for me so I gave up and ended up with cheese on toast. I am surrounded by bungling incompetence.

If the foundation and masonry is built to their details I can't see a problem. You should have section details and a plan layout.

Is Trad deck for hire anywhere ? Or do they only supply and fit ? https://www.jmacsafetysystems.co.uk/products/macdeck/?utm_term=trad deck&utm_campaign=Route+|+J+Mac+Safety+|+Safety+Decking+|+Trad+Deck&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4442988593&hsa_cam=9653197370&hsa_grp=111937701526&hsa_ad=479195658704&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-318625314880&hsa_kw=trad deck&hsa_mt=e&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=Cj0KCQiA54KfBhCKARIsAJzSrdroowBoNKunHayVCMw5ClOqydVL6rgn_zmfw-t2kAU4E9exqOyo744aAoHLEALw_wcB

I had to call them out to a lethal scaffold once where people could have died. They didn’t bother coming out. It was at least 15 years ago so maybe they have improved.

on the subject of blinds .. would they need to be external or would the integrated blinds commonly used in bifold doors suffice ? I had some on my old house and they seemed to keep a lot of solar gain at bay.

I had a quote for £900 plus VAT for mine against £200 for the simplified method. They were very thorough, helpful and communicative when they did my SAP calcs. and I would recommend them. RJ energy consultants Ltd.

I’ve seen 2 planning applications passed for the same recently within 6 doors of my project.

Why not go round and chat to the builders and ask what their plans are for the next week or so.

I’m going to have to give this a try

4.94 x 2.925 with a 2 x 1 m lantern in the middle £1050

So we have to listen to your shit ? 🙂
