You can easily sort that out with your foundation blocks

We’ve used warm up on the last two builds Without any issues

No it will definitely crack away

Yes It covered everything except the land Even blinds and curtains Carpets for the first floor Though they are not really build material’s

Rodding access

Thanks Jim Its a case of picking your battles Some things are better left to others But most can be tackled quite easily If your quite a logical thinker

I’ve just installed a TP for a neighbor and had this conversation with BC Id check with BC ours wanted an inspection chamber and ours was only top water If yours is foul I wouldn’t consider not using a chamber

Valuations should really be changed to best guess Land Especially

Liquid screed drys out much quicker than semi dry and works out about a third more expensive More thermally efficient than semi dry I wouldn’t think there would be much difference If any

Thanks Mike I have another plot at the side of ours We I send to build and move sideways Im 64 next month So need to get a move on 😁

Her weight in gold Hospital administration by day But true self builder at heart When I broke my hand She slated the entire workshop with me only fit to carry the slates and cut

Thanks Gus It was a standing joke on our build that if I had a side job stacking shelves at Aldi We would have more money in the pot than when we sell Build cost including land 370k Sold 750k 820m2 from memory Most on here will know that I own and run a successful plastering and framing business Along with a render and tile company I made it a strict rule that no one from our company With the exception of our son would set foot on site till the house was built I’ve manage to stick to this on both builds Whenever our son has helped I’ve added £300 per day to the build cost Roughly what I pay him on site To get back to your question We both worked our day jobs Mon-Thursday I would arive at the build each after work and do three hours 4-7 and 4-9 on a Thursdays Up and out to my day job Various building sites at 6am My wife and I would do 10 hours each on a Friday and Saturday and 8 on a Sunday No holidays Just Christmas Day and Boxing Day We would also have four weeks away from our day jobs and use these on site So you can see where the Aldi comment came from 😁 Our current build has been valued at 1.3 Who know to you actually sell Land and build just under 500k Still well worth doing Unless this government decides to tax us self builders Or starts with the vat reclaim Who knows Apology's for the long winded reply Gus If you had asked me twelve months ago The answer would have been much shorter As I’d have been building a house Or thinking about building a house Or both 😁 Ill leave you to do the maths I’m guessing it will add up to far more hours than I think Each build took about 20 months Then a couple of months of leisurely finishing bits I’ve enjoyed every bit of the build Except the planning process 😁

Thanks Jim

Thanks Dave

Hopefully enough The estate agent took about forty of our last build My wife remarked that there wasn’t much point in anyone viewing 😂😂
