He’s right You do need a movement joint on a 13 meter stretch If I was rendering it I would put at least one movement joint in the render

There’s nothing to stop you

We are building our second build in Woodplumbton near Preston

Plus 1 If they didn’t have means of moving it It wouldn’t be on stilage

Cost wise there’s not a lot in it

Nothing to stop you skim the ceilings and dry lined walls Then do the the wet plaster Use 100 mill fibre tape on board to solid wall

6 months is excessive

You will probably have to just let it weather Your not alone Suppliers advise is often quoted on here They only sell the stuff

Get the basics The problem with a package for electrical is It probably won’t suit you Weve done it all before and I’m still in the same position as last time Waiting for my wife to decide where the kitchen is going I’m still not sure how many bedrooms and bathrooms we are having As above withe the stairs Let the guys who are making them come out and measure Get your working drawings and building regs submitted Then cut your Architect loose

Slates is the best But if your going for a tile Clay tiles and ridges are less likely to discolor

There’s a few plots coming up we bought two and a 2.5 acre field

Welcome We are in Fulwood Preston Doing our second self build at Woodplumbton

It’s usually due to bad shapes on joists or trusses Joist hangers are the main culprit Counter batoning is a must At the very least trusses should be done Everything in ours will be done even the chunky Posi joist

Mostly block But there are a couple that make up two of the bathrooms The one we are building has just a couple of studs which I’ll do in timber As they are specified for racking and will need cladding with ply on both side Anything else Drop ceilings etc Will be MF Ask me if I’m Parge coating 😂

It may be worth considering metal studs MF It’s a lot easier get get straight and square and much lighter to use Also it’s make’s plumbing and electrical work much easier due to cut outs already being in place

We are surrounded by trees on our previous build and had to go down to 1800 on the main house and even the garages Private building control are less convenient and nearly always more expensive than local Authority

I do quite a bit of work for a company that uses the recycled Tyres Slate lookalike There not cheap but interlocking and look superb I have a maintenance contract on a site that was done about 18 years back They still look grate Easy diy job

In our locality Lancs England The change to treatment plant is being unforced when a property is sold So the seller either gets it swapped over or makes an adjustment on price To be fair we replaced and relocated the neighbors tank as part of the land sale I’d no experience of tanks of any kind It only took a day I offered them the option of a TP if they would pay a thousand towards it I bet they wished they had now We nearly put a joint TP in But our Solicitors talks us out of We are going to sell this year so might have been a sticking point

BC control didn’t have any involvement in replacing the septic tank My understanding was we where allowed to replace like for like Which isn’t the case now

Wow TP Jewson

A septic tank doesn’t meet current building regs period If you can do it without bc being involved Id just do it We installed a treatment plant in our first build five years ago and a new septic tank for our neighbor who we bought the plot off They have been told that in order to sell there house they have to replace the septic tank and asked why didn’t I tell them I like many had no idea that legislation would change

Expensive

It’s still very good PB like most things has gone up in price partly due to things out of all our control and partly due to high demand It’s good to see your benefiting from the fall in demand
