  2. No Board it as tight as you can
  3. We spray sloppy render at it without any problems
  4. You can use a 37 mil insulated board Which would add 25 mil to each exterior wall
  5. Your going to be lining the walls with PB anyways Using a thermal board will only add 20% to the labour
  6. Lining the interior would be better Would loosing 25 mil really make so much difference to your life
  7. What you need to do is find a backer Someone with money that is looking to invest They are out there
  8. I’m supposed that your contractor has agreed to stop I think your being picky
  9. Just attach a Hoover
  10. Circular saw is the quickest and will keep the edges square
  11. You will just about get away with that if you double the studs up They will clip inside each other Fix them together with a pan head screw
  12. As long as you are no more than 2.5 50 mil will free stand With two layers of PB Don’t forget to stagger each layer Then stagger opposite on the other side

  17. Yes Raised tie are thicker and allow for a cut In our case I cut them all 30 mil to nothing Just enough to stop them slipping
  18. I’ve used raised tie and loose rafters in ours Loose is cheaper and I still spent a day doing the birds mouths on the trusses before I even craned them up
  19. Ok Dunscar will If you can’t find somewhere local Your Structual engineer will draw up a simple design
  20. Most truss companies have the software Just send them your drawing and they will come back to you with the pitch and loadings
  21. I wouldn’t bother taping But if your looking for something that will stick and stay stuck Jaffa tape Five quid for 25 meters

  23. Yes Galvy internal Stainless external
