There’s been some resistance on the tap lever for a while Just moved the lever from hot to cold and the lever has gone all loose My question is Can this be put right Or is it a sealed unit

Through coloured renders are better suited to block But cement board is ok

I wouldn’t take any notice of the agents We looked at a plot with canal views Only to find the canal was quarter of a mile up the road

None Ian Five hours sleep then ready to do it all again

My wife keep saying that 😁

Just another 150 slates to go Pictured is my wife on a Sunday afternoon Its been slow going with the weather to contend with and working full time still I’ve a couple of spare afternoons this week Going to make a start on the render

Sorry Nick Your wrong Dot and dab can be made extremely airtight I’ve been doing this for forty plus years We use hundreds of bags of Parge each year Even the housing associations have stopped using it for airtightness Always for sound The only time I use it is on some self builds and I always tell my guys that it’s not for airtightness Making sure that the block work is pointed and bar jointed and around joists also 15 plus years ago you could see into the cavity as the Brickies new we would come along and seal everything But that stopped overnight

Parge is a waste of time and money If you decide to use it Call it by what it says on the bags Sound block As it will encourage the Brickies and plasterers not to do there jobs properly Well done in securing groundwork’s Absolutely crucial in any build

You can have problems with UK companies This is compounded if they are none UK The saving would have to be significant

Is it face brick are going to be rendered ?

Sorry to go a little off topic I’d a call from a HP installer-Seller saying the 5k rebate was still claimable I thought the grants had come to an end

Yes I install them on a daily basis Usually above grid ceilings Its the itchiest material that you will ever come in contact with Quite simple to install Simply hang from the underside of the floor

He’s seven cars now No problem buying Big problem parting with them

Sounds like a plan

You’ve sort of stolen my thunder withe the neighbor thingy But here goes MVRH Larger plant room Double garage into a treble with a room above and vaulted the sunroom ceiling instead of a lantern All of which we have remedied on our second build

We always do it when fixing metal studs

Probably better sticking with ridged insulation The brands are pretty generic 10 mi cavities arnt workable That needs to be increased

Makes sense

Whilst there only selling the stuff There probably right Most cladding arrives on site and is used immediately
