Yep Certainly builds up our leg muscles

After working on the roof all week -3-8 It felt almost tropical today at +3

We’ve found our UFH very cheap to run (Gas boiler ) My wife is dreading moving to an ASHP on the next one I’d never go back to radiators

We’ve been warned to expect 30% higher running costs than our gas boiler and by the guys that sell them The problem with HPs is they are often sold as a cheap way of heating your home Most people that are swapping over retrospectively have no idea that there bills will be higher

Plus 1 You will have loads of issues with drivers wanting to drop off at the roadside It won’t matter that you have a video of a lorry twice there size sailing past it Most will use as an excuse

You’ve two options Live with it Or pay to have it re routed The later would be expensive But save you going around in circles for months A friend of ours has been going through this for over two years in order to sell his building plot Three dropped out buyers later and 500 quid to a planning consultant Hes admitted defeat and is paying for the pole to be moved 8 weeks time it will just be a bad memory

Exactly They won’t even ask the price if it’s your money Why would they

Hopefully this arrangement isn’t for a full build and only short term Any recipe they give can be claimed back if eligible Jus get them to add your name or the address BMs always ask The problem with trades buying the materials is They won’t shop around Just use where ever is the most convenient

Get rid of there smelly fossil fuel vehicles

When I here about E charging laws I wonder what will happen to all those that live in Terrace homes Will they simply run a lead across the pavement

These have just over a year to run til expiry date

See your point we’ve used three boxes Seem ok

Silicon Nearly fiver a tube A local seller is selling for £1.80 per tube All in Someone is making a nice little profit

Our daughter had a Similar problem I purchased a pack of wedges from SF That simply allow a better airflow und let the felt It worked a treat

Architects like spending other peoples money and often not practical to build

We normally use flex tile adhesive 10 mil notch on the block 10 mil notch on the Cement board Don’t forget to seal your board with SBR the day before Some Architect's spec four BG knock ins per m2 the following day Bit over the top really

Do as you are doing and buy some skim stop beads Your plaster will fix them to the slope and skim a straight line down to them Ceiling first Then the slopes on a separate gauge

Y Yes it was me and my son To cold for plater Not much going on on the sites last or this week One of the largest building companies won’t get us heaters or allow us to use our own Health and safety risk 😁

Things started to go down hill when my son told him to get a proper job 😁

Yes Just my son and me loading onto the scaffolding Far to dangerous to be on the roof

I’ve just had a visit from HSE Why are we working on a steep frozen roof and to cease immediately Correct if I’m wrong But I didn’t think HSE had any right to come on a private build

75 mil is pretty normal Insulated pb is unusual Weve recently plastered a self build that had specified 100 mil Celotex in a 125 cavity which wasn’t practical to build So he went 75 mil batts in a 125 cavity man’s insulated pb on the inside of the house Expensive mistake on the Architects part

If you haven’t started a get a new warranty provider Some ask ridiculous questions and set unreasonable conditions The level threshold is an easy one Where there is a level threshold you simply step the dpc up the wall at either side

No it won’t You can easily get a wheelchair over They say 15 mil But there not looking to catch you out

I’ve enquired for a friend also Seems like Autumn before the grants are available Most companies are asking for £75-100 to quote
