Slightly off topic There’s a plot that we looked ate and the two older Brickies are building it hand over arm No scaffolding at all Takes me back to the 80s

Definitely Get up to chamber and get your joists in and floors And the Brickies will build the inside off the deck If your using cabba or Egger floor boards Most have a peel off shield to protect till watertight

As previously stated we have a loan machine that you simply feed the foundation design into The screen follow screen Well there’s a bit more to it than that I needed to Topo guy to build a model to feed into the machine Using the SE foundation design Worked a treat on the main house But due to a nearby hedge BC vaulted the pour of the workshop-office foundation til I had a separate SE drawing Yesterday My wife who isn’t a fan of relying on Technology went up with her tape to check everything Falling flat on her back in the slippery footings Sorry no pics 😁 Verdict House is perfect I couldn’t stop myself from a told you so moment Then the Workshop Im 1100 to narrow and 1700 to short Somewhere between the two professionals and me a mistake has been made BC did me a real favor I had loads of time to run a tape over the house foundations and didnt Lesson learned Measure twice cut once and listen to your other half 😁

Yes Hire or borrow a good quality laser and mark a Datum line either side of where the lintel will sit and simply measure up from these

Anyone selling a plot without planning Either knows that planning is unlikely or very expensive You can get planning in principle from a planning consultant in a matter of weeks for about £500-£1000

The thickness of the tile dictates the thickness of the adhesive 10=10 mil You can go as low as 8 mil for walls But they need to be pretty flat You should alway Bach butter floor tiles I would normally just add just a small amount with the plain side of the float

Our friends have recently finished there build (Turn key ) We had this conversation prior to the hob and sink being fitted They have cracks on both Quarts company and builder are blaming each other End result A near invisible repair to Both island top and sink w top They have spent over 600 k and are very unhappy with this I wouldn’t tighten the clips on any

I rarely use anything less than 12 mil Usually 15 mil - 18 mil

We where quite tight for space last time A lot easier this time

Thanks Peter

Finally dug the footings out this morning Grounds pretty good Bc booked for lunchtime

That’s correct They need to be free of nogs or flat plate

Plus one I would move it up a meter or make it smaller Would save a lot of time

Most companies counter batten to help with this

No it’s all the same

May seam a little extreme But I’d forget using a grinder Hire a floor planer Size of a small whacked plate a couple of passes will leave the effected area flat but pitted Which can quickly be sorted out with self leveler

No i wouldn’t delay it As a tiling contractor I break All curing RECOMMENDATIONS on a daily basis With little or no consequence We are currently tiling the floors of two 1.3 million pound homes Screeds have been down three weeks No gas to fire up the UFH Both have to be handed over in April It currently snowing outside

Very true Its so easy to end up with things that you don’t want Simply because you are being told that Everybody is going for this or that

Ask away

It’s being blamed on the TF company Design fault I guy who drilled it thought it would be easier to move the walls than drill four new pilot holes 😂 I wouldn’t mind but I got a call Monday from my boarder saying a pipe was in the way I told him to board round Probably should have sent me a photo

Timber is rubbish for sound transmission We have two 70 mil mf studs between two bathrooms Both have a loo on each side You cant here either loo flush makeup 70 mil mf studs x 2 100 mill cavity 25 mil acoustic insulation 1 sheet x 2 of 15 mil moister soundblock PB Tiled on either side

You will need to fit cavity trays over the new lead flashings Its not a difficult job or that expensive Building Control will insist that you do this

I’ve just taken a professional certificate out for £1500 Vast majority of banks seem to recognize them LABC seamed to take Ages to quote
