With our start date looming closer Something I’ve put off for a while Mainly due to constant material rises Even muck away was up and thankfully down now Most things seam to of either stabilized or are heading down Even Pasquils quote of six months ago has dropped by 15% In any case I can base coatings on here and now We finished our previous build three years ago So the spreadsheet for that was a good place to start and a way of not missing what seemed like small items Off the new spreadsheet Previous build came in at £815m2 Two story Traditional build Two detached garages Very good quality of finishing Ive noticed this morning That I never included the m2 of the two detached garages Just added the cost into the overall build cost So the 815 was probably lower But I will still split m2 of the house and garage - Workshop As overall is 416m The actual house is 308.21 I feel quite confident that our budget of 350k should be ok The ground is a lot better now We had a tank and three 4 meter holes to fill Two with concrete and thankfully the the third with hardcore I Once I get the foundations in I should be able to cost most things accurately

We’ve gone onto using the Gipson backer board (yellow) Cheaper easer to cut and handle better performance than Hardy Use drywall adhesive for fixing with a knock in fixing once set

We always put them in regardless of UFH and matting There should be expansion joints in the screed also Nearly always crack in doorways

How much of the electricity to run the ASHP can PV take up Ive just had this conversation with a friend who recommends PV and batteries to run most of the ASHP demands Is this feasible

Make sure tiler puts expansion joints across EVERY doorway

Short answer is nothing It’s unusual for screeds not to crack

This may help buy a mixer for under a thousand Sell on for about the same when finished

I’d always use deep flow Gutters are quite cheap and not a lot extra for DF

Plus 1 we fixed ours with nails But our next will probably be with hooks due to exposed area I think hooks look fine A quick snap from ground level might help clear this up Joe

A mixer is also fine We used 40 ton of sand on our last and probably more on our next Silo would be overkill and a very expensive option

A small matter of several earthquakes has put pay to it starting up again

We took a chance in buying two plots Les than a mile from a Fracking site in Lancashire Both 2 kilometer holes are about to be filled with concrete Is this the end for Fracking in the Uk

If you are going to plasterboard it you will need to allow for the supporting bar 50 mil We normally allow min of 60 mil void Set your perimeter track at 80 mil to be safe

You will need to chase the company that Suplies and fitted them

A professional Certificate supposedly covers the structure and foundations and very little else

I don’t think there would be any building rules to stop you doing this It’s quite common to have mdf panels throughout Its more about stopping the spread of fire between floor Only 30 minutes on some of our jobs

It’s so subjective One company told me my valuation was to high another to low

If it’s the effect that you like Plasterboard as normal Fire tape Tge joints and ply over the top

Back to where we where 5 years ago SW Back then it was a simple decision As we new we would sell This time I will stop short at calling it our forever home As I don’t think such a thing exists While we don’t expect to sell within ten years Or die You never know While I don’t expect either would ever pay out It’s going to be a selling tool should we need to sell at done point My question is does a professional Certificate carry as much weight as a SE warranty ?

Dig and pour foundations Set out and build foundation walls for house and garages Floor joists and steels Roof trusses slating and lead Fiberglas roof Fit sash windows and doors Floor screed and insulation 90% of plumbing 90% of wiring All plaster boarding and skimming 340m2 of K Rend 250 m2 of tiles 400m2 of paving I’m sure I’ve missed something When you write it down I wonder why we are about to do it all again ?

It is I simply laid 600 mil dmp around the block Then folded it over the ends of the BB floor and taped it under my firs course of block

We used a green star boiler on our previous build and probably would have done the same on our next Had gas been available Very cheap to run

No

I wouldn’t put anything as approximate Planners will want exact measurements Same goes with ground levels 21-063-P03 - Proposed Garage.pdf 21-063-P02 - Proposed House Type.pdf
