I recently worked with a decorator He told me he started his apprenticeship in 1963 and when his knees go He will just have to do skirting boards ?

While I’m not Inverness I totally get your Wickes point CTD tiles do exactly the same thing So annoying

You will need to put an expansion joint where the two floors meet when tile

New one on me

Normally you would get a Structural Engineer to determine the method of joining the two and foundations also Followed up with a drawing Who has told you you don’t need building regs Structural alterations normally require BC

I’d be very wary of land without planning Unless you intend playing the long game It’s now so cheap and easy to get an informed opinion as to weather a field is a potential plot

NO

Provide them with a loo and tell them what you want them to do Keep the subys out of each other’s way Dont mention inductions You will frighten them off Ive just started two sites for a contractor that is H&S mad Hour long induction No radios No shorts No eating in the building I can tell the guys not to wear shorts as most insist on this Radios low volume Eating on the go NO chance In common with all our sites Not one mention of Covid There’s two members of two gangs confirmed with Covid The other half’s of the gangs are still working onsite The jobs falling behind are all they care about None of the contractors have any respect for HSE

I bought grade A Spanish slate and returned a 1000 warped slates out of 8500£1000 refund If you have a warranty They will ask for a slate grading cert So worth baring in mind

After nine months of waiting I’ve been told my new Tipper trailer has arrived The dealer has explained that shortages have been caused by people putting there old trailers online at inflated prices Which has had a knock on effect He did also say I could turn a £1500 profit without taking delivery Something will eventually have to give

If that’s the case There should be any bounce Unless the joists are all over the place

If you are able to still get at the underside of the floor Adding a couple of extra joists would help

We registered our new address as soon as the house was going up Mainly to stop deliveries going to next door

I agree Under normal circumstances interest rates would be bumped up We can’t carryon like this

It will all go in the skip on Tuesday

We’ve just started the boarding on a small development 9 houses and 12 flats All the TF is up seven brickies booked for last Tuesday Six motar tubs arrive Monday Six on Tuesday Brickies no show Had a better offer

The trouble is Hardly any potential buyer will care if you have screw piles or a shit load of concrete If you where doing for yourself I’d say go for it This non standard fixation that mortgage lenders have won’t change anytime soon

Unfortunately It’s a worldwide problem An American friend of ours put this up on FB yesterday

It just reminds me of the push from petrol cars to getting us all to drive diesel At the time diesel was cheaper at the pumps Once we swapped over The tax on diesel went up to cover the lost revenue Tge same will happen with electricity

As we move away from fossil fuels Electricity prices will soar If only to make up the revenue lost from the gas industry

There is no direct line to our planners also They are charging a £150 to answer each question via email

We are considering heating options for our next build Unfortunately no gas a available We have been in our current self build for just over two years now Traditional built Though well insulated 285m2 over two floor 5 bed Has boiler UFH to the ground floor Over the six winter months the heating has cost almost £70 per months My wife has done a comparison for the same period in our previous home Built in 2003 4 bed just over half the size of our present home £95 per month The and a half years ago Updating the insulation really is money well spent Also our counsul tax has gone up two bands But due to the treatment plant our water rates have nearly offset the difference When we started our build We had absolutely no idea how much it would cost to run a large house We had heard stories about how UFH could be expensive to run UFH is definitely on our tick list for the next two builds

Bifolds look great But in reality they are not that practical We are going to have two pairs of sliders in our next build

There all made to order But 4.2 is a good size It would give you four doors Most recommend keeping the glass under 1000 From memory our glass was about 910

It would be a big ask for Five in five years My understanding is there no minimum time you need to live in a property Only that it is your main residence ie register and pay utilities and CT To do this he would have to fund at least the first build out of his own pocket and hope prices carry on rising
