  1. To be fair we had a full day sorting the drainage in the neighbors garden Bolder clay so the 3 tone digger I borrowed wasn’t man enough to dig right down So my maté reluctantly leant me his almost new 5 tonner
  2. You’ve forgotten spoil We had three grabs 250 plus vat and 20 tone of pipe bedding 700 Diesels and extra days for digger hire Also you need to use a semi dry curb mix
  3. Everything except putting some paving back and turf Which the neighbors did themselves
  4. Just a mate and me 3 days 9 pop
  5. I can’t rember who asked for pictures But here’s some that I’m doing
  6. I’ve installed one for our neighbor and the material came to £5700 including vat Labour £2000
  7. The problem with the Cil rules are They treat you like a developer assuming that you should know the rules before you set out You have a very small window to get your application in and agreed I’d been in the building industry and running my own business for over forty years and had never heard of a Cil Let alone be up to speed with all the rules Lucky for me our Architects advised me to make the application by email followed up with a phone call Otherwise we would have been in the same position as you
  8. It’s no great shakes to use a cement board rather than PB Most of the ones I do are tiled or skimmed Your only talking Pennie’s to use a cement board Ive put an oak beam on ours Your not supposed to do that either Done after installation

  12. As long as you are not over three floor No fire doors are needed Or any other doors
  13. I’m currently installing a bunch of pocket doors The wall needs to be spot on
  14. Your correct The patio cleaners are just a watered down version and often more expensive Sika brick cleaner is full strength 3-1 will clean most stains

  16. Pretty much all like this The one in our office shelves a drawers Bedrooms shelves and rail kits
  17. Majority of sites are banning radios now Health and safety risk But don’t seem to bother over headphones
  18. I think you have to be sensible Drilling and banging during the day A big problem we have on sites is radios Three different radios and three different stations It also worth pointing out to your neighbors that if you can’t reach a happy medium Your two year build may take four years I worked on a new school in Skelmersdale and the local drug dealer would come round with a baseball bat Because we had woken him up (Night Worker) 😁
  19. These are very difficult to enforce on a single build We had numerous complaints on our previous build I kept telling the enforcement officer that they are exaggerating little chance of them coming out No chance at weekends
  20. You want the opposite Cut the insulation 10 to small and tack a nail either side and foam up The reason being is that the joists are rarely square Use a circular saw to do your cuts and finish off with a handsaw This way you can keep your cutting square and it’s much faster
