  1. Perhaps you didn’t make it clear to him what you wanted
  2. The trade body arnt interested min anything other than the subscription Its probably not worth it for a few hundred quid He could take you to the small claims and win
  3. Dewalt do a green line laser Cheap as chips
  4. No It’s rubbish The flashing should be at least a third covered with slate The sealant won’t last
  5. He may have to put a paper tape over it
  6. For those who think buying a mini digger would be useful on there build https://www.facebook.com/share/r/12G6A95uBtS/?mibextid=UalRPS
  7. Asphalt normally around £50 a meter Yes 80 mil in one go
  8. As a business F Skim 14 Skim 7 Board 7 70 mil framing 9 MF ceilings 10.50 Loading 2 per board Labour only 15% uplift for supply and fix 24 month no quibble Guarantee
  9. Net zero by 2050 is as likely as fazing gas boilers out in new homes by 2025
  10. It’s his first season So not But they told him he will be able to graze as normal
  11. I’m all for the solar in fields The farmer in the next field to us is getting around £500 an acre and can still graze his sheep
  12. We have field near us that is having 20 acres They look much better than stuck on roofs I still don’t get the PV on houses From a point of reducing bills If they cut ours in half Which is unlikely It would still take a couple of decades to cover the cost
  13. The first time round I hired a crane £500 Quick and super easy About two hours This time I had a five ton digger on loan So choked each one I simply removed the bucket and looped a canvas strap through the pin hole on the digger Slower but worked fine
  14. You do need an extractor in a utility room As far as BC are concerned
  15. But BC won’t get involved with that
  16. You will find that BC don’t really care when you are in and will be reluctant to get involved They are there to make sure the building is built to there rules Nothing else Certainly not HSE Just the council tax bods will be interested in order get paying as soon as possible
  17. Don’t overthink The majority of bathrooms that I tile are on moister plasterboard The yellow gypsum Hardy boards are out perform most But the reality is that if water is penetrating through the tiles and adhesive They need to come off Regardless of what boards are on Don’t overthink I’m starting to tile a 5 million pound house this week We’ve just used moister plasterboard on all the wet rooms and we will cover this with impi tanking In short What ever you put on will be fine
  18. In my experience BC won’t come along with a tape measure Put it in the best pace possible
  19. 50 kg Felt like more Though I am 63 now
  20. yes laying ourselves As I type 😂 CW Berry But Buildbase {Hews Grew)) where about the same
  21. I’ve just bought some new oak sleeper s 2.4 long While they are heavy I was able to get them on my shoulder and carry them round the back of the house So easily Maneuvered into place by two
  22. No We probably should have put crates down But that brings it up to the price of Tobermore paving As I stated Gravel is bad to walk and drive on Better with crates Tobermore is costing 16m2 plus sand
  23. Tarmac around where we are tends to be 50m2 and that with all the prep work done fore them Sun base drains etc We are using block pavers again 550m2 Ouch plus a 100m2 in front of the garage in gravel Which I’m regretting already Horrible to drive on and worse to walk on A ready reckoner for anyone buying gravel I bought 20 ton for a 100 m2 12 ton would have been enough The other 8 had to be dumped in the field
  24. Exactly Trotting down the slope with an arm full of drinks
  25. A dishwasher is the most pointless thing ever Unless your single 😁
