  5. We just added two roof lights and didn’t go back to planners To high to bother anyone
  6. We slated our first As real beginners My wife and myself slated our recent build 50 degree roof four valleys like yours and four ten meter valleys The only difference is that I bought an auto cutter from the US Works like tin shears No more marking the slates on the back Leaves perfect riven edge Probably not use it again But 200 quid well spent
  7. They will be fine Use the slate and a halve sparingly Its ok to drill the smaller triangles where ever you can fix

  9. 12 mil PB is fine for the whole kitchen
  10. Definitely SE is a must Most will do your BC submission if required A lot cheaper than an Architect
  11. The key to our low £ / square metre cost was building slowly doing a lot of the work ourselves to save labour, and careful buying of everything. Great advise Fast =£££ Lots of labour that we can all do Buying materials There can be a massive difference in costs of exactly the same materials Suppliers have got used to us excepting that things cost more due to inflation Un less you are governed by planning I would consider 1.5 floors £1300 m2 is definitely doable if you consider all of the above To add Try and get a plot that is reasonably straight forward No overhead cables Flat as possible Reasonably near to utility Conections and and some means of run off for tip water and discharge from Treatment Plant Jeep professional fees as low as possible

  16. I’ve really sympathy for the farmers We are on a nice quiet country road man’s it’s like Grand Prix for tractors when the sun comes out
  17. I’ve been waiting weeks to get the garden turned and field where I buried the spoil from the house Hopefully we can get it pyrowd today and seeded tomorrow Weather permitting
  18. You should fine Rain won’t travel sideways

  20. I’ve fitted matrix on the last two But any that don’t have moving parts are fine
  21. I’ve a good friend who replaces several tanks per month He seems to be around 10k plus vat per tank and additional for upgrading drainage field
  22. I was referring to a single build We have two plots Which we planned to do the foundations for both at the same time I was presented with a bill for 65 k As I now had become a developer I agreed to start only one and received the Cil exemption To be fair it is pretty clear
  23. Probably cheaper to overboard the ceiling and fix new cornice The ones that are on have been run on the ceiling Expect to pay around £100 per limier meter for cornice Supply and fix
