  5. You don’t need a membrane Most weeds are seeded It’s unlikely that anything will cum up from clay

  10. I’ve used multi foil in all slopes and vaulted ceiling’s I used 70 rigid insulation between each rafter Then multi foil tacked and taped Then 4-1 batons Followed with 70 mil insulated plasterboard
  11. Estates online are a real finger in the air stuff and quite generic and can’t possibly estimate labour costs accurately You need to approach a builder Even one that you have no interest in using They will prepare detailed costings of materials and labour and also time frame Expect to pay more than the online companies

  19. If the original lime is skimmed with putty lime It will look exactly the same as gypsum
  20. We had two at our last build One East and one west The batteries where always charged when we came to use them
  21. Counsul Tax Depending on Authority Due as soon as you register the address Weather the house is habitable or not You will need to register the new address to get an electrical supply Hold back as long as possible
