Yes if only we wasn’t all dotted around the Uk

Thanks Originally we set out expecting around £1000 m2 A healthy 350k Then material prices went crazy At one stage I wasn’t bothering to update the spreadsheet Things started to calm down once the structure was built We haven’t scrimped on anything and as previously we are happy with the end result

It’s taken a little while to get an exact figure With some moneys and bills still to go out and £1500 off the vat reclaim off a supplier Which we’ve now done We ended up with £42800 back off the vat Most of which went on the landscaping and gates So I’ve knocked that out of the total spent Carpet curtains blinds wood burner I’ve left in as part of the spend fees surveys buying costs Architects BC fees All in Land purchase omitted from the spend tax All complete 420m2 £386000

Yeah you see quite a lot of desalts for sale for that reason I’ve several Hilti masonary nailer Gasless now The gas use to freeze in winter

Friday gun

The Dewalt are very reliable and outperform gas in winter Little weighty on roofs

Hitachi(Hikoki) is half the price and does the same job

If you can hire a sit on Its a real easy job My mate drove out to Scandinavia to collect his So I’m guessing there’s not lots of these about

It’s fine below dpc Brick up around Or diamond drill if you want

Normally go in before the roof

August to September from memory Troweled it Then hit it the following morning with the ride on float

I borrowed a sit on power float for our garage floor Quite easy the following morning

I installed this relatively cheap and easy to install

The EWI goes up in increments of 10 mil Ive done plenty like yours and used two different thicknesses in your case 20 mil thicker for the bottom

Any concrete blocks are fine If you decide to use lightweight thermal These are fine also But will need a scratch coat and mess

You could let them sit on the lean mix cavity fill if you don’t want to do that Both ways will work I definitely would start gluing anything I couldn’t imagine a brickie doing that

I’m installing a treatment plant for a neighbor today BC are coming tomorrow to sign it off I’m not a contractor and the only experience I have is installing TPs on my own builds I think your designer is confused

I’ve not heard of that Weve just had our second build signed off 8 weeks ago we did most things ourselves BC never asks who’s done what Only that they have worked to building regulations If this was the case It would kill off self building

No you don’t need any kind of sign off from a builder or anyone else In order for BC to sign you off Many of us arnt using a building contractor
