  1. Yep Two clamps Straight edge and a 4” grinder equipped with a porcelain Turbo blade
  2. As a business I sometimes use there online companies Mainly for Moroccan type tiles that I can’t always get here The tiles I used on our first build came directly from Italy The carriage can be a deal breaker But it sounds like you have sorted that 2k will probably pay for a 100 m2 of labour
  3. 5 mil all round it perfect for face brick
  4. Buy to let’s are making less sense tha 25 years ago when we bought our firs Like many landlords We are getting out of the buy to let market With two more going in the next few weeks
  5. Yep 50% chance Chuck in illness Job move and redundancy A funny story When I started our first build (forever Home ) A friend was finishing his forever home “They will have to carry me out feet first “ He would say A year on he sold it and moved to Spain He’s now back living in a caravan in a field Awaiting planning for his next forever home 😁
  6. I like the design and looks a great project But always keep one eye on selling the house at some stage I hate the term forever home You never know what is around the corner
  7. Definitely pull it out or more to the point get them to sort it out and re pressurize the system
  8. Normal adhesive Normal grout

  10. Quite a few Building inspectors leaving Our local inspector who was In overall in charge Has decided to go back to his trade )joinery) after 17 years citing Red tape and poor pay
  11. I think we paid around £800 last time and similar this time Probably the best value for money Out of the whole build
  12. Remove and replace Nothing will stop that

  17. Loft insulation won’t do the same job 25 mil of acoustic will out perform 100 mil of loft insulation I would also use a maximum of 50 mil on your setup Which will leave you a clear void
  18. Firstly You can move in prior to a completion I think we were in about five months via completion From memory Electrical certificate Gas if applicable Slate grading cert If applicable You will also need to complete your final sap with water usage Sap guy did that for a tiny fee Ppppp

  21. Suggested text strikes again 😂 little CORE drill
  22. You can hire a little handle drill and bits Most will do a half day hire
  23. Not really in the grand scheme of things What you can see took two men two days Laying around 1000 per day 650 per 1000 for bricks
  24. Build directly onto the screed The BB will easily support a wood burner and hearth
