  1. Was a little scared of this: Will they fit how the F£$% are we gonna carry them into the building ....heavy as they are. https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/04/windows-and-doors-big-lift.html
  2. The most excisting thing about plasterboarding is that 1.it s soon over 2.we are getting closer to the end https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/04/plasterboarding.html
  3. Installation went smooth . No problem at all with the right flashing kit https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/04/standing-seam-2nd-side-and-rooflights.html
  4. PIR not the greatest choice if we talking about sound insulation ... And that's what you partly want in the setup (I guess) .
  5. Many thanks . Cant change it through mobile . Will try later on Computer https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-frame-is-up-1st-fix.html?m=1
  6. Hairy chest underneath is the answer ( tyvek metal or Dorken DeltaTrela ....)
  7. Too low for what purpose. Apologies for my lack of understanding but there is cladding going on the entire dormer and a window cill integrated flashing on the bottom. How would you imagine water getting into these sections. There are several ways to approach a metal roof , it all depends on the setup and rest of the building . Thanks for the good advise but the detailing is spot on 👍
  8. 100% true and this is down to the individuals- so my view is highly biased as i dont trust and always try to eliminate the possibilty of getting things wrong as far as possible . If you can trust your team or you have a site manager (are the site manager yourself) that is 100% accurate in his apporach - other aspects are more important . So i think the answer is as so often - it depends....
  9. Tbh i had a few packs of Rockwool first before i ordered the Knauf pallets and given a choice, i would take Rockwool all day every day. Easier to work with - the insulation feels much denser - easier to pack into the cavity. Just happened to be that i ordered from local building supplies and didnt specify the brand (just said "get me some soundproofing stuff. 100mm thick")
  10. Thats the correct setup . You can get away with putting tanalised timber boards cloesely spaced underneath the Standing seam instead of OSB - saves a bit of wood and a bit of Hairy chest - but both methods are pretty rock solid .
  11. Sorry to disagree there. The detailing on the sides of the Standing Seam is correct. No weather can get in there. Flashing is an option but it doesnt look as good, better to form the flashing from Panels .
  12. To answer how to do that best (imho) . As i got the same setup in my house. Blown cellulose , Standing Seam on top : Sarking boards on counterbattens above Timber frame filled with Cellulose.
  13. Thats exactly the reason why I made that statement. Level of skill nowadays is shocking ... So better safe then sorry
  14. Always always ventilated. No question about that .... It s not even close. It s so much more secure and less option for mistakes ... On the paper , both might have pros and cons.... In reality I haven't seen much evidence for warm roof being a great idea.
  15. Knauf around 10-15%cheaper
  16. OSB . MORE OSB. SO MUCH OSB https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/internal-finish-1st-layer-osb.html
  17. Another tree damage drama . https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/another-tree-must-be-my-luck.html VID_20220218_131425.mp4
  18. https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/1st-fix-mvhr-sprinkler-system-electrical.html
  19. That was an easy one . https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/standing-seam-roof-1st-side.html
  20. https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/insulation-internal-walls-sound.html
  21. Installing with the blower i collected from @Simplysimon https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2022/03/insulation-blown-in-cellulose.html
  22. Finally had a minute to breath . Progress is very very fast now. https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/9188371054741800728/8792779331408978623
  23. I did that myself - so my own company. Blown cellulose works a treat. Dead easy to do . But the rest: yes, it s hard to keep up with where to pay attention. It s all clearer in hindsight ...
  24. Finally having time to update you(and me) about the progress. It s happening fast now. Finally. https://tintabernacle.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-frame-is-going-up-fast.html
  25. Thats extremely helpfull, thanks. @Dan F this was my plan B to just do render or Bricks.
