just not enough "dots" on it --should be a dot about everywhere you would have a screw you can see the edges where they have gone all round is fine that is why you felt it flexing

are they the block makers? I suspect i will need some lego blocks for retaining walls et --but delivery really is a cost problem for me -- basically its around £7-800 per delivery of an artic load -1.800x600x600 =27 per truck

It would if you had "dwangs" across the upright studs at 500mm centers and lots more screws than a 1200x2400 single sheet suppose it depends how cheap is cheap by the time you add up the extra framing and screws and time . you would still need building wrap on outside to be sure and inner vcl as that would also be your air tightness layer.

what you must remember is that in europe they nearly always spray the plaster on the walls --so it will be different stuff i think not many here doing mechanical plastering yet

size of main doors? --they will be hardest part to insulate well normal priced roller shutter types have crap insulation I am already planning this for my workshop --maybe make big sliding door from metal sips panels or cold store panels and fit seal edge seals

lightweight don,t mean cheap!!

I think you could get best pointing job done and it still will not make it very pretty - and that would be a lot more work than brick slip system and you still will have the bricks which have blown faces andf surface cracks for water to freeze in in some parts -- New windows being replaced and new window ledges -maybe external insulation then slips or render or just render the brickwork ? looking at mock tudor ,that does not look orginal? they had better wood then lots of gaps and nail holes obvious --maybe hiding lots of other crappy brickwork

just get the attachmnet for the power wash and do it right -you probably got stuff dryed onto inside of pipe making something the new stuff can catch on angle has not been as much of a problem since plastic pipes as they are not pourous and much more slippery to start with # leave it flat and yes it will gather up .but a steeper angle not a problem

thats not really going to make you a favorite of the planners is it expect for your application to go to bottom of list if you give them more work .

Ok tell me why people don,t just use thinset maortar when laying conrete blocks ? .like you would if using aircrete blocks surely it would have thew same advantages with concrete blocks as it does with aircrete ones ? like very easy to keep courses in line.If first one is correct .lay more courses beofre it becomes unstable

maybe thissystem would suit you

why is wall thickness the factor you seem to be concentrating on ? small plot and room sizes ? you can get passiv levels on any type of build Is this a self build project ? how much of it do you intend to do yourself do you have plans ? all the above will guide you intype of construction you choose probably If you have plans --then send toa TF company an ICF company .SIPS company your exterior finish you desire will also guide you possibly type of ground you are on can it be slab ,or strip founds ,or piles -- the choice is very complicated until you tie down some real site conditions and choices and your desires first and get some quotes -?

once you accept that you need thinset --then why not build from celcon areo type blocks ,that you can lift in one hand and cut with a wood saw. thinset goes of in 3 hrs like tile cement --so no danger of falling over -and you and stop start as much as you like and i,m guessing 3 or 4 rows a day will be enough for you to do in a day same as lego blokcs --get firsat row perfect and they will not topple ,easier to work out lintels and openings

I was following then bid on a 2018taceuchi tb280 digger did not think i would get it as I was being tight with bids -- anyway i stopped at 9K--it went on to 12 k--still sounded cheap auction ended then I get a message from seller saying winning bid was from polland and it would be 4 weeks before he could pay "would I like it?" How much says me £8750 says seller please send me chassis number so I can check its clear of finance no suprise thats the last i heard from them . and he had 100sales +100% rating WATCH OUT BOYS plenty of scammers out there

everyone has thier own idea on what looks right - all i would say is address all other issues first - brick slips or clading to tudor is comestic

velox do acoustic panels system --woodcrete http://velox-systems.co.uk/products

can you not just move it it away from proposed units ?, If not then accept no rental when you using it-or serious reduction-thats a NO cost option ,just loss of income for a couple of weeks,

If you were closer you could borrow my big one takes 600mm tiles-with a stand as well#don,t think you want to travle this far twice?

definatley reccomned them -for we people that don,t do it as a job ,especially when doing large format tiles.

just blank off all names and tracable details of contreactor --then there are plenty people here who will tell you if its a sensible quote--

Hi, i,m below you ins/w scotland

or just use stick on tanking as for basement- and as used in some sips roof systems,probably by the time you covered it in insulation just a building wrap would be fine

I certainly do not think that if built correctly and braced ,if poly type ,that there is any great risk for blow outs or collapse my interest in these lego blocks has been more in the way of thinking is there another way as for stability --use thin set mortar between them -then they are bonded IF it worked out cheaper to use blocks then concrete a ring beam on top for to tie it all together floors -just fix wall plate to blockwork to sit joists onto using 300mm blocks makes cutting them to fit realistic possiblity , but of course you would work it out as design stage to limit the number of cuts door +window holes --steel liners as you have said what SE +BC would make of it is another thing

thiis where my karcher drain clearing hose would be handy 2 jets point forward and 4 backwards to drive it downn the pipe very worth while addition to pressure washer for turd boring etc I have bad pipe from my garden through next doors garden to main drain chamber -- he had a tree planted over the drain and suspect roots have got into to it so once every year or 2 iget a back up --this always clears it in 5mins

I am saying that is what happens with commercial solar farms --they buy an option basically --which then means if that is all the capacity the local sub station can handle ,then noone else can use it If it were me ,yes i would bank it --it maybe not a problem now ,but if every body starts doing it --then I believe the DNO will start rationing how generation they allow for private dwellings as well. I have no hard facts to back this up only what i have been told regarding commercial solar farms lots of good sites --but it is spare capacity in the grid which is limiting more being built incertain parts of the country
