Personal Information

  • About Me
    40 years in IT, then made redundant, which has helped enormously in building. Helped with building renovations and extensions, but it was always a dream to build our own energy efficient house. Well, here we are having started (properly) in late 2020, and very proud of what we have achieved (so far!)

  1. Yes. It looks fecking brilliant
  2. I did that in a room about 6x8m. It nearly killed me 😁 To answer OP, no gluing, expansion gap around edges. Used trimmed tile edging to cover the gap.
  3. Duck.ai:- https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/schedule/2 - See CLASS 6 Point 1.
  4. For internal floor space up to 30m2, no building control required in England. Don't tell my friends about my uncalibrated tape measure.
  5. Yes, you're overthinking it. As long as the ribs are supported, the bit you will be standing on will be plenty strong enough. FYI - one of ours sits on a wooden frame suitably waterproofed
  6. Good to see that things are progressing well. That DPC and insulation looks the nuts
  7. Welcome. Have fun with your build.
  8. Finished, after a few false starts.
  9. Chased in with a hot knife - I posted a video on here when I did it. Most services are in our web joist ceilings. We also have the standard 0.24 U blocks. We didn't go bonkers with AT and got a 1.8 result. I've since blocked up some major known leak points but can't be bothered with a retest. Our heating was not on much last winter.
  10. About 300mm in my case
  11. That is a neat solution. Maybe a bit OTT even for me 😀
  12. Youtube has answered A plate between the top of the wall and the panel, then the eaves flashing goes over the top. The water falls between the two.
  13. Anyone there? The hub seems a quiet slow place these days. Either that or I've upset you all 🙂

    Form factor

    Good for you.
