Big Jimbo

Welcome. That sounds exciting. Best of luck. If you get some time, post your plans up.

Yes i see that, which is a naughty. But from where he says the water is coming in , i would expect that if he had a problem it would be the roof.

Rich 123. Did you find out what your problem was ?

I thought he used to say "Keep em peeled"

I'm talking about having your sips panels signed off. Building control, or an engineer. I doubt you will get either to do it. Sips panels are made in a factory under high pressure. If you decide to either stick build or timber frame, you will still have to find somebody to sign it off.

I would be concerned that you would not be able to get your own sips panels certified.

Sorry, are you intending to buy pre made sips panels, or make your own ?

I think the fear of crime is something that bothers a lot of people. Me included. In the 60's and 70's i had so much freedom to play out with my mates etc. At the weekend, or school holidays i would take off on my bike after breakfast, and not return till dinner time. My mum or dad never indicated that they were concerned. My own 3 daughters however were never allowed such freedom, and i wonder if it was because of the media. We became much more aware of peado's etc through the news media. I have always had, House alarm. CCTV, and extra van locks.I have always worked on the basis of wanted to make my neighbours easier to burgle than me. An old pals from a few years ago caught a burglar in his house. He detained the guy for several hours and tortoured him before calling the police to come and pick him up. He scared the guy so badly that the guy wet and poo'ed himself. My friend was prosecuted, and got 6 years for kidnap, and had to pay the guy a substantial sum of money for mental stress etc. The local cops felt quite sorry for my mate, but he was considered to have gone too far. I have often wondered if the burglar decided on a change of career after that. These days crims seem to be total scum, and don't seem to worry about alarms, cctv etc. Up untill recently i kept a vicious dog. Basically, there were 10 people that he would not touch. Everybody else he would attack. He caused some serious damage to a couple of undesirable visitors once. They never complained. I think they were just glad to get away. When i decide to get another it will be a personal protection dog. Local people soon get to know what you have, and i believe that most burglars are either local, or will have checked a place out before.

Good luck. Are you thinking of making your own sips panels ?

The other One is having a storage bits clear out...Two weeks later finding out you could have done with a few of those old bits.

I love the, "I'll hide them there, coz i know they will be safe" Only to find them months later when you have bought new bits. We all do that.

You are still a right tart.

My vote is with Peter. You have lost the compression ring you tart.

I did a deck at my daughters. it was about 450mm high. I had forgot about the 300mm planning rule. I stuck a 2mt high fence on top of the deck to prevent my daughter being able to see straight into next door. To be honest it blocked a lot of light from there patio. If i had been them, i would have complained.

If those steps are more than 600mm from the ground to the deck surface, you need a handrail on those steps.

I thought she would have been gone by the end. He just came across as the sort of guy who would be sending her an email to book in lovemaking on Wednesday week at 8.33pm. He would then be late, because he would be probing his temp sensors. (I thought she looks hot)

I like those Ferd. I would consider taking planning decisions away from L.A.s . In my opinion the quality is poor, and the local planning committee are "not in my back yard" The other thing that i have a problem with is "Making new buildings fit in with the local venacular." That is my pet hate. Lets all build new stuff, that looks like old stuff. Lets never move our architectural style forward. Lets instead have roads of houses where in 25years, you won't be able to tell which one's in the road were built when.....because they all look the bloody same.

I would simply fill and re-paint. If they come back then investigate further. For now i wouldn't worry.

Get a couple of live traps up there. Load them with a chocolate button, and see what you catch.

To me it sounds like you have a dick head of a planner. There are a lot of them about. I think yours looks better than some of those you have pictured.

I just had a look. If you go ahead you will be responsible for shipping, import fees, transport, etc. I personally wouldn't touch it. Wouldn't be shocked if it never turned up. If you can't afford what you want, seek a cheaper alternative.

I could not get the ply to completly straighten out, so in the end has to resort to big magnet catches. I will try and do a vid later.

Find out which planning officer will be dealing with your application. Find out where he drinks. Hooker, Coke, Couple of photos. He will pass anything. Saves a lot of hassle.

Built a few storage cupboards into the posh shed. Also a sofa, and an occasional pull down bed. The birch ply was a pig. Warped, and a right pain to try and straighten it.

Steal away fella. A plumber friend told me to keep the feeds from the manifold to the rads to under 6mt each. Best of luck.
