Big Jimbo

Jack it up, but put any new supports down onto an internal wall, rather that a ceiling joist. if you are going to re-tile you might as well get rid of the sag.

I have never liked gin, and think it tastes like perfume. However, Slo Gin, Nice.......

The first thing i would do is look at your new shed security. My previous next door neighbour, who was big into road, and mountain biking had his shed done 4 times in 2 years. I was always convinced that it was somebody who knew him, and knew he had £50 grands worth of bikes in there. Also if you are running electrics, fit an alarm. Enjoy your new shed.

Gave up Ferd.... I am just going to build the One new house now. It will be too big for me, so the idea is to build, flog, and bugger off. To be honest, i will prob make more money doing just the One. I wanted to do Two, because it would have been better for society in my opinion.

There is no law as far as i know, as to how posh a shed can be. when finished it will have cost me £13.5 grand. When i knock the house, it can be used for on site tool storage. I figure that when i sell the gaff, i should get my money back, as the posh shed, can be used as an office, gym, hobby space, gaff for an aged parent, visitors short term stay area, sex den, etc, etc, and i had enough trouble getting through planning to knock the bungalow at 600sq ft, and replace with 4 bed, 4 bath house of 2500sq ft. it just would have been a straw too much for the camel. Even if it won't get me my money back, it should make the house more saleable.

All i can say is "what a bloody nightmare" I think i would have tried to get a new basket waste for the sink. Take the rest of the night off.

How far from the main house soil drainage will you be ? and it it uphill or down to the house drainage ?

How many times Ferd !!!!!! Its a shed you tart.

I think from memory that Fensa registration is about £300 per annum. I think the building reg fee is about £250 from memory. The building inspector who comes around wont have a clue about how you have fitted them. They will be more interested in if they have trickle vents, and offer a means of escape if required. Don't forget that if what you are replacing has no trickle vents, then you don't have to fit them in the new windows. I hate trickle vents, and always try to avoid them when i can.

Welcome. Well done for making the effort to try and stick it to the Big Society. Mortgage etc. How many water outlets will your caravan have ? Sinks, toilets, showers, baths etc ?

Lvt dry laid, and blinds fitted. Floor will get glued down Monday. My back has had enough for today.

I think for 30 sq mt you are tight on your budget. Depends what end finish you want. My posh shed at about 25 sq mt will when finished, including flooring, blinds, etc will have cost me 13.5k. this is with all the work being done between me and the Mrs. Like everything, i do think the cost will relate to how much of the work you are willing to undertake, and how much you will need others to do. Where i am in the S.E. i would expect my posh shed to have cost 30k if i had wanted no involvement.

If you do that the gully should be able to take away any water. Whatever the wall has been coated with won't help. I'm interested now, so keep me posted. I would guess that is where the old slate damp course is, but on those old buildings you always have to dig around to find it.

I thought damp, black walletc...... looking at the grout, and at that wall to the left of the bathroom window. I still think it could be, but could also be water going down through the tiled window cill when the shower is in use. Rip off a tile and let us know.

Or have them "Removed "

Looking good.

Yes

Yes it will. skip the trim, and cut them as tight to the ceiling as you can. Mitre off the back top edge to make sure they don't kick out.

I feel very lucky. I see bats every evening in the garden. With my knock and build i'm not required to have any reports bat or otherwise.

Sounds like a plan.

I hate tiling.....When ever i have seen pro tilers, they always use the little plastic wedges, rather than spacers. I asked one fella why, and he said that no matter how much you pay for tiles, they are never exactly the same size. Bloody tiling.....

IN my opinion, flush.

On a job a few years ago i met a polish tiler. It was facinating watching him. He measured nothing. He would hold a tile up, look at what he needed to cut, put it down and cut it. Even including going around sockets etc. He did mitres on a external corners, and used no trim anywhere. His tiling was the best i had ever seen, and boy was he quick. I wanted some tiling done, and spoke to him about it. I showed him photos of the room, and he simply said "A grand" I had been let down, and having seen his work said OK. A few days later he turned up, worked for the day, finished the job, got his money, and off he went. The tiling looked fantastic. The only strange thing about him was that at lunchtime, he went outside for a hour, put some foreign drum and bass rubbish on full blast in his car. Striped to his underpants, and laid down on the drive to sunbathe.

I do hope your ceiling line is level ? Nothing worse than a tile at say 60mm one end of the room, and 90mm at the other end of the room.

Grooves on Right or left though ProDave ? I could never decide on my own kitchens, so always ended up with both bloody sides.
