That looks like the cheapest polythene you can get. if it’s a warm roof shouldn’t the vcl already have gone in under the insulation. is this the same builder that didn’t seal up all the roof area that you had to redo. and the same one that built the timberframe I questioned a section of your timberframe saying it was wrong but you didn’t reply to that bit. if it is then you need a new builder.

You can get a handheld version get that fora day as a tester. what are you actually try to achieve.

I looked into it, but you are limited to only a few designs as the machines have a certain shape jaw for forming the shape it’s a bit dated so might fit a traditional build, but not anything modern unless you find someone with different profile jaws.

You can get a self leveling compound designed for forklift traffic in warehouses I don’t know what it looks like, probably grey and boring looking if that what you are looking for. you could do one room with expansion gap at a door way as a tester.

Exactly that, you answered your own question.

The cables will probably come out into the back of a rotary isolator, so you won’t see those as there’s a big box over the cable holes. the pipes will have pipe insulation over them so again the hole in the timber will have a substantial lump of insulation covering it. flow and return pipe individually communication cables on their own supply gables one hole per supply to each isolater the holes for the pipes should be about 75mm so the insulation goes all the way through the wall, don’t but it up to the wall or you will be heating the core of the wall up.

Are you going to get the original building cleaned up a bit.

Lovely brickwork @BadgerBodger

Cross over behind the chimney and run up the side of the dormer.

Your builder still thinks it’s 1980. break at dpc for me.

Only if it leaks, mcalpine products don’t leak if fitted well. what’s your other choice, don’t pack the toilet up more than 3-4 mm it will look proper turd.

Flush it see what happens IMPO the whoosh of the pan emptying will send all stuff well past that pan connector, then gravity takes over with a bit of momentum from the flush. nothing will come backwards.

Get them to re do it, or don’t pay.

If you are still weighing up what floor system to use, then it’s a good job it’s raining as you are not ready yet. you need all of this completely ironed out first. Just as a few examples, before you start you need the numbers of all the local muck away Lorries in your phone, not one bloke you spoke to but 3-4 of them, if the stuff is piling up and the lad you spoke to can’t do today then you just phone the next. the same with a concrete pump, have two lined up, talk to both talk about access and anything else. go to the local concrete company and open up an account. Dumper hire, if a dumper breaks down do you know a company who will drop one off the next morning. all this stuff can turn a simple job into a disaster get very good at disaster management, have a plan for every eventuality.

It’s 240m from my front door to the bin collection point, why does it matter where they are kept. it’s all this bollox that makes this country an utter shambles.
