solid aluminium will be cold to the touch, I used to have ally in a previous place, always a cold feel to the window. I would go ally clad timber if you want better performance, you won’t achieve it with just aluminium.

Pull it all out and put an insulated raft in. fixes all the cold bridge issues in one go.

Stay overnight in the hotel, you are better having 5 hours there and then a night off and return in the morning to take a look at all the things that you think need further investigation.

High pressure gas line. But you probably don’t need that do you.

Well I liked it.

They will out live you, if nervous get a can of cold galv and spray the ends.

Yes they do, if you hang a pipe from hangers and go back in 10 years they look like a banana put a piece of pipe in a rack for 6 months and go and get it out, again it will look like a banana.

Bed and haunch in lean mix concrete, full bed, never bed on just pads and don’t hang from hangers unless visible, as it will droop leaving sags in the pipe.

Duct under the slab, how would you pull a new cable in if you surround it in insulation and screed over it. Unless you duct it there as well, don’t underestimate how many cable ducts you will have coming in and out. I think I have something like 5 electrical ducts up to my plant cupboard. 1 in and 4 out to feed things in the garden.

Why not cut the barbs off,if that’s all you can get

All I will say is re think the durisol part.

Why not, I have two outside taps coming off before it enters the house.

Normal floor eps is only 70kpa, so yours is fine.

Ok then mr Nick @Nickfromwales, what regs say you have to have a bath. I hadn’t planned on putting a bath in, but at the last minute did, so if the house didn’t have a bath, what then.

Did I mention any names ??

We all ponder the same question. But you are fairly amusing, so carry on. At least your posts don’t go on for ever and ever and ever like a certain bloke we know.

If you don’t fix it now it will mess everything up the further down the line, fix it now before it’s too late.

Was £5.50 LM when I brought mine. I have another project that I need ?? Will need to keep my 12 year old truck another year or two.

Ask the roof designer. You should have a truss layout sheet with all the connections listed on it. All hold down details and uplift straps should be on the same drawing.

If you put something cheap and nasty under that open gable, you will regret it. Needs to be something a bit tasty.

The cedar was eye wateringly expensive, and the oil also, add the two together and it’s getting up with the price of those aluminium panels.

Cedar here, if you think it’s expensive to buy, wait until you oil it. I don’t know where the prices come from ?? would be cheaper to buy my own forest.

Can you not do it below with a false ceiling.

No fixings in my base track at all, just lots of pu sealant applied as door track went in, then another tube inside and out, you would need to rip it out with an excavator if you wanted to take it out.

i used it under my sliders, 400kg on it, it won’t hold a screw though. Do you really need screws in the cill area.
