Took ya 20 minutes. Must try harder.

I wanted to see how long it takes them.

I was going to say i will come up and give you a hand with the building work, if you could adjust the wife a bit, if you know what I mean @jimmyhorns bit of nip n tuck. ??

I would say the wall has been built on standard poor garden wall type footings, it’s done a bit of settling. Yes the shrubs wouldn't have helped, but I don’t think I would loose any sleep over it. @Jilly well done spotting ceanothus from those pics.

Thanks all I can work with that now and do a bit of planning.

On my prices I make that about £9000 worth of windows and I paid £2000 for the fitting of my lift n slide door plus 2 windows.

We have laminated in whole house only added about 5%.

Blowerproof is a bit expensive, but if you think you will use 3-4 tubs then £200-£250 is not a lot for some good insurance.

G,day all the vanity units I’ve had before had doors on them, now the ones we are looking at have drawers. What sort of void space is behind the drawers to accommodate pipework. I can look up tech drawings, I just thought some of you good people might have some pictures for better ideas. Cheers peeps.

As far as I’m aware, but I’m no expert only what I read on here, I don’t think you are responsible for any cost, a lot on here have offset their connection fee with the cost that the dno will incur removing their poles from your land. Bit of bartering and you should get what you want.

Costs on what ? moving the cables, or building a house.

Move house, it will be easier in the long run. Or go and buy a longer drill bit, drill all the way through and push in a bit of 20mm plastic pipe as you retrieve the drill. Then slide through the copper.

I used a planning consultant for my place, if they had of suggested that we use my wife’s maiden name so nobody knew it was us I would have done it, there’s many strange ways to do things, just start getting your head around the fact that they are doing something.

Regarding the cuts, just cut them twice, you cannot put a cut edge up against a factory edge it will look shit.

But you also don’t need to own a property to apply for consent on it.

I think you need to get it in your head what the end game is and see how you feel about it. Lets say the end game is to apply to convert it into a house. How does that grab you, doesn’t matter how they went about it, what are your feelings if it happened. You then have a few choices. Live with it move fight it all the way. We have recently fought ought and won a case against a neighbour who was trying to set up a commercial enterprise, it cost a lot of neighbours a lot of time and money to fight him, but in the end we won. We estimate he lost £70,80000 fighting us. Work out what it means to you and take the appropriate action.

You can buy a liquid air sealing paint, paste type stuff, you either paint it on thick around all joist ends and penetrations, or spray it. I wouldn’t use sand and cement for any detail work as it will dry crack and leave gaps. Flexible is your friend. I have probably used 25 sausage tubes of air sealing paste to go around all the nooks and crannies.

@Balraj Appadu, why the 4 inch nudura, just use the 6 inch you could land an aeroplane on my roof.

No your parge coat is the vcl as long as it’s done well, you need to look at how joists will be fixed to the walls and how you seal around them.

Please tell me you will tape and paint that wall before you fit it.

I like acrylic eggshell, avoid oil based as it yellows badly. Buy a couple of litre tins to have a check first.

I was going to say exactly the same, get a smaller cylinder.

Doesn’t that pic show 3m to the toxic materials not the corner of the building @ProDave

I was thinking the same, what is the max discharge temp, then what would that be 3-4 m away.
