Haven’t yet, just first fixing plumbing now will be ASHP

And they have a habit of floating off in a flood

They are legally entitled to remove any vegetation back to the boundary, up to the full height as long as, it doesn’t harm the tree/ hedge doing so. It would be fairly sensible to think that you would need to allow a bit of space to erect the new fence.

How far are you from the drain, that’s a lot of fall.

£10,000 cheap, I had a quote of £14,000 and one of £16,000

It’s that round and oval stuff with the supposed anti bacterial lining. The oval stuff must be plated with gold particles £192 for a 20m length

Yes it’s good stuff, look at their website and study the tech drawings of how to instal properly, you will need to tank well as you haven’t used moisture resistant plasterboard, but you should tank well regardless of what board you use do not scrimp on this stage, your expensive tray will be worthless if water is getting around it.

Trying to establish the correct boundary is a mine field, land registrimaps are so inaccurate, do you think it is in the wrong place or are you annoyed they removed some of the hedge. You would not normally require council consent for a fence on a domestic property.

Absolutely everyone who came to my site with shoes on raped me.

They do make a horizontal tank.

Cannot see a problem, it looks well on their side, if you measure from the ground on their side it would only be 4 foot high on your side so not much use really. TBH I think you will have a real struggle to get anybody to see much wrong with it. Trim the hedge hard back and do some more planting this winter.

If you have a tf company doing your frame why not get a deposit paid and lock in the price.

You will need to waterproof the whole shower wet area tanking membrane with specific waterproof corner sections and details. Do not be thinking you can just tile the plasterboard, that’s a disaster waiting to happen. Lots of posts on here about bathroom tanking @Onoff is the man who likes taking lots and lots of pictures.

Anti condensation coating and vents.

I would have a real good sort out and let the removal co store it. Some removers do very good rates if you don’t need access to your stuff, we have been looking into this for the wife’s parents if you stick it in self storage it can cost a fair bit whereas the removers are 2/3 rds cheaper as long as you don’t want to keep turning up to look in your box. Ive owned dozens of shipping containers and they are good for tools and ride on lawnmowers and junk, but not soft furnishings.

What have you bought for your build that you consider to be the most overpriced for what it is. Im going to go with any ducting that goes with mvhr. To clarify why, I can buy any 110mm underground drainage bends for £4-5 a bend, so why is a 90degree bend for mvhr £11. I think the Chinese need to get in on the act to get the prices down.

I have seen a 450x450 brick pillar snap clean off at ground level when the gate swung in a gust of wind, I think you need to re think this and look at gate type and location steel post in the centre of the pillars concreted into the foundation at least 600 into the ground, and if ground is loose through excavation for services then a lot further.

It won’t have chance to bubble up squirt it all on, slap on timber, fire 34- 45 65mm ringshanks into it, it will still be there when you long gone.

If you lift that up I bet you it ends up in a skip, thats a monumental job to lift it and relay. Unless you are madly in love with it the labour involved would far outweigh skipping it and buying new engineered wood floor, the time you have sanded out the mess the monkey plasterers have made you could have laid new stuff.

I didn’t submit any drawings from an architect everything was basically as you say prepared by others and just neatly put into a big document. Piling drawings and specification by piling co ringbeam layout, steel schedule, loadings by piling co. Wall spec from manufacturers wall reinforcement from structural engineer roof design by timberframe co condensation risk, by insulation co drainage by co that did our flood risk assessment. Sap assessment,, blah blah blah the list goes on, it’s all available to you just depends how complicated your house is and how much you want to get involved, if you don’t mind a couple of weeks of collecting files and formatting it. It all got packaged up, nothing to add by architect unless you have finicky details that you need to point out, but these really need giving to the guys on site, so you can get the technical details from manufacturers and print it off yourself. Building control will soon soon tell you what they are missing.

I don’t think anybody would price this by the m i would look at it in days, I would look and think day up to damp, mess about drilling, couple of days until we need a hop up, mess about with trestles could I do it in a week?NO so what about 7 days ?Maybe , so shall I put 10 on it to be on the safe side. Yep, that’s about how much thought your average bricky would put in, very little measuring. Just a stab at an estimate based on previous jobs and estimated pain in the arse factor.

I hate all this talk of so much a metre, your job is small and fiddly, if you put 10,000m in front of a co it might get their interest, 10 days work doesn’t really get you any discount. I would look at peters prices and add 30% as he seams to live in the cheapest part of England I’ve ever come across. How are you tying into the house, starter profiles being screwed on, who fits this? how much a m you paying for that ? lots of other stuff to take into account, you cannot just get a book out and say it’s so many m, what is the going rate for cutting up a gable, how are you getting the correct shape for the gable? do you have trusses there to work from, who is going to lift the truss up and fit in place so they can cut to it ? What about piers, your not building a single skin block wall 5m long without piers, how much did you allow for this??? thats probably a £15-18000 garage, so I don’t think it’s that bad really.

This is the add.

Solar panels for sale by me, are they suitable for a home install i think they are £10 a panel.

Not wanting to slag off your job. Why do people not paint the plantroom behind manifolds before they fit them. Baffles me.
