I would go to a local battery specialist, and ask there opinion.

I think asking questions like this is like asking a committee, you will get a dozen different opinions whereas it’s your opinion that matters. Your the one that will need to look at it not me. I personally think you should have white walls grey windows pink curtains and blue shutters.

NR1620 Russell Griffiths PIPE LAYOUT REV A - FINAL COPY - A1 (46 High Street).pdf I have just had this design back and there is a bit I’m not happy with, now don’t look at all of it yet as there is a few things wrong that I have already notified them of, it’s the bit I’m about to mention I would like us to concentrate on, now I’m not a heating expert in any shape or form, but I do have a phd in common sense. So before I have a whinge I thought I would find out if I’m being stupid. If you look at the stairs there are 4 flow and returns all next to each other, now if these where spaced 100mm apart then surely the loops in the lounge would not need to be so long, and then when they turn left to return to the manifold they would fill up the hall, so no pipes needed in the hall. Tell me im mad or wrong, I can take it.

Ok sorry, I thought it had been done just now.

Are you using second hand pipe, looks very dirty, I’m no professional with soldered joints but I would give that lot a good clean before doing my joints.

I would watch how much water you put in it, it will get very heavy.

Why not use pre treated timber?? would they not use the chippings as a big toilet.

From what I have seen these two companies are like chalk and cheese.

Whoever made the cills ask the window company

Can you source the timber and get them made by a local joinery shop.

I have built two bungalows, and the costs are high for certain parts as the footprint is big, however I have found that being able to fit everything from a single lift of scaffolding is really nice, I built the laser one with no scaffolding at all but just bandstands and scaffolding boards.

Have you considered a harness and a safety strop so you can tie yourself on so you have both hands free.

If you are only working at 6m you might be better off getting some pole pruners, the type that clip together with either a saw on the end or loppers.

I went to visit lots of different build types and nudura just ticked the right boxes for me, you need to think about who’s building it and what their skil level is then look at all the products and look for bits missing look at BECO WALL FORM then look at Nudura Add up all the pros and cons and work it out. You cannot get somebody on here telling you, you must use this system

Have you seen mine for sale in the for sale adds, I got it from scaffolding supplies and will be selling it 20% below what I paid. Has been used for 1 year and it’s mint.

As Conor said.

To work out your views you need to set up a gauge rod go and buy a length of roof batten 4.8m long. Mark on it your finished floor height( roughly) then mark on it your ground floor ceiling height, then how high your floor joists will be roughly 300mm this will give you first floor height. If one of you holds it up it will give you an idea of how high you feet will be off the ground when stood upstairs go and get a big stepladder or hire a small scaffolding tower and set it up, both get up there with a cup of tea and have a good look and think. Spending £200 now could be the best decision you make. I will tell you a story about mine, we have stunning views, the sort of views you would pay hundreds of thousands for. we Have a BIG picture window in our bedroom, I showed my mate around the house a few months back, as we have known each other 30 years he speaks his mind with me which is cool, the conversation goes like this. Him. You cocked up here, you should have a patio door there me. Why him. So you can walk out of your bedroom and look at the view me. Who would want a patio door in the bedroom him. Well I have one in mine, it’s excellent me. Really, oh, how often do you use it?? him. Ooh I don’t know, haven’t been out of it for————— a few years I reckon, tbh I think we lost the key to it. So have a really good think of how YOU will use the house. Because of our views every designer we talked to wanted to put in 6-7m wide bi folding doors, we used to live in Australia so out there it would be the thing to do, but over here, really, how many days of the year will they be wide open, we went for a large sliding door and a big picture window so we can enjoy the view from the comfort of indoors.

Here’s a curve ball for you, have you thought of single storey our last house we built was single storey, the house we live in is a single storey and the new house we are building is single storey. Theres just two of us, we are not thinking of old age just yet we still think we’re both 25 and go out clubbing and dancing very regularly, we have just found not having to run up stairs to get your sunglasses you left on the bed is so convenient. We have 180m on the ground floor 3 beds, office,boot room, plantroom.

If he used beco He must be a saint. Imho it’s probably one of the worst icf products available. Has been around for years and has not moved forward. Im using NUDURA do a lot of looking around locally you might be surprised how many builds are around, there are 3 icf builds within 15mins of me and a good few more within an hours drive.

have you seen a website called HOUZZ, lots of ideas but be very careful it’s already pushed us £100,000 over budget.

if you go for upside down house, why not have a big outdoor area raised up like a big raised deck.

Bring it on bucko

Just a thing we used to do if you are not very successful and need to have a go at covering it up, we used to do this when we couldn’t find an exact brick match. Get two spare brickes and rub and rub the faces together vigorously, catching the grit and dust in a clean bucket paint a thin layer of waterproof pva onto the offending stain, chuck the dust at the pva and pat it gently with a soft sponge. You should be able to hide any marks and glue. Remember to stand a few m back when inspecting,as when it is all finished you will never go around inspecting it that closely again.

Not the whole house but I’m having a stone front elevation. My choice at the moment is being led by material availability. I live in an area with loads of local quarries so ideally I would use a local stone. However I don’t like the look of it and it looks to old lady cottage, when we are looking for sharp new world. So I think I’m going slips, even though it is not the logical answer, so I think your choice is down to what the finished product needs to look like.

Does this product let you do a walk through. I used a programme called ARCHITOUCH 3D that allow s you to walk through your design.
