Do you want, or need the extra insulation upstairs? if not why not just get a frame company to build a frame that steps out seems an expensive solution to the problem, and a pain to fit, 250mm fixings cor blimey.

The only internal doors I have in my entire house are on the bedrooms

Norrsken, a bit pricey.

We had to drop rationel as they couldn’t supply our large windows in one piece, they started to split them into 3 separate components which was not what I wanted.

If I go there I'll certainly be digging a deep hole I can lend you a digger. ??

I thought you where core filling it, so will be plenty strong enough. Get it up get it finished move on to the next job. Remember you have a raised deck to build in Wales.

Why. Just whack it in as it is, will see you out.

I wonder if this could work, could you have heating in the entire slab but add additional insulation under units to keep the heat from rising up under the units. Silly idea. What you think peeps.

Is it not identified in your party wall agreement what limit of insurance you need, and by whom.

Ok mr realist here. Are you sure that A frame will comply with building regs, I have looked at these and they struck me as being more for holiday lets. Do you live in Gloucestershire now, I live in Cirencester and regularly look at building plots anywhere from Tewksbury to Cirencester for the budget you are looking at they are not exactly sought after plots, they are normally infill blocks squashed on the end of a row of local authority houses. I hope you can prove me wrong, and I wish you all the luck in the world, but I think your figures are unrealistic.

Morning all, so I know about not having pipes under kitchen units and stuff, so if I look at my ground floor and have a quick guess I would say 20% of the floor will have one thing or another on it so no pipes underneath. Does this not lead to cold areas of the slab, so making the system work harder as the cold areas pull heat from the heated areas. Would it not be better to heat the whole floor but to a lower temperature. Ta very much.

Well I think you all just pissed on the original posters fireworks. You bunch of meanies.

That’s a fibreglass canopy made in a factory and installed on site. Looks like it leans backwards towards wall. To confirm this get s hosepipe and simulate a bit of rain, see if it tracks back against wall put a spirit level on underside of canopy, I bet it slopes backwards. Re, fit leaning away from house

Looking at your drawing, depending on depths could you not have a manhole in the exact location in the first drawing but outside the building line, so your new pipes run shallow over the top of the sewer, then outside to a manhole, this then drops down into the sewer.

As long as you can rod unblock you can put it wherever you want, there are no hard and fast rules, you need to demonstrate a method that works. With your long house wouldn’t having rodding eyes at the far end be a long way to go, surely your second drawing is fairly simple.

Where are you? I could come and see if it’s any good, or a disaster ??

Not yet, but I’m looking into it.

Common sense should tell you not having any outside rodding access is not sensible. ???????

I prefer your second option. Hate the first version. ??

I was going to say the same as peter, the thickness of your box section may not be thick enough to resist pull out, I have fixed handrails before ( not glass ) and the box was cut and internally plated to add thickness to the bolt areas. 25mm thick I seam to remember but it is many years ago.

A tower is no good for block work as you want to run the whole length of wall not just a 2.4m bit. Builders bandstands and planks, board out the whole length in one go, building up to 2.5m will mean you only need them 1.2 high, if worried you can get a hand rail for them, look on e bay lots of second hand on there. If you don’t mind spending a bit and recover at the end buy some kwickstage scaffolding and board out your entire run of block work, saves getting up and down, load blocks one end and carry around at working height.

When this was discussed in the other thread I think the thoughts where any pipe work on show would condensate leaving a drippy pipe making a mess.

Nick I have worked in a couple of houses that had cool rooms with glass walls and doors, big enough to get 20-30 people inside, luxury houses £5 million type places, so you must be able to get the kit.

Mine is slightly different as we have a raised seam metal roof, so very different to your normal under tile type membrane.

This is very true, one reason I have never posted my floor plans is I dont really want other people’s opinions, I’m building it for me and the wife and we live very different lives to most people. Decide what you want and then ask for good ways to achieve this, not what would you build.
