Evening. wife is shopping for a new washing machine and I’ve noticed a couple come with hot and cold feeds. what’s anybody’s opinion on the hot feed models, is there a massive saving on not having to heat a cold water feed, but if it takes hot from our cylinder, then that has to be replaced, and washer running during the day with solar making electricity during the day. are we talking a couple of pennies saving rather than just a cold feed machine. confused as usual 🤯

Knock it down then. ive done what you have described 4 times now, buy the worst house in the best road, I’ve then sold them as the most expensive house on that street at the time of selling. show us a pic.

I would seed the paddock in a wildflower mix, far nicer than grass. I did a couple of hundred metres, last winter and now it looks excellent.

I have a couple of free standing units, I got them all lined up and used a PU adhesive around each leg, nice ring around each foot.

Open your own account and ask for the same rates as he is getting.

What a load of bollox fit what you want, if bc questions it just point to the ring doorbell, if they get arsy then drill an aftermarket one in. but I would push back against this. are you in Beirut or somewhere.

Yes. I can count on one hand the lads I’ve had here. Piling contractor. plasterer floor tiler electrician plumber nobody else planned until it’s finished. I reckon I’ve saved over 200 grand in labour

Shouldn’t there be a cavity tray above the flat roof area, not on top of the steel any water penetrating the cavity wall will drip down and sit on the steels. very slim chance of water getting in here, but I thought that was standard when you change a cavity wall. I would insulate that cavity up to the height of the top of the warm roof.

Have a look at a dry verge system

Do this. ⬆️

In that case you should follow manufacturer recommendations, all mine can be covered in soil.

Just ensure the soil doesn’t contain large stones, backfill by hand and compact in layers of 150mm just with your feet, don’t use a wacker plate on top of the tank. wacker plate or substantial compaction around the surrounding area.

22m is too small, I live in a cabin we have on site, it’s 6m x7m i would not want it much smaller, you could go 7x5 any smaller and I think it would be a painful experience.

Wait until you start building and you hit the 6th anniversary from when you put that first spade in the ground. now that’s a shock.

What’s your budget ? show us a pic of what you want to build how much is a finished one worth near you.

Get a higher loading xps. 500 or more. They build car parks on it.

Look for a frosty tap, will fit any width wall, drains to the outside like you describe. frosty might be spelt frosti have a google.

build a cabin, we have lived in one of these for the last 2 years, it’s 6m x7m I couldn’t imagine living in a static with its skinny corridors and pokey bathroom.

Why will it warp, the time you have glued and clamped it to the glue lam that’s already there it will be as straight as the beam you fix it to.

What is at the other end of the gutter, can you put in an additional outlet, so one at either end. don’t worry about the fall that’s pretty irrelevant it’s about getting that water out of the gutter.

Where is the current cable, can you not keep that live going to the tea hut for site broadband.

Yes different ducts for each service, look up the drawings that show the separation distances.

Write a list of the bits you think will not work and let’s go through them one at a time. I personally think you have a few problems that aren’t really as bad as you think. why do you think the box gutter won’t work, because it’s too shallow to contain the amount of water that’s being distributed to it. have you been up there and studied it in a heavy storm. gutters are not normally the problem, it’s the lack of out let’s draining the gutters, so if it’s filling up beyond capacity, then it needs another outlet. have you bought the roof windows, if not can you not change the design to fit the upstand you have.

Are you unhappy with the whole roof, I thought it was a couple of upstands around a window that where being difficult.

You can go to court, you can win, but getting funds from someone who knows they might lose is hard as it’s easy to move funds or close companies. a court case could take a year and nobody freezes the assets until the outcome, you just hope there’s something there at the end.
