I have also been warned to keep an eye on mgo boards.

I would ask the man fitting them, if you buy something he hates his rate to fit them will probably go up.

The thing is the company didn’t do a good job. I did it all. All they did was supply a product, I installed it well,thats what made their product look good, any thanks, nope f%%k all.

It’s not a big deal at all, but it just shows me what a complete disregard most people have nowadays for good old fashioned decency. As I said before a quick e mail to me and everything would be fine, I wouldn’t have a problem.

So I’m confused now. If you have planning permission for an extension, why not build within that area that already has consent.

Our site is a SSSI so every couple of years a man comes around and climbs in the lakes and counts all the weed and creepy crawlies. We have recently dug a silly little pond to accept our water run off, the man from natural England loved it he was paddling around whooping with joy at the stuff in it, it has only been dug for 4-5 months, so I think these little ponds all play an important part in the grand scheme of things.

Are the numbers not height points, not necessarily a longitudinal or latitude point. So basically a datum point above sea level.

So it looks like I’m going today, who wants to buy me a bacon sandwich worth a try ??

Thank you @newhome that worked a treat.

Morning all, anybody got any ticket offers, the one I have expired last night?? ta very much.

What’s the go daddyo many going im sitting here wondering if to go today or tomorrow or if I’ve seen it all and it’s the same old window salesman telling me that their quadruple glazed xenon filled light reflecting windows will increase my life span by 20 years.

@Ian @recoveringacademic The money is not important, it’s more the fact that this just shows me how the world is nowadays it would have been very easy for the company to send me a message asking for permission, TBH I would have been flattered a bottle of wine in the post I would have been ecstatic. It just annoys me that everyone thinks they can do as they please without a bit of common courtesy. I have gone from being slightly intrigued, to marginaly pissed off.

Hi Ian thanks for the reply what would be an appropriate fee.

Ok, been doing a bit of research the pics I sent the piling man are different from the ones that are being used on their website. So they must have been uploaded from my blog on this forum. Would a mod contact me to let me know the forums feelings on this.

I find my council very helpful you can go in and use their software to look stuff up, and ask as many questions as you like, and the girls behind the counter are nice to look at.

I sent a couple of pics to my piling contractor, who I have got on very well with, unbeknown to me he I presume has sent them on to a steel reinforcement company, who now have it as their banner pic on their home page. Im not after money or a discount on future orders, I’m just slightly annoyed at not being asked.

So a fellow build hubber commented that he had just read my blog, and he had found that one of the suppliers I had recommended has now got pictures of my build on the home page of their website. Without my knowledge or consent, is this allowed, should I have the hump, should I contact them for an explanation, or do you not have any control over pictures you take anymore. Slightly pissed off from Cirencester.

Why not go to the council office and ask them ?

this is how I treat the menials, er sorry work colleagues.

260-300mm

There was a proper metal ramp with handrail for sale on flee bay i wonder if there could be a market to buy one and keep selling it on to other self builders.

I think that price @Andrew is about right mine was about 120m 450x450 I had quotes of about £12000. I did mine myself for about £7000 its very labour intensive and I had 2 quotes for the piling and they did not want to quote for the ring beam as they said it was not a good money earner.

Why not have a drain in the middle and slope it all to the centre.

as Long as you only need to plane the ends for a snug fit my roof rafters required a plumb cut on both ends that I didn’t have a saw deep enough to cut through in one pass.
