No need just get them skimmed and door linings after

I would also look into the hold down fixings, unless it’s on a different drawing, those spit fired nails will not be adequate into trench blocks. needs a hold down strap bolted down and secured to some of the studs.

No final skim coat. Easy fill easy fill light sand mist coat emulsion primer coat fine surface filler mist coat two top coats.

Does that mean you can now rip their septic tank out ?? go on do it. DO IT, DO IT.

Sod them, build what you want, spend a couple of quid more on a good consultant, and less on an architect.

That went sour very quickly

If you use easy fill 60 you can build the areas up in 2-3mm layers, you can also sand it back so you can feather the edges in. make sure you primer the deep dry areas.

I cut my own, stone slips factor in £3-400 for a good machine and a couple of weeks labour.

Stick to 400 spacing everywhere

Two concrete lintels.

Use the two part one, comes with its own liquid additive use any tilers primer, follow the instructions on the primer.

Stick the bricks together with epoxy, the stuff you fix threaded rod in a hole with, just a blob needed like no nails.

It needs to be accessed for maintenance, they do fail.

Winner winner chicken dinner

Timber prop across the gap, spread some muck on it, pull the prop out when you have built another course on.

You can get a leveling compound that is designed as the finished floor, you want this, not all self levelling compounds are designed to be walked on for a prolonged time.

If your putting a counter batten on your going to be punching dozens of holes in the membrane the staples are only to hold it in place while you fit the counter batten. you can get a butyl tape that fits on the back of the counter batten to seal any penetrations. I’ve never seen anyone use it.

Panels of what.

I would take out my own to cover the entire build, I’m sure his won’t cover certain things. he takes a week off and locks the site securely, with proof, junkies come in and burn it down, would you not need to provide proof he was at fault in some way for his insurance to pay out ??? I would not want the risk £1500 to insure everything you have in the project, i would pay it.

First fix it all in one go. two electricians will first fix the entire house in a week the same for the plumber, use a manifold system for the plumbing and he can keep individual rooms shut off, and bring them on line one room at a time. if you do some labouring it will help them out.

Before you fit the board, run a fat bead of some sort of air tight caulk along it, then tape over the join afterwards. belt and braces.

My neighbours have built a large sauna on metal skids, just like a pair of ski’s he can then drag it to different locations with a large mower/ small tractor.

You will need to insulate the pipes well to prevent the heat escaping into the cavity. I would core out a large hole and run the pipes inside insulation, inside a rigid plastic duct, seal the dpm with a mixture of tape and liquid dpm.

Morning. need some pipework run to gas up a cooker hob, it will run from 2 LPG cylinders outside, it’s only for the hob. what sort of paperwork should I be looking to get from the installer. cheers.
