Dependant on cannibalism I'm afraid. Rats will look at a dead stable mate and - in my experience within 24 hours - eat their dead Bessy Friend. Mostly I gather and dispose of all the rats shot in one session. But I sometimes leave one or two rats I have shot as bait for others (saves my time). Rats are amazingly clean.

Ours: 77 sq m = £10K claim for us . Hmmm? Not sure whether that means much, but I can't see you missing a trick Gary...... 🤔

Come on baby, it must be wet by now......

Six months from now you'll be itching to build an estate never mind a house, and you'll be making poor Helen roof all of them 🤭

Here's all of Gary's posts { @nod ) https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/profile/176-nod/ For reference click on his screen-name and you'll be taken to anyone's profile- and content

So @Mulberry View there you have it. Between us @Jenki, @JohnMo (and @Russell griffiths ghost) your three options. Mine? Red Lead, yearly. 😑

I wuz justabout to say that @Jenki or @Russell griffiths will tell you to get it anodised or whatever it's called. Cos I asked the same question yurs ago. Hmmm. I ignored their sage responses cuz I was broke (still am) 5 years later, less broke, I wish I'd taken their advice. Got myself a proper Forth Bridge now. Still, keeps me out of HerIndoors hair innit. 😔

Pressure test, pressure test, pressure test.

I submitted mine and, beyond receipt for the documentation, heard nothing (2022) . A good while later ( 6 months?) during a random quick look at my Octopus account I found that I'm on Flexible Octopus. I expect I missed an email

We have 3.84kW peak on the roof. Main focus: self consumption. All solar directed to a 14kWh capacity water heater. Here's my export for this year so far (£11.88 in total)

That is just beautiful. A real treat to the eye.

The thing about BuildHub is its diversity of membership : and thus opinion. Its always an adjunct to our (your?) own thinking. Often not what you want to hear. And man is that useful: because I need to know why I'm not doing what I might reasonably be expected to do And Christ on a Bike self building is privileged, full of noise, stressed - but above all lonely.

This is unbelievably difficult. But something has to give. What? Only you can decide. Spend your money on; * technical advice. * SWMBO comfort * A SMART plan (Short Measured Achievable Relevant Tmebound) You have a roof. It's not leaking. Am I right? Get on with the rest of the house. Roof (top hat or no) can come later with mature reflection. Nothing about self building is ideal. 10 years into a 3 year project has taught me that.

Well come on .... is it wet yet?

Hair on it is coming later .... you need to learn delayed gratification
