In which case, the Planners won't care....

You will have submitted a site plan. That plan ought to be based on the relevant Land Registry documents . Is your plan based on the LR map?

He Must Be Obeyed OK? Its a condition of membership for BH..... (its in the small print) ? Your question can't be answered accurately without a good deal more detail: but my feeling is that the costs are likely to be so similar that it isn't worth worrying about.

Members take from BH content what they will. We cannot make assumptions about content not read. Or read but not remembered.

Anyone else getting up at sparrow fart to start on their build outside, knocking off at lunchtime, back on at 4? Trouble is between 1 and 4 I find myself doing internal jobs too. In other words doing an extra four hours a day. Can't take a joke at the moment. Too hot.

If you need anything from the manual translating, I'm yer man. Vorsprung durch Uberzetung !

I loathe this government's behaviour. The sleaze, the mendacity, the venality, the nepotism. I'm almost sure many within the government hate it too. But -initially- I could not have made a better job of keeping folk off the streets. And I'm grateful for that. What really irks is the bad example - not to say dishonourable behaviour -the inability to give a straight answer - shown by many in high office: it chips away at my preparedness to forgive, to move on, to be magnanamous.

Why not block it out from the inside? Create yourself a nice little dwelling house. No need for paint All the rage in West Lancs

Our design was to hang them on a rim board. EziJoist will help you with the design if you ask them.... I had a bit of an issue with mine and they were very helpful.

From my office window in Berlin years ago I regularly saw the devastating effect of tank tracks on well maintained German roads. It was the slewing at the roundabouts that caused the most aggro. The local Tankies exercised their right of passage through Berlin every month. They were always followed by a road repair crew. I watched bemused at a protester who enraged by their passage, stopped infront of the column, threw her bike at the lead tank. Whereupon the whole column about-faced and buggered off. AS all four tanks turned-tail, 400 meters of the road was shredded as if by a huge grater. The mess was a sight to behold. The surface of your tank park will need to be very tough indeed - and I should think the tanks'll need rubberised tracks too.

Ahh, old bits of MDF ... just imagine what Val Singleton could have made with your old wardrobe..... and earned a living showing us all the ones she made earlier. Bless.

My current nightmare, trying to get our facia straight. At the moment it's as straight and level as a propeller. If ours was as straight as yours I'd be happy as Larry, @Omnibuswoman. Your few mm here or there... pah! When I get back from the gym, I'll take a photo that should cheer your Sunday morning up....

Perhaps you meant ... suggest... above? and I've tried the following technique on many occasions (while arbitrating between warring factions in the same building).... If possible, get your neighbours to come round to your place, and at the same time, someone else to slam (close) your neighbour's door (shut) while they are in your place. That way they'll understand your problem. There's a chance that they'll - on their own initiative - close the door more carefully. Cheaper by far. With care, the answer to your problem might cost nothing at all. Win, win.

Hmmm, full of [...] a bit harsh. He was writing just before the end of the Second World War. And much has changed since then. But, consider this. If we use Maslow's ideas as a starting point for our own thinking, then - at least it's a start. I'm OK with the notion: I can't think about working on my self-build until I've had enough sleep, eaten a sensible meal and I'm not in fear of my life..... It fits my life experience, but I wouldn't be able to generalise that without M's help.

?, again.

Ours too: lovely bloke....

Could I suggest you let the ground workers -just-do-it- and if the BCO wants to sound off later, then fine (for the reasons explained above). I have had several interactions with BCOs where their comments have no basis in guidance or common practice: but have adverse consequences for me. Now I have taken to asking the BCO -while still on site- to agree my notes and action points before he (or in one case she) leaves the site. That process seems to work well. Exactly the same process as managing your own line manager.

What an arisole. What gets me is that it's so arbitrary.

A near neighbour regularly (6 times a year or more) goes to work early on Sunday mornings. Has asked me to come on a few occasions ... the job? Fell all the trees in area X : leave them where they lie. Off site by lunch time at the latest. Proper tree surgeon in to chop them up, stump machine in when they have finished. Full PP within a year or so, sometimes a little more. Thats East Lancashire for you. Never happens in West Lancs. Ever.

My BCO suggested we connect one short bit of rain gutter to the foul drain to provide a small amount of flush to the pipe. Works well, I think.....

1 in 2 for 5 yards. " ... (think I want(ed) to avoid a backdrop) ..." BCO: no comment The whole foul drainage system needed 31 cubic meters of top cover dug by hand during the first lockdown. Oh dear, what a shame, never mind. I had nowt else to do.

?

'S all a big plot to help you fall in and go for a swim..........

Mine is: but I installed it in (what became) someone else's garden. Oh dear, never mind, what a shame. Couldn't make it up could ya?

Ya wot? Have you got written evidence of that? Because if you have I have a strong feeling that such approval could well be considered unprofessional. I think it highly likely that the EA would disapprove. I really hope I'm wrong.
