Wow, that’s brilliant, well done 👍

If the frame or door is out a bit with a rebated frame your knackered, if the door warps a little in the future you can move them 👍, I also tend to glue them in case people slam doors (my pet hate) 🤷‍♂️

I always preferred separate stop beads, it allows you to be accurate with the doors it case either the frame or door is not completely square!. Fit the door with hinges and catch then fit the stop beads leaving a 1 mm gap for paint or varnish 🤷‍♂️

Yes is the answer (imo) if the owner is happy, the boundary is messy yes with overhanging gutters/footings/window cills etc. If you wanted to turn it onto a garage I think, from the picture their vent is beyond your lean too extension door so presumably not within your garage if you removed that gate and put a door level with your other door!. If I was considering this I would build a fibreglass box gutter and lead flashing into their wall (if they are agreeable).

So, he was convinced by the evidence, don’t we all do that at times? I know politicians are good at calling it a U turn but it shows they are open to new ideas, evidence or discussions.? I am sure at his age and successful career he is not doing it for the money. Actually some of his latest stuff is showing examples of those who are doing it right as examples of what can be done and it’s not too late!

So did Attenborough.

@Hills_90 you just need a conversation with the owner!

Some of you may remember my thread about exploding Velux windows, well my neighbour had his replaced by Velux no probs but his shower tray is chipped, he does not want the hassle of taking it out with tiles etc and is looking fir a repair kit, any recomendations?

However you need to make sure a coil will cope, mine didn’t and had to convert it to non coil 🤔

No (imo), find a local architectural technician and if they think there is any aspects that need an S.E. I am sure they will know one. If the BCO is not happy that will ask for calcs to be done but as I said above I did not need one for my brick and block build! 👍

Scaffold poles? (I used these once fir a carport, welded a plate on the bottom to bolt to the concrete floor).

I never used an SE, only used an architect to transfer my drawings from paper to CAD. The roof was provided in kit form by a company that did the calcs for that for us.

You could always ask your neighbour but I doubt they would like it, why not get a cantilevered car port supported from your wall only almost reaching your neighbours wall. https://proportcanopies.co.uk/cantilever-carports/

I have been considering this since my build was finished, @SteamyTea did some calcs for me as he left some monitoring devises at mine and he was of the opinion E7 was not better for me. Mind with all the price rises and tariff changes it might change.

+1, and not only teenagers 😱

This is exactly why our Jeremy scrapped his weather compensating heating control system that he designed, no one else would understand it if he was not around (or got too old to remember) he adopted my Luddite approach to most things, a single room stat 🤷‍♂️.

He treats health and safety a bit like me (but I used to go climbing so know my limits 🤷‍♂️)

Well I only have UFH downstairs all run from one room stat in the hallway, I have the flow turned up for the lounge as that is the room we sit in, but find the whole house sits at a comfortable 21’. No heating upstairs but electric towel rads in both bathrooms and electric UFH in the ensuite.

+1 to Nick, I used this and got good results https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-bare-plaster-paint-white-10ltr/373gt

Well the BCO was happy as it had a BBA certificate and someone else here confirmed it would not wick moisture.

Nah, that’s got to go, should never have been done in the first place, be nice to your neighbour but it’s their problem to sort out, just give them plenty of time to find a solution.

Surely this depends on the amount of insulation used?, plus the fact that the insulation factor of the house itself stopping the ground from being chilled by winds etc?

+1, I did an extension for a neighbour and when we broke into the cavity the blown insulation had slumped badly and missing in some places.

Exactly what I did.
