Mmm retail, they have a swanky store in my town but as I drive by always looks empty apart from the weekend -
I’m thinking to cut a (say 4*2) to made a triangular prism and bond it to the reveal. the blackout blinds need to be mounted square to the window but this is a tenement flat with deep angled reveals. any other thoughts?

Zoot's Extension- advice needed.
Tennentslager replied to zoothorn's topic in New House & Self Build Design
Not that I’m any expert but you could have a single row of blocks and 145mm thick timbers to make the walls with OSB sheet on the outside then your vapour barrier on top of that batten this both horizontally and vertically and attach you cladding to the battens. this will create a rain screen and the battens create a cavity behind this for air movement insulation goes in between the 145mm timbers with plasterboard inside... @Peter and @Declan52 will tell you if I’m talking mince -

Zoot's Extension- advice needed.
Tennentslager replied to zoothorn's topic in New House & Self Build Design
Dig trench part fill with concrete and maybe rebar brickie builds block work to appropriate level inner leaf for timber frame and depending on look/style outer leaf for brick work make all nice and flat inside cover in visqueen and more concrete poured inside timber wall plate attached to inner block work and timber frame onto that that is one simple way to describe a straightforward extension with no drainage or other works underneath does that help?
