That looks great he’s clearly on the ball even with that micro example picture you can see a random pattern but never a gap meeting a gap Quality!

What’s going on with the far end gable... has the roof been replaced with a lower pitch as the gable looks higher. love it though, looks fantastic

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

Tidy...

Photos don’t do it justice @ProDave give us some better ones because this is a good route for others

That blue plastic thing. My mate just bought an identical cow/pig feeding thing except it was solid glazed clay, 100+ years old and took 6 to lift it. hes using it for a border/planter

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?

Yep, smashing read this is...

I watched a basketball game in this ‘home’ cinema at my girls dorm, very nice it is too. Id guess the seats and banking and wall lighting cost more than the tech. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article196135589.html

New one for me @Ferdinand and a beauty.

Americans seem to like a semi basement saw lots on my recent trip to Durham NC. basement windows fairly big, steps to the front porch/deck area and dormers on first floor result, very pretty timber detached houses with three levels and lots of space

Welcome back old boy @SteamyTea Missed your dodgy innuendo and bad taste jokes?

Your brave taking this on...but I’m cheering from the sidelines ??

Plus 1 slate slabs from B&Q garden area were 6 quid each and I bedded and grouted with black dyed concrete worked great and cheap

Steady boys...

Very nice that looks?

Frame out the window and door reveals on the first floor and coach bolt thick OSB to make it look secure. You could reuse the OSB for summit on the build. Up here the council use metal plate and lots of signs but then again we have no squatters right laws in Scotland. usually if it’s a problem someone sends the boys around PS anyone remember Swampy? A touring environmentalist from Bristol I think who had a big following after living up a tree on the route of the planned M77

Thank you. Lovely browse this morning of your photos All really wonderful, well done it’s fantastic

I usually flush at least twice depends on how fast the cistern fills and on how marked the pan is...just saying

Paint it

Sorry @Ferdinand and @Ed Davies ive been at the pub watching the cup semi final (crap game but 2 red cards and 3-0 for Celtic) and saw this narrowest ever loo. would not be out of place in Amsterdam i had to turn sideways to do up ma zip

To go with my new toilet

@Temp might know

This be the type I have, other ones run across to the opposite wall. I wouldn’t want to just rely on the wall floor junctions being attached. @Nickfromwales is your man but get it all sitting in place, dead flat at the floor junction (there’s room in the wall trim for out of square) and silicon on the outside only

Did you also get a steady bar for the top corner?
