Checked all over the internet for blackout solutions and this cassette blind is the fogs gollox I have a skill saw but how to make this cut on a1860 length of 4*2 and keep it accurate? guess it’s a cut from both sides using a table guide

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?

Very nice look forward to seeing your blog?

You’ve made a hole in the ceiling that needs patched so why not make it bigger and check out every joist? its not clear from those pics if there is fresh air below the joist or if the joist is resting on the wall

Might work if her government actually built houses... They build plenty up here though but it’s a different government

@nod is your man to answer this

White is traditional and will look great but hey what about some lime green or a nice royal burgundy ????

How long do these drivers have to work to make a living...I mean if they start at 5am and still deliver to 8pm ffs my last delivery said your drop 147 due at 17.30 and tracking showed the fella in real time

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...
