Avoiding squatters prior to construction work
Tennentslager replied to Dan F's topic in Project & Site Management
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 -

Shower screen needed.
Tennentslager replied to TheMitchells's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
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 -

It’s an empty sitting beside the door so I don’t forget to take to the car. ive taken to putting things by the door as the old memory is going somewhere else. I have the hut, the house, the flat and two offices and have forgotten keys so much I now nick about like a jailer with a bundle of keys like a bunch of bananas! BTW one of those LPG things has lasted 3 years -

I bought dozens of boxes of nails via Gumtree at half or more the screwfix price. did suspect that some had questionable provenance as most sellers were building guys living in ordinary houses...some boxes *might* have been liberated from whatever site

Why do internal doors have handles?

Doesn’t answer directly but might help... ” If a bathroom or kitchen is to be provided in a room where there wasn't one before, building regulations approval is likely to be required to ensure that the room will have adequate ventilation and drainage, and meet requirements in respect of structural stability, electrical and fire safety.” from https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/34/kitchens_and_bathrooms/3 if you avoid a sink (drainage) and a cooker (gas/electrical) you might be fine. All that said I employ home personal assistants and they have a sleepover room with desk TV bed etc but use the main kitchen. im fact cooking is one activity that can be inclusive for the carer and looked after person to participate in Also I encourage my guys to cook proper food from fresh in bulk and batch freeze. Dont know the set up with your dad but my folks have plenty spare time to plan, ship, cook etc

Why not copy next doors exactly? it will look better, it’s bigger and you *might *be able to use the party wall and foundations although I don’t know if this is doable Thats if your window upstairs is not too low to follow that roofline
