The Build - The groundworks - Part 2 - Foundations
Tennentslager commented on Redoctober's blog entry in Our Journey North of the Border
What's all the little posts on the bottom of the trenches? No mesh or rebar needed? Very tidy job and well done the dumper driver? -

Just a thought...you know how a big country house has a gate keepers cottage, often in the exact style of the big house. They often look grand with smashing chimney details and great stone work. Maybe it was the posh way of laying down a store for the future....move over old boy I'm having you chimney pot... awful storm last night, what what. So...build a dog kennel or summit!

How much for the crane hire? Am thinking I'll buy one with my pension lump sum and earn 500 for one days work a week...it's my cunning plan for a fun and well bankrolled dotage? I hope I can get a big yellow one for under £100k, good plan or what?

Board-on-board or "hit and miss" cladding
Tennentslager replied to dnoble's topic in General Joinery
I nailgunned everything! My boards were 150x 15 but very moist. Nails one inch from the edge at a 45/50° angle in towards the centre of the board. Once you've done a few you get a feel for the wood and read the knots and grain....too near a knot and move or miss it out. Battens at 400 or 600 spacing means loads of nails per board. Practice on the under board as it's all getting covered anyway. Use all the damaged edge stuff underneath too. Mix the colours up randomly. Keep the best boards with good grain for corners. -
Board-on-board or "hit and miss" cladding
Tennentslager replied to dnoble's topic in General Joinery
Think from memory I used 63mm ring shank nails in the nail gun...not too long or you'll puncture the vcl. Counter battens at 2x25 plus the thickness of the board and your fine. -

Roofing battens are cheap and super treated. I agree with @Miek no water is going to pool for any time behind overlapped board especially if you have counter battens which imo is a must. -
FFS get a move on...?

Furniture suggestions?
Tennentslager replied to Crofter's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Where is the nearest B&M to you? There's several near me. I can get stuff for you and get a price from Hebrides Haulage if that works? -
Surely the gaps are filled and finished and unless you be spraying water on them...they be sound, am I missing something?
