What would you expect of any of these outlets * I'm being kind here* to do the fcuk about any of it? Investigative journalism has almost died in the mainstream media, not extinct completely but the titles you quote are unimpressive to put it mildly...

The Pars where in European cup final in 1969 I believe... Dunfermline far you may be???

Good use you say coffin for a retired heating engineer for when the time comes... They do them like that in Ghana if I recall...themed coffins like? Be a good wake I'd bet ?

Bill welcome Is zone 1, 75m over two floors (old building with single glazing) and all the rest 65m on one floor? You're gonna need some expert advice I expect as this is a unique set up...

Welcome fella

Check out my blog...49 sq/m for £9k...cosy

Before I ended up in social services I was a shoemaker mainly in bespoke *surgical* shoes. Once I went self employed I enjoyed the year or so I worked for a threesome of young female designers from Cordwainers College...I was the practical one trying to make their wacky designs. Vanity is Sanity if I recall ?

Best post in ages...the value of the forum writ large? No spoilers please, I wanna know who done it...

It's all a matter of degree and likelihood and then engineering an acceptable solution. Professional competence coupled with experience and knowledge of the published standards will provide an independent answer for which I guess someone will want you to pay for. Or in other words, I've no idea whatsoever

I'm thinking that looks very very nice for a wee holiday home...

Oh and you can sing, drink, cook and sleep too but not always in that order. Makes me wonder if we could have bothies in cities...free and basic. Suppose the problem is security and harmony, harder to achieve in the urban jungle than in the hills, just a thought about homelessness and this cold snowy winter...

Same thing in many ways Out exposed, in the cold of the winter, they save your life. In the summer, you and your community build/maintain/improve them for when you might need them. Free, open and honest What's not to like

Nice post @jamiehamy Living in the hut isn't unlike how our parents lived in the Glasgow of the 1950's... It can be very comfortable and feels better as you are aware you have made it all happen, teaching kids to set a fire is a good thing? Also, nowadays with Bluetooth speakers and Tesco selling ice for a quid a bag, luxury parties are easy to host in the hut???

First Buildhub project with internal flume...looking forward to seeing the plans

Hello David, Just up the road from me and very near the hut at Carbeth ? @jamiehamy should be along soon

I think @Fredd should be read in a Cornish accent or maybe Welsh... clearly one of the regulars having a fantastic time pushing all your buttons? I'm loving it, it's better than the adventures of Rollo... although there may be a similarity or two in the writing style ?

Help any...

Rubba-seal.co.uk They do EPDM to exact size but price has gone up to £7.25 per m...last year was 5.99 if I recall.

I've done a few options on various huts. The three budget options are Good quality felt, don't even bother with the thin stuff. £6/7m EPDM rubber. £6/7m Oduline bitumen sheets.£7/8m EPDM is very easy to do but you need a clean surface to stick it to. Put 11mm OSB on first and you can have more strength and neat edges/soffit/ bargeboard/gutters. Lasts 30 plus years and 100% waterproof. This would be my choice. Oduline next best. Easy to do with their serrated and capped nails. Some folk like the wavy look. If one sheet is long enough meaning no joins, I'd consider this too. If you do watch the video, it's easy to put it on upside down...only one side has UV protection and if you get it wrong it will go quickly from black to grey and degrade. The cost with oduline will rack up if you buy all the verge and edge trim and on a small roof you may go well over the price I mentioned. Beware! Felt is shit but cheap and okay for a few years.

Great news @Russell griffiths well done. This will also be great encouragement for others embarking on the same journey. Be nice to see you progress through the next couple of years. Have the weekend off boss and enjoy that nice feeling ???

Yup, that's the way to do it...

Top job old fruit, let's see a nice photo then... before the snow starts

What's a 'storage wall' and the 'ward' above it...? Haven't heard these terms before. Building in the middle of nowhere isn't as hard as our forebears endured... battery power tools are truly wonderful things? a bit of thought and once your out of the ground it's not so bad. Is it a spring/summer build this year..guess planning should be straightforward given location

Welcome, folk will be happy to comment on plans, might also be useful to include a block plan for consideration of orientation on the plot. Which island and does the equivalent road tariff apply? Quite a few island dwellers on here with experience of our lovely variable weather ????

Fencing is not cheap and could easily run to many £000's. Latch sarking boards in either hit and miss and or with a wavy topline cut with a jigsaw look nice for as low as £40 per metre. They do soak up stain/treatment though which adds loads of labour and cost. Aluminium...wow if it's £250 per metre means even a modest 100m fence coming in at £25k!
