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!

Congratulations ???? ??? ?? ?

Yep, warm welcome, your in good company. What stage are you at? Dream home sounds interesting...grand designs ???

Never done it with little tiles Jamie but a bench grinder is cheap and great for accurate lines. Depends how beautiful you want it to be? Job looking great so far?

To finish this off with much thanks to the Welsh wizard @Nickfromwales I could not get to the job for a variety of reasons so emailed Nick's thoughts to Div the plumber. Div was super frustrated and tried everything Nick suggested, to be fair he said he already had. On the phone he sounded mad as hell that it wasn't working and professional pride was hurting. Radiators were still stone cold. Anyway away he went for the night and came back today determined to beat the problems. Bingo, blocked filter it was after all. Took it out and gave it a good clean until a new one arrives from online. Everything is piping hot? He said, call it Four half days and give me £200. That's on top of £200 for the first two days. Two radiators fitted, wash hand basin moved, new toilet fitted including coring out the wall and new waste pipe work. Also some odd pipes capped and a leaky stopcock replaced. I'm happy, he's a good guy who can now head off to Quito in Equador to do his skateboarding ???

Naughty step @Nickfromwales I think @TerryE meant this for an uneven or wavy wall ???

If your doing a big area and have uneven gaps get an extra gun and cut the caulking tubes at different lengths, one in each gun. So that one gives a nice fine line for close fitting areas and one cut well back for getting a good thick line for filling bigger gaps. Oh and cut the tube at an angle like a hypodermic needle...all the better for a neat finish.

I assume you are putting a door on it? If so just paint it...more money left for Cider!

It labelled inlet, 22mm same as outlet so yep it's the return. Cold mains and dhw are in 15mm. Dunno if it's blocked but before the new work rads 1 to 4 were working fine.
