    https://t.co/m74sdRrq0B Just read that in a U turn Scot Gov will now back a private member's bill for new building regulations introducing passivehoose standards or a Scottish equivalent.😜😜 Superinsulated Airtight Triple glazed MHRC Lack of thermal bridges.

    Got a little mould (small and can paint over every year or so) but thinking of fitting the pvc slats. It's on plasterboard ceiling do I need to strap it or is it clips or adhesive? Also where would you buy this folks, it's a small room 2m by 2m roughly. Finally, it's already tiled so would you recommend a trim for the edges or a sealant. Thanks

    SWMBO wants me to make something when we decorate the bedroom which is like moving a wall forward 2/300mm leaving a bed alcove which has room for lights and shelves in place of bedside cabinets. She envisages floor to ceiling and the current coving replaced to make good and join with existing. Plasterboard or MDF? The room will be painted out afterwards and a feature wallpaper for the alcove not behind the bed. Cmon the forum, help me out here

    Watch it Boris the centimetre police will be along shortly with a fixed penalty notice and the mods will have set up an inquiry.

    No it's not the name of a band...can we have a guerilla battalion of sparks who can connect the freezing fuel poor and tap into street lights and mug meters? Of course it's 'illegal' but is it really when we have lashings of energy but it's sold to the highest bidder? @Stones Up the revolution

    You've not been to the Gorbals pool 10 years ago at the height of eastern European immigration. The culture of posing (model style) for pics by Polish/Lithuanian young woman in swimsuits was new to the southsiders of Glasgow.

    Not if you have a fresh water pool. Or a river, loch or other such nearby, goodness they have public swimming pools in my area...just a thought.

    Ach, it burnt down uninsured. But I had 5 great years and sold the plot so now moving on old bean. No point looking back and ruminating ??

    I built ma hut off grid and did everything...from planning permission to interior design...wall of maps and wood burner. But there's a sting in the tale...tail?

    Can you find another route for the main...cap it in the garden and run it in another way?

    So the doors were very high? Good spot...the living room door is a tiny bit low as it's original. I had a job getting a big sofa under it. It's a big room, 7m long. The big bedroom to the front is also original but had a skylight above the door so would have been refashioned. All the rest of the doors ( toilet, kitchen, bed 2) are remodeled so would have been made to suit.

    Its second floor as in Ground,1st, 2nd. Most tenements are G,1,2,3 but this is a smaller one. I'm thinking the integrity is all in the original floor as this is effectively a floating or sandwich floor. The main run of the 5m is 1.5 in the hall so I'll fix ply there afterwards before a new carpet as the old one is gunned now. In the bedroom it follows a run along the wall which has two wardrobes placed there so never walked on.

    Finished floor level ? Now I'm Sherlock I've noticed the step up at the front door, at 150mm it's barely noticeable though...
  23. Tennentslager
    I've agreed to do the labour so have to cut about 5m of floorboards perpendicular to the grain and dig out the deadaning ( thanks @TonyT) for Kevin to do the repiping. First Q Should I leave a board intact every 6 or so for structural integrity...would still leave room to get a 3m legnth of pipe in there or just rip the lot up with a long skill saw cut?

    Then I found it, 22 to two 15mm pipes, one to the kitchen for the cooker, one to the boiler...hard to find because the d*ckhead joiner had put a joist (filler) on TOP of the gas pipe with a srtip of foam. Hard to find but after fingertip investigation we did. The whole lot is to be repiped in 22mm. End of story so far
  25. Tennentslager
    The joiners came in next and laid suitable filling pieces before covering the whole lot in tons of gravel (WTF, we think for sound deadening) and then new floorboards. Guess what...we found the 22mm pipe coming from the meter and into the hall. Now we know the supply to the boiler is in 15mm but can't find the junction and step down to 15 amongst this shingle.
