you moved to the states then?

band b floor so slightly different but - dpm, 200mm recticel, dpm and 100mm concrete, ufh pipes on top of 2nd dpm. no heat through it yet though, possibly this year.....

presume black kitchen units? what happens if that fad current 'in thing/must have' goes out of fashion soon and you change the units?

have you a short period of scaffold requirement? i bought ours as it was going to be up for a while, now starting to come down 😃 finally!

and vat only zero if tradesman registered for vat, a few 1 man business still fly under the radar if they do a lot of cash in hand

but 50x50 is a lot cheaper than reg 145x45

as with the first timber kits, it took quite a while to show and nowadays people are using more plastic sheeting for vcl and it doesn't show for a lot longer. i do think there will be big problems in the future with iwi and modern houses wich are 'fairly' well insulated but not well detailed

welcome, don't need to go that far north, wanlockhead is above that, btw scotlands highest

oh right, it's everyone using the bathroom holding you back.....

so where does she get this idea?

what's the detail so we cn give some help?

min 10 deg slope for flat roof, have you given consideration as to how you will cut the firrings? the easiest way for you to do it would be to put the joists down and then cut graded/diminishing firrings which are square/rectangular stock fixed at 90deg to the joists at the correct spacing to give the fall.

yup, don't throw anything away, it'll come in handy in 30yrs.

you take the furniture/rugs and paraphernalia in the existing house and transfer it into the new house, rearrange to suit. hate waste

go to your local college, if they do trades. see the brickwork technician and bung him a few quid to cut them

lots of one man and van with spray painting upc lettering on the side these days, buy the cheapest woodgrain effect and have them sprayed, could do your windows and doors at the same time.

don't use an impact driver, they're useless for pulling things together

we have beam and block, 200mm recticel ufh and 100mm concrete. solid, no bounce

very generous calling that a fence 😀

if you are going with an ashp then you want to be really well insulated and as air tight as possible. if you achieve those objectives as well as an oversized ashp so it doesn't run at full bore, you should need very little extra heat input i.e a wood pellet burner, which would require a very dry store to house the pellets. @ProDave has a small wood burner as do others and by doing so an external air vent straight into the stove will stop the air lost with a normal chimney. we keep harping on about insulate, insulate, insulate, pay once for that or pay monthly for energy.

don't forget to measure the actual rise on site, it may be different to drawn size

contact warmcell and they'll give you a list

nope, plot came with permission, however, as with a lot of scottish rural planning you are only allowed traditional 1.5 stories and the majority of time, white render and slated roof. i'm not complaining other than having coombed ceilings as we like traditional looking houses but there will be people who want modern design and not get it.

easy to say, you obviously have a more tolerant planning system down there

and put the sheets on horizontally
