endoscopic camera would mean only a small hole and would give a definitive answer

it doesn't look to be much larger in the footprint and looks to be placed where current house is

costs comparable to?

would they not accept alu clad if you can paint them?

have to ask, if you dislike it that much, why did you buy it? personally, i like it, apart from the pvc windows.

i ran a course of marmox under kit leaf. http://www.marmox.co.uk/products/thermoblock and armatherm under the steels https://www.armatherm.co.uk/applications/armatherm-column-base-thermal-bridging-solution/

was there not a post in the recent past about these flush alarms?

here you go

as well as a layer of insulation under the kit wall

so where's the landing and bedroom access?

have to say, if i were doing this, i'd run them sheathed in a larger pipe to avoid condensation risk, soggy paper and all...

getting there slowly but getting there

all you have to do is look at the new QE hospital in glasgow, the new childrens hospital in edinburgh and DG1 in dumfries. won't have anything to do with the gov'ment though?

work just lifted 7mx3m of mahogany parquet and dumped it before anyone knew.....

if doing as @Temp suggests, insted of right angle timber hooks, have them with a slight slope to enable them to tighten as they slide down.

isn't it a relief when it's something nice and easy?

however, velux have suspended manufacture of these and are unsure as to when it will begin. when i was looking to order no-one had stock and that was the reply from velux. i ended up with fakro 4g

why not have a seperate steel framed balcony which is not attached to house?

just had a look at my invoice but it doesn't detail the type of pipe, it was either pert or pex. i think it may have been pert and the job's a doddle with the castellations

lucky and unlucky at the same time ?

it was the same with timber, joiner would look at the job and go '6x2', we'll put in a 6x 21/2 to be sure. as you say SE goes waaaay beyond 'a bit more' really covers his arse 'just in case'

go to the nearest college which does courses in brickwork and ask the technician for your mortar, a nice xmas present should suffice

as a lot of the damage is in the area where the door fixings are, are they well fixed or using the plaster as adhesive and could it be the opening and closing of the door is cracking the plaster? if well fixed i'd look at removing all the plaster next the door, insulating and replastering

keep them warm
