the build up seems a bitof a faff, https://www.greenbuildingstore.co.uk/lower-royd-retrofit-internal-wall-insulation/ this gives the same u-value with what would seem to be an easier job.

it's only 45 deg on plan, let me know if you need help to mark out

do you need the access? if not then forget about it and live without the hassle

someone did a test with bleach versus water and there was very little difference after the flush, give it a good clean and it'll be fine, save the money.

i'd certainly look at a course of marmox to mitigate cold bridging. definately!

all houses here have osb on top of the trusses. adds a considerable amount of racking strength to the roof, never seen one locally without osb or sarking if being slated.

no idea, i was at work and heard it overhead, one of my colleagues said 'that was a funny sounding plane' and i said it sounded like an A-10 tankbuster. don't know if it was but it sounded like one.

the airport, not the town!

sounded like one came into Prestwick yesterday

do you need the insulation inside? ie is the granite showing on the outer wall. if not it would be better to have the insulation on the outer surface damn this is taking longer to type after corrections due to alcohol sorry

you're going to have to remove the tin to do anything so i'd be tempted to remove existing slab (if there at all) cut out under each column and place armatherm or similar under them if pad founds, new insulated slab, and then away you go with whatever build you you want and clad in the original tin. otherwise a new insulated slab ontop of what is there and insulate around the steelwork.

had forgotten, said to OH about the post and she said 'the Aquila Maris' huh.

and don't forget any chemicals and offgassing which blown cellulose won't have, is recycling important to you?

it was sad when the Dakota left West Freugh, it was always nice to see and hear her on a regular basis. it was the same when the range vessel left Portpatrick, could hear the engines throbbing for miles.

@epsilonGreedy if it wasn't that one on a cheeky flight, i can see how you could have been confused.

once the ceiling is up you won't see them, however, as others have said it seems a lot of work with not much left to keep and work from.

so that's the 'u' shaped ruin in the middle of no-where ?. it will be nice and peaceful. i don't like too many neighbours either, however,......... much land with it?

but, @epsilonGreedy i would suggest there is a difference in the prices of the plot/land

depending on the condition of your heart, 110v can still kill you, 240v run through a circuit breaker is far safer as you cannot be electrocuted.

the minor service is dead easy, the main one can be more tricky when you remove the piston to avoid damage to the o ring. may be worthwhile paying for a major service to start with so you know it's right and you have a good beginning. buy the oil and cleaner

thanks guys, were both these stick built or did the walls come in panels? @MikeSharp01 any pics? cheers

paslode now do a payment plan to buy new guns, apprentices buy the ppn guns instead of doing it by hand so the firms supply the nails to suit. at least up here they do!
