F*ckWit neighbours strike again
Onoff replied to Pocster's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
I'd be sticking a fake orange planning notice on the pole in the dead of night. New halfway house, traveller pitch etc. -
I made mine but then I would...

No burning embers to contend with either, when your lying on the rug in front of it! ?

Thought this 1960s self-build for sale might amuse

Bet that kitchen is solid, Schreiber or something like that. All just clicked together with metal brackets. -
With gaps such as above and the practice of "foam filling" afterwards, isn't there a danger of the foam bridging the ventilation void across the full width, between the rafter? I mean, you can't see how much it's expanding the other side. Is it an issue?
-
Me too. I clamped timber either side and used low expansion foam. Worked a treat and no distortion.

An excuse to get the Vaseline out if you haven't any proper silicone grease: http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/fplugs.htm

You do realise your elderly neighbour points and says "That's the bloke that's always got wood for me!"

The sill detail is likely something like this:

Sorry, bodgers. In and out, quick as. Imo bits of paper and certs can mean very little. Easy to buy into a club. A big problem is that as they've put a screw in from the top (again a bodge) they haven't kept the sill tight to the frame hence the gap. You might not be able to push the sill up as the screw threads will stop it. Did they use expanding tape or foam around the top and sides? Or is the foam packed you refer to pushed in foam? @craig?

Rip it out and start again. Clean all the silicone off of it, every last bit. Was the trap the same make as the tray? Sometimes the trap rubber washers are generic thus a bit of a crap fit to that particular tray ( so said your uncle way back). I can only go by what I did and the tips given. I ditched one washer and loaded with Sika EBT. The top side has come out really well IMO. I wasn't overly fussed about underneath. Baby wipe around and walk away until set: Did the same with the overflow:

Well that's a poke in the eye with a pointed stick

@Construction Channel I seem to recall did his own, DIY underpinning, in stages. -
1860's? ?

You've got wood?
-
Each to their own but you listen to some weird, off the wall stuff!
-
I used white SikaFlex EBT on my bath waste and binned the washers it came with.

Got his name written all over it. Quite a few sores visible in that picture...

I think I've seen this sprayed on a wall.

Sorry, didn't read 'outside", saw the black bits inside I thought were the dreaded black mould.

Could you have built it turned through 45 degrees and had a condensate drain?

Are TV aerials becoming obsolete?

Not here. I've got the biggest Band A Yagi available as at the bottom of a valley. A fringe area and then some. -
Can you Feng shui my study please?
Onoff replied to Adsibob's topic in New House & Self Build Design
In all seriousness it'd be nice to down tools and chill on the sofa during a break from the office side completely. Pity you haven't a floor to ceiling window you could put the sofa in front of. -

The Bristolian school of Pocsterism dictates one's computer monitor should not be visible to anyone entering the room.
