No , you try mine !

This stuff is MAGIC for that . Best I’ve found . Spray , leave , repeat

No ! Just (expletive deleted)ing irritating full stop !

I’m a perfectionist also ( not ) . You’re only 3 yrs in - that’s toddler stage . Go another 9 and you’ll be up with me 👍

I’ll show you everything !! Are you ready for that though ???

No - even more as I have my extensive experience to share

It’s been a long 12 yrs 🤣 I use to frequent ebuild ( I think that’s what it was called ) even before my build commenced . When that disappeared I did worry ! . But found the resurrection in buildhub . I knew I couldn’t do the build on my own . A non standard design with no help . I assumed ( incorrectly ) bco would be on my back with a self build and ‘help’ me … the opposite occurred . Everything in life I do on my own ( no rude jokes ) ; I can learn what I need to get the job done ( this does not make me an expert ! ) . Buildhub has been invaluable - I built a house via the internet . I think that’s (expletive deleted)ing amazing tbh ! So for all the noobs with no experience etc I do have advice ! You are either cash rich and time poor or the opposite. Cash rich you can pay others to accelerate your build . Time rich you do it yourself . As I am self employed and didn’t have the cash ( no (expletive deleted)er is going to give me a self build mortgage ) then time is my friend . Remove stress points . A self build mortgage will put you under massive pressure - to release the next payment . Don’t rent temporarily when you can buy . To partially fund our build we sold our house and bought a shitty flat . This took any rental issues off the table and equity appreciation allowed the crap flat to add to the finance of the build once sold . We then lived on site - a cash saving for sure at the expense of ‘normality ‘ . By not being tied to a loan nor tied to time I (expletive deleted)ed about for a decade and got it done . Stress existed - but it was rare . This is the way ! I still have a hundred bits to fanny around with . Remove pressure , remove stress . Appreciate everyone’s in a different situation . But don’t let the build destroy you . It’s a bitch and you are the master ( bit of bdsm there for my followers ) . Ask for help on the forum always . (expletive deleted) things up - so what ! . Waste 1000’s on a balls up - so what . Haven’t got a clue ? - so what . Plan a strategy!

Look what I got in the email !!! Bco can (expletive deleted) off planning can (expletive deleted) off most of all neighbors can (expletive deleted) right off “To fight is foolish , to win is super mofo “ Pocster 2024

I have in some situations mains and cat cables running together . No interference or issues with this that I can detect .

Ah yes ! I’ve plucked a few corks in my time . Always smell them to check they’re fresh . If good ; ram the bugger in 👍🍾🥳🤠😝

So impressed with customer service received new ptz ( failed outside warranty ! ) received new video doorbell needed another ip camera ; so ordered reolink again - free upgrade to 2 yr warranty . The shite may break all the time but at least you get a replacement 🤣

Nothing . Beam and block ! I’m unlikely to antagonise my bco further !!!

Lots of stuff here . Remember bco has called this irrespective of his ‘knowledge ‘ ( or lack of ) Steels are about 350% over spec ( as SE told me ) so we can safely say “ chunky “ . How much is exposed ? Depends on which steel . Worst case 2 faces I.e the flat underside and 1 web . The steel does not support walls or roof etc - purely exists for stairwell . Above 30 min fire rated ceiling . No cables ( only low voltage lighting anyway ) cross the steel . Light cables go to perimeter lighting ring I.e not back to CU and hence across the steels .

Thanks Mandy !

Thanks for all the help as always . Planning and building control is a lot of BS and box ticking . Play the game to win 🥇
