Inflation is killing my build
Pocster replied to farm boy's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Mate don’t sweat it . 20k ‘over’ isn’t the end of the world . Whilst you might not want a loan or use your Credit card as the great Mandy says “ This is the way “ -
Before you all bitch … 300 centres because plasterboard is only 9.5mm . Short boards as I can’t get full boards down my temporary staircase . So noggins at joins . Timbers deliberately left visible above ceiling line so I can a) fix any ha / electrics to them b) no need to “ hunt the timber “ when I need a wall fixing . So there !

That’s what I have found . But that’s exactly what it is apparently for . Only thing then is silicone - but not paintable 🫤 -
My neighbours are stupid AND completely mad
Pocster replied to Adsibob's topic in Party Wall & Property Legal Issues
@Nickfromwales put in a planning application and then watch everyone hate you and try and undermine you . Religiously they will group with an excuse to block you ( whether it’s legitimate or not ) . One of my planning BS acts / sad (expletive deleted) Ed’s started with 103 reasons not to build . By the end ( once I had (expletive deleted)ed them c) 3 issues …. all subjective anyway … -

Next to your burger van your neighbors are obviously “ nice “ . When you have malicious (expletive deleted)ing twat (expletive deleted) that should be (expletive deleted)ec backwards , hung on a cross and (expletive deleted) washed with the devils spewed outbursts - then you will understand . -

Ah well ; I’ve got 1 fat max blade to hand as I’m paranoid about losing it . But I know I’ve got another 2 somewhere ….. 🙄 Currently only have 1 hammer - but must have at least 4 lost in the “ self build void of tool disappearance “ -

I bought a mag drill off Amazon I think . Not expensive and seems good . Will sell it on when done to recoup some of its cost . -
