I’m still confused why you couldn’t just bed the flint in upright with cement . Just do a few rows a day and point it . Just like building a stone wall . What have I missed ??

Like watching a car crash in slow motion but without naked babes jumping out asking me to save them

Just expanding foam the entire shite ffs!

Ducts for wires through external insulated walls?
Pocster replied to Dreadnaught's topic in Timber Frame
I did this. But when Virgin installed their cable through ducting they didn't do this. For 2 years no issue. Then for weeks I saw little patches of water on the floor but couldn't see any evidence of how it had entered the build. Then one day I hear the fateful "drip" - ran into the room with my torch and saw it. Water tracking along their internet line through narrow ducting. Let the rain stop. Then foam gunned as far in as I could. So far so good . -

Because a part of your appendage is the same length. -
Yep; if you are SE and have big debts no one wants to be your friend. I would use a recommended broker as there are ways to "work around this" - as a for example ;remortgage as a BTL . This may avoid some issues you are having but may indeed create others. It's all a bit of a game ...

Oi (expletive deleted) off and fix that ufh for the 3rd year running

Yes. This is the exactly the type of thing we are having. 10 -> 15mm thick though so similar to a normal wall tile; I believe

Yeah it’s a shock ! Like the (expletive deleted)ers going to explode ! -
Must admit a short throw floor based projector does interest me. Imagine the fun during 'those' parties!

You already have the time. You just need to let the important things that you must do fade to the side. TIME created!. Now (expletive deleted) about to your hearts content!

I think I know what I will do / attempt. Top part ( timber frame ) 3x2 running horizontal 30cm apart. Then the backer board can attach direct to those ( backer is 120cm x 60cm ); so just noggins at the ends. Lower part just do whatever I want and then just 'ledge' to upper part to suit.

I do like. But may be slightly beyond my capability!!!

My sins on show!. NEVER!. Hide everything....

Hang on I could stick tacky led lights in there for added cheapness effect!

SWMBO isn't actually worried about a ledge . It's me . I think I can live with a ledge and everything fitted far tighter and better ( using less materials ). Talked myself into it.
-
Are you suggesting the timber frame higher up is effectively hanging off L shaped frame cramps?. So the tile backer frame is sat with a gap ( because of the cramps) in front the other frame ???
-
Frame cramps? - allow ME to do it perfectly?? No additional services to cover up - but a multitude of sins for sure. I'm still worried about a lumpy frame effectively 'hanging' off the timber frame. The more I think the more I worry. The upper part (timber frame of the build ) I could just screw the tile backer board straight too (with a few extra noggins) nice and easy. Still tempted by a lip/ledge to avoid 2 ton's of material falling and killing SWMBO....wait a minute......

Lol I just set it and forget it. I do run it on auto. So it will boost when a shower occurs and have it only for night time ( schedule ). Equally I haven't touched summer bypass ( I assume automatic? ) and frost protection just leave alone. My vent Axis is running very cool. I guess because it extracts the heat it cools itself aswell; this I think is normal. When you do commission it it sounds like an F16 taking off - don't be scared ? -
SWMBO wanted this and I've considered the amount of pain ; financial and time wise. Needless to say I lost the battle! The wall in question is approx 7m high and 4m wide. I have to bridge different wall 'levels' i.e. not level. As you can see below ground ( stud against walled waterproof membrane ) I'm ok. As I get higher the upper house timber frame gets further away from me!! I can bridge to it - but I'm worried that's a lot of weight hanging off timber -> timber -> timber ( the frame! ). I *could* put a horrible ledge step in it just to get over the issue - but that will just collect dust and probably ( once the staircase is in ) be unreachable. Should i worry about the weight?. Gone for 12.5mm tile backboard to support the beast. (expletive deleted) @Onoff and his bits of flints glued in a box - this is where it's at ! ?

Looks like you shat in those shoes
