You mean who haven’t got a clue but do it anyway ? . The pioneers , the brave , the stupid !

But do I need it ? . I don’t want to trigger anything ( Hmrc wise ) . Or just do nothing ? . Move in , pay council tax ….

@ProDave you said something about a temporary habitation thing . Who do you get that from and how does that work ??

When I live in it ( soon ) and ultimately pay council tax I.e habitable . Do I need to do anything more ? . My sign off will be by bco when I’m ready ; which will be years later .That all ok ?

Really , concrete screws ? . Overkill maybe ; but if it makes a rock solid fixing I’d be happy .

They look interesting. Maybe with a washer on so they don’t pull through the composite tread . Might be worth an experimentation first …. ?

Ah ok . I’ll go back to sleep for another 2 years . ? ?

Yeah I thought about that . But if they get damaged and need to come up …. I could just drill a hole through tread and steel then nut and bolt . But it’s a pita trying to tighten the nut when you can’t reach the bolt . No friends syndrome again ??

Cracking on with these external stairs . The steps etc are all steel . The tread is this stuff . They supply self drilling screws to attach it from underneath. But they don’t bite as well as I’d like . What I really want to do is fix down through the composite tread into the steel - just at the edges of each tread . So a shallow bolt head would be fine . What should I use though ??

I’m confused by the valuation. I thought you simply ‘finish ‘ get BCO out then 3 months to submit - and that’s it . As @ToughButterCup states I am indeed asleep at the back of the class - what have I missed ?

I plan to purchase literally everything before my claim goes in I.e the 3 month ticking bomb from sign off . So that reduces the chance of Hmrc bitching at me . Though this fight is still a good few years away from me ; I’m in the ring training !! ( boxing ring before @Onoff jumps in there )

Thanks for the mention

Bodies . Lots and lots of bodies

After movies I decided time to build a house .

Does not . Always to the right and up . Up a lot . Like really up . Maybe even almost vertical

I did think that tbh . But some like it a bit bent yeah ?

My site will never be tidy .

Yeah it was ‘bent’ before I put the treads in. Might try and knock a piece of timber in there to push it out

Got those already . Just need to fix

Bottom leg of stringer well bent . I won’t be able to hammer it out . Best way to straighten this ?? surprised how ‘bent’ the steel is - not through my efforts though !! Got to fix a balustrade arm there . Could pack it out with washers …. ?

???

I don’t know .

Just turned up . I think it’s smart ?

Coooor this steels a bitch to drill . Bought a brand new Makita steel bit and I reckon it’s blunt and I’m not even through it f ecking rubbish ! . My BM doesn’t stock Dewalt because they are twats .

Because it looks tidy that way
