My external Renderer is starting Tuesday . K rend ‘off white ‘ . He said it can dis colour with mould etc . But it washes off with no issue . Photos once he’s done some work !

Enjoy the torture / pain / enlightenment..... ??

French wine will cost more ! Bugger ! ?

Hey ! Welcome ! You’ll get much more help from the more intelligent that will be along shortly. Just installing my mvhr !

Just the odd trickle when it rains . Probably how it started on the titanic! Looking forward to wine time later ! Onwards ! Deeper into the depths of the earth !

More screws than timber . I manage it ok - will be nice once glazing is in to work indoors and under cover for the first time since the ‘project’ began .

Did a ‘fudge’ step at the top - ‘feels ‘ better when walking down and round the top edge . Carpentry skills award ?

Ok ! Not for you !!!

If you have some skills ... raspberry pi with amp hat streaming via iPeng is a joy!

Rail needed on other side of course !

The more safety I add the less mobile they become . Tricky bit at top as you need to turn to exit staircase and change height . Feels acceptable to me going up the stairs - feels awkward coming down from the top. Can’t think of a better way of doing this . Still SWMBO will only fall once ☠️

I’m alright- 4 years in . If it takes another 4 years no sweat

True . Walk on glazing ( for example ) already available in the UK is a good bet .

It will be more expensive for imported materials from the EU Sorry ; thought I’d say something sensible and likely ?

Remember all these are just temporary!!!

Yes . Also I need them to be relatively mobile . I can’t manage a 90kg staircase up / down on my own safely. In 2 halves made getting it down there no problem and moving it in/out the stairwell a fairly quick job and safe !

No one goes any further on site than the entrance for deliveries . It will be safe ! I’m going to use it all the time !! Any subbies to date have been using my outdoor rotting staircase- so this is far safer

The beauty of self build. BC have no interest in any safety aspect what so ever within the site. So as long as nothing spills/falls/etc outside i.e. towards the public it's not an issue. Safety is actually quite important to me ( stop laughing! ) ; as it's just me everyday and I don't want to die yet.

As the top stairs literally slide up over the bottom stairs it's almost asking for hydraulic automation. But alas it is only 'temporary / i.e. 2 years min. Will try and finish it tomorrow and even take a photo of me standing on it to prove it conforms to every safety standard known to man.

Not quite finished but ... “ Necessity is the mother of invention “ Indeed the worlds first sliding staircase . Top half slides up over bottom half and will eventually lock in place Looks like an @Onoff monster

Yes it’s a fair point . I’ve got no where to fall - apart from that big hole . After a few days my wife would notice me missing and report it . My own urine is quite nice so I could survive .

Steady ! I’ll hack your shitedroid from here !

Exactly! Enough said . Quality !

Yes . Off mains it will charge batteries . With no mains it runs off the battery .

Because with head phones I can’t hear delivery drivers and arrogant neighbors! Plus i’ve Already bought it . Also I don’t carry my phone around with me on site - it stays out of harms way . Bluetooth ear phones ( like Jabra elite - which are also really good ) are for gym and running .
