At some point I need to install a flue through the roof ; should I worry about that later ?

I guess something similar - though just me lol

Another "I'v been thinking " question :-) As I'm doing all this on my own I was planning obviously to felt/baton the entire roof then bring up the tiles as and when I need them per side. Is this ok? Just thinking about the weight distribution on the timbers ...........

70m square not allowing for overlap

OK!; chalk to marking noted! Yes I seem to pick all the materials no one has!. Architect has just told me I can't use slate (even if I did it would quadruple the cost of tiling!). Hoping laganproducts linked by declan52 comes good and not £2 a tile!!!

Waiting for the sales rep to get back too me. Even clay Sandtoft 20/20 which I had my hopes on are sold out due to the lack of concrete. Lead times are 2018!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope your link turns good!!

Ok - but can you get them flat ? i don't like the ridged traditional look also concrete ones in short supply ; lead time 15 weeks !!

It will be my first and last roof!

Thanks. Yes sorry; in one of the videos I saw the wood running across the trusses i.e. at the apex of the roof. No valleys (phew!); just a simple roof :-) I hate heights!; even though it's only 1 story and at 30 degrees I'll have to grow a pair to get on it Chalk could be useful. I noticed in the videos that the membrane usually has guide lines marked on it for this. Cheers

Hey all, I'm about to order everything I think I need for my pitched roof (30 degrees). As I'm doing this myself any advice welcome!! There seems to be a national shortage of concrete tiles which is making things tricky. So I will need: The tiles :-) (have been told slate is a good choice given the concrete shortage) Ridge tiles Rafter tray? Verge kit (dry seems easier) such as : https://www.jjroofingsupplies.co.uk/ubbink-dry-verge-for-tiles/ Dry ridge kit https://www.jjroofingsupplies.co.uk/ubbink-ventilated-dry-ridge-kit/ Eaves guard? Breathable membrane (but which one!; so many to choose from!) BTW I'm not recommending that company but they do have some good videos! A stupid question! ( ); once I've got the membrane on and batons ; surely just walking up and down the batons there is a massively increased risk of putting my foot on the membrane and ripping it. Or is there some technique to avoid this??? Kneel on a piece of ply?? Cheers

I'm now thinking about moving the master bedroom doorway to be inline with the ensure . Place ensuite door to side . Basically remove the master bedroom 'hall' entrance .

Good god man ! If I did that my wife would murder me !!!

Thanks guys. Yes sorry; should of explained. Didn't intend running standard drainage inside. Would have hope fully 1 continuous pipe (no joins) and the connections outside the building. Should be ok to get a service eyelet in both ends in case of a blockage. I'll lag the internal pipework and clip it to the wooden roof structure to avoid condensation and noise. Simply can't have a horrible 7m pipe running across my property!

Yeah I did consider that; but it means thickening the wall (say for a pocket door)

My plan was to take it down the outside wall then in and through . cant have any drain down that side as a wall

Hey all, I'm going to have rainwater harvesting . Have a pitched roof. One side can go straight into the below ground tank. The other side of the roof will have guttering ; but rather than an unsightly pipe running from the gutter across the house to the tank on the other side; can I take this pipe work inside through the roof area and connect up on the other side into the down pipe?. Is that 'allowed'??? Cheers

Should I reduce the bathroom openning 'b' as well ??

Hey yeah I was thinking of moving 'A' i could move the ensuite door way to the side ( 'c') but was planning on fitted storage along that entire wall so was worried doorway might be tight to that . cheers

Hey all, What do we think of this? Doorway A & B seem rather 'tight' ; I'm worried once architrave is up they'll almost be touching. Also ensuite bathroom door('C') looks tight also. Cheers

Ordered a new front panel for around £24 - works perfectly. Though as I installed it a black plastic toothed 'wheel' fell out the old unit. Can't see where it goes but it seems to work fine. Always the way isn't it - a 'spare part' materialises out of then air.....

Bloody crappy plastic! ; why can't they spend the extra penny and make that bit metal? I'll just buy another front panel I think. Cheers

Hey Yeah it turns by hand manually but is very stiff. I'm guessing that plastic 'washer' in the last photo is physically part of the handle and has snapped off.

Hey all, Not sure where to post this so thought here would be good. This shower started 'clicking' as you adjusted the temp. Now the temperature dial doesn't seem to work. I've taken the cover off as I assume it's some plastic or something broken rather than a thermostatic valve or similar. Googled it; but can't see what goes where. i.e. can't tell if it is broken. Have this 'white' disc which seems to sit on the back of the control knob - but falls off!; is this broken? Cheers

Thanks

Thanks. The bathroom internal space is no issue.
