  1. They seem to want unsurprisingly the bigger bills i.e. insulation and of course walk on glazing!!! Unfortunately their website only allows 20 uploads and some of my single invoices are in fact multiple pages. So I'm stuck until a human looks at this.
  2. Crumbs ! . 2 days later after online submission already had an email from them ! Asking for copies of certain invoices . The largest vat one is £200 , smallest £8 …. 😝
  3. I think you only get one bite of the cherry I.e can only submit once and that’s it . Actually submitted mine online today - sure I saw wording to that effect .
  4. Thats still work ! . Don’t you like my spray ?
  5. Possibly I guess . Get costings for all options . Assume the ‘less light’ if smaller not a major issue ?
  6. Erm . Well ! I may have (expletive deleted)ed up a bit with this on my build . It’s a long torturous tale of woe . Less than 700 then alter it .
  7. From the reviews I e read you have to ‘apply’ it - that sounds like work ! . My spray = no effort
  8. Yes - I am VERY experienced in this type of situation …
  9. No , you try mine !
  10. This stuff is MAGIC for that . Best I’ve found . Spray , leave , repeat
  11. No ! Just (expletive deleted)ing irritating full stop !
  12. I’m a perfectionist also ( not ) . You’re only 3 yrs in - that’s toddler stage . Go another 9 and you’ll be up with me 👍
  13. I’ll show you everything !! Are you ready for that though ???
  14. No - even more as I have my extensive experience to share
  15. It’s been a long 12 yrs 🤣 I use to frequent ebuild ( I think that’s what it was called ) even before my build commenced . When that disappeared I did worry ! . But found the resurrection in buildhub . I knew I couldn’t do the build on my own . A non standard design with no help . I assumed ( incorrectly ) bco would be on my back with a self build and ‘help’ me … the opposite occurred . Everything in life I do on my own ( no rude jokes ) ; I can learn what I need to get the job done ( this does not make me an expert ! ) . Buildhub has been invaluable - I built a house via the internet . I think that’s (expletive deleted)ing amazing tbh ! So for all the noobs with no experience etc I do have advice ! You are either cash rich and time poor or the opposite. Cash rich you can pay others to accelerate your build . Time rich you do it yourself . As I am self employed and didn’t have the cash ( no (expletive deleted)er is going to give me a self build mortgage ) then time is my friend . Remove stress points . A self build mortgage will put you under massive pressure - to release the next payment . Don’t rent temporarily when you can buy . To partially fund our build we sold our house and bought a shitty flat . This took any rental issues off the table and equity appreciation allowed the crap flat to add to the finance of the build once sold . We then lived on site - a cash saving for sure at the expense of ‘normality ‘ . By not being tied to a loan nor tied to time I (expletive deleted)ed about for a decade and got it done . Stress existed - but it was rare . This is the way ! I still have a hundred bits to fanny around with . Remove pressure , remove stress . Appreciate everyone’s in a different situation . But don’t let the build destroy you . It’s a bitch and you are the master ( bit of bdsm there for my followers ) . Ask for help on the forum always . (expletive deleted) things up - so what ! . Waste 1000’s on a balls up - so what . Haven’t got a clue ? - so what . Plan a strategy!
  16. Look what I got in the email !!! Bco can (expletive deleted) off planning can (expletive deleted) off most of all neighbors can (expletive deleted) right off “To fight is foolish , to win is super mofo “ Pocster 2024
  17. I have in some situations mains and cat cables running together . No interference or issues with this that I can detect .
  18. Ah yes ! I’ve plucked a few corks in my time . Always smell them to check they’re fresh . If good ; ram the bugger in 👍🍾🥳🤠😝
  19. So impressed with customer service received new ptz ( failed outside warranty ! ) received new video doorbell needed another ip camera ; so ordered reolink again - free upgrade to 2 yr warranty . The shite may break all the time but at least you get a replacement 🤣
  20. Nothing . Beam and block ! I’m unlikely to antagonise my bco further !!!
  21. Lots of stuff here . Remember bco has called this irrespective of his ‘knowledge ‘ ( or lack of ) Steels are about 350% over spec ( as SE told me ) so we can safely say “ chunky “ . How much is exposed ? Depends on which steel . Worst case 2 faces I.e the flat underside and 1 web . The steel does not support walls or roof etc - purely exists for stairwell . Above 30 min fire rated ceiling . No cables ( only low voltage lighting anyway ) cross the steel . Light cables go to perimeter lighting ring I.e not back to CU and hence across the steels .
  22. Thanks Mandy !
  23. Thanks for all the help as always . Planning and building control is a lot of BS and box ticking . Play the game to win 🥇
  24. Get the wheelbarrow ! Why ? Got to get my extra large testies in there ! Legends aren’t born . They are made ! Party !! Legend ! 🍾🍷 Party on !!! L-E-G-E-N-D !
