Top clamp thing is a fly tying vice

It wasn't meant to be a best price - was more that even online I can get a cheaper and better solution than the merchant price on Actis. And I think someone cocked up on your order as I've no idea how they got it less than £20 a roll !!

Ask him for the acoustic performance of his product and how it meets the sound attenuation part of the Building Regs for use in internal separating walls.... If you buy 2 pallets of the Frametherm 40 you will also have about 200sqm left to insulate between walls and floors - its probably the best value of them all.

So I've had a quick look - these are straight off Insulation4Less and I've compared to your current SIG price for Actis Prod No Qty Unit £ Total £ Boost’R Hybrid 15 £ 56.00 £ 840.00 150mm Hybris(3.84m2 p/roll) 40 £ 35.25 £ 1,410.00 Mulitdhesif Tape 3 £ 5.99 £ 17.97 90mm Knauf Frametherm Roll 40 (10.94m2 p/roll) Pt 24 525 Sqm £ 662.40 £ 1324.80 Celotex 45mm 55 158 Sqm £ 11.85 £ 651.75 Foil Tape 3 £ 8.00 £ 24.00 90mm Knauf Frametherm Roll 35 (6.84m2 p/roll) Pt 24 328 Sqm £ 759.36 £ 1,518.72 Celotex 25mm 55 158 Sqm £ 9.35 £ 514.25 Foil Tape 3 £ 8.00 £ 24.00 All get the 0.16 uValue as far as I can see with 200x48 joists at 600mm centres

Ok so the Hybris cannot be used in a wall as acoustic insulation as it has negligible acoustic properties ..!! Is this SIG telling you this ..???

I did this with a commercial project and it proved to be a pain - you need a bigger crusher than you expect especially if you're going to pull founds or concrete slabs up as these do not crush well in the smaller machines. Ignoring the environmental impact, I worked out that it would have been more cost effective to take off site and buy in the hardcore

Is this in relation to a request to provide Frametherm or something similar ..? Have you tried Insulation Giant as a starting point online ..? Then get the quote and spec and ask them to price against that. If they send back prices for Actis after that, find a new BM..!

Looking at the state of the hole bored in the casing I would say they aren't going to be in the best of health ! They have wiring inlets which have been ignored.

Been raining has it ..??!

This isn't a bad deal but either needs 2 of you or a leg on the staff ! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CST-BERGER-24X-AUTOMATIC-AUTO-DUMPY-SITE-LEVEL-FULL-KIT-/222163208091?hash=item33b9f5879b:m:mQZDuHd5DiRb8bOG7OkBuOA

Most Siemens Building Systems stuff has very good interface control - I expect the motor head has control switches that indicate its position so a bypass wouldn't be needed as you could shut off any pumps if the switches weren't open. I'd expect no change from £2-300 ...

OK - problem with lifting anything is reach, and a digger no matter how big has a finite ability to reach and place as your lifting point is the bucket. On a B&B floor you will need to pick up a beam at mid point and lift it to mid point of the floor - unless you have a full side run, you need to get the machine swing over the site from a single point and it just won't work. The other issue is loading on the arm - at full stretch, a 5 tonne machine will struggle with over a couple of hundred KG - an offroad telehandler would be ok at 12m with the same load but its designed to do a job.

Brilliant thank you ! Who's are the verge covers...?

Anglia Water..? From request to quote (and desk survey) was just over 2 weeks..! And I got a number to ring as we have options on either side of the gates

Parallel to the wall would indicate its not load bearing, but it could be butressing the outer wall so if you can leave a stub it would help in that instance to stabilise the outer wall. If its not structural, why would you need BC...?

Nah you can - he just needs to buy the appropriate attachments for the mini digger don't you @recoveringacademic

You have to be very skilled to use pallet tines on an excavator as they do not have any of the grace of a 2D front loader or telehandler...! I'd also struggle to find a machine under 5 tonne that could hold a pallet of bricks level at anything past 3ft off the ground.

Just the edge detail onto the rafters or from the end if possible..? Would be interested in how it looks in profile.

Thanks - looks really neat Have you got any photos close up..?

So if its in the house isn't it an insurance job..??

Like the lack of boxy soffit/fascia - was that fairly easy to achieve..?

There are a few !

500 is ample - you may want twin immersions though. Once a month or once a fortnight for leigionella is fine

6 tonner...?? Got to be getting on a bit according to plant sales as probably a late 90's unit..? seen it running...?

Both very good - Daewoo Heavy Engineering make some massive units that are used world wide
