You have been asking all the questions, I have been taking the answers 😬 Only 9 months in 😉

Hopefully have all the steel finished tomorrow. Treads will be oak, 275 x 112 with glass, will be a while before they are done though. My build is probably on the same timeline as yours 😂😉

Nice staircase @pocster I made a start on mine today, not as fancy as yours though…..

eBay is a flat out waste of time nowadays! Paypal will refund your money as the item is faulty, guarantee the seller won’t reply if you contact them.

Thanks @TonyT, makes it easier & saves waste. I wasn’t sure if they needed to be staggered for finishing but should almost be a better finish not having them staggered 🤔 I presume that I can get them locally, some arrived with the kit for another part of the house so worst case I can use them & order others.

I have a hallway ceiling to plasterboard on a new build, it is 2.7m wide & 7m long. can I use 2.7m sheets & in a row without staggering them? Pros & cons?

I have a hallway ceiling to plasterboard, it is 2.7m wide by 7m long, can I just use 2.7m sheets inline or do I need to stagger them?

Have you got any photos of this? I will need lights in the near future for vaulted ceilings.

Looking for advice on how to frame two triangles to meet the block work on a timber frame kit, once framed I will be fitting Fermacell board which will then be rendered.

That’s the stuff that I am using 👍🏻

@Russdlno installation instructions but I don’t have the windows on site, I presume they will be with them.

We are maxed out & couldn’t afford their fitted price but I know what you are saying.

Yeah it was silver, which is only install support so my joiners are fitting them.

Thanks @Conor We paid for “installers” but apparently they just show up for 1.5 days & help / give advice etc.

We will be installing Internorm windows & doors in the next few weeks, just wondering if others have used compriband & expanding foam or just foam on its own then air tight tape. Windows are uPVC aluminium clad into timber frame kit.

Yes sir, everyday that I am off. Creating an air gap and insulating between rafters with 100 + 70mm celotex.

I will have loft space but would rather have less of the ducting in the cold loft, just personal preference.

Thanks @Nickfromwales For bedroom 1 if I was to have 2 terminals would you suggest single or double runs for these or as the drawing, 1 double & 1 single?

Here is an MVHR layout that I have received, I would like any feedback if possible. New 1.75, 375m2 build. I think the lounge should just have 1 terminal with double pipe. No terminals in the hall. The extracts in the kitchen should both be double pipe. Bedroom 1 has a vaulted ceiling so would prefer just 1 terminal for this also. edit, all of the first floor are JJI joists, the kitchen/family room have had access hoses cut in them prior to installation as they are 400mm centres.

Just wondering what people have done for temporary lights for a new build? Tripod type / daisy chain etc photos would be great for inspiration 🙂

The steel portal frame is integrated with the timber frame, this is simply to support 4” blocks.

This is for the block work, there is a steel portal frame for the slider. I am looking for advice for a steel beam/lintel to support the 4” blocks above the 5m sliding door.

I will soon require a steel lintel to go above a 5m sliding door. 1 & 3/4 storey Scotframe timber kit blocked in. Do I need to ask a SE about this or is there a fairly straightforward solution?

Internorm are 25 weeks for aluclad upvc now, mine were ordered in may.
