  1. you want the lining to be the full width of the wall will look crap ottherwise. Make one out of a sheet of 18/22mm mdf.
  2. not that ive seen. Standard 2x1 .
  3. the BCO doesnt know that its going to be upgraded. Silly.
  4. did you post pictures of the finished article ?
  5. Still waiting for why a structurally fixed lump of timber isn't permanent. Regs do not say it has to be pretty.
  6. what's not permanent about it ? Is plasterboard screwed to wall not permanent?
  7. maintain 50mm air gap then fill with PIR and overboard with insulated plasterboard. You are going to lose a bit of head height but at least you wont freeze taking a bath!
  8. no issue at all. trenches often have a couple inches of water in them when conc is poured for example. The problem is when face brickwork is not dry and it rains, struggle to ever get the staining out of the courses below.
  9. some say a nails width gap? Our last build had a large flat (warm) parapet roof (10x6), i butted the OSB (cheaper than ply) up tight and had zero squeaks, movement.
  10. why hemp build ? Creating a headache and cost right off the bat. Excellent insulation levels can be achieved much more cost effectively with normal traditional build types. Save the money for elsewhere!
  11. i use roomsketcher, 10x easier to use and it properly 3d renders including furniture .
  12. how can they fit it wrong, its tongue and groove ? Maybe your local brickies cant tell up from down!
  13. fantasy prices. Like a brick costing £12 before discount.
  14. prepare to be royally bent over. ASHP from city plumbing 2-3k, tank 1k. daylight robbery by plumber 10k for couple days work.
  15. save yourself a lot of hassle, have 400 GAPS not centres so when you rip the PIR you have zero waste. You may need an extra truss and spend 10 mins making the plasterboard work but will save hours and £££ on the hateful task of insulation ripping.
  16. sheet of ply screwed over the glass to 800mm above floor. pass inspection. remove ply and fill the screw holes. end of drama.
  17. yep thats them.
  18. those are metal. looking at the plastic ones.
  19. 250mm for brick and block
  20. Anyone found a cheap source for these ? Really want to use them on the build but £2.50 for a wall tie is a very hard pill to swallow.
