Certainly looks like an old gas pipe

I like the idea of two dish washers, saves moving stuff into a cupboard,.. energy saving

As long as insulation is packed tight to the ridge board it will have a similar effect as all the other rafters. Timber is a poor conductor of heat.

Hi and welcome, searching past topics will give you more than enough info and feel free to post specific questions

@Dan1983 I bet that makes you feel loads better lol

Piling contractor will carry their own insurance for their works and they will be off site before you start doing anything else so no need for you to cover that part of the build, or are you saying the insurance companies will not cover a build with piled founds?

Save cash where it can be sorted later, kitchen, bathrooms etc. don’t cut corners with the doors (external) windows, fabric or foundations

If it is used as a garage or store and not open to the living accommodation then you don’t need three layers. As you walk over it have they allowed extra for local extra layers for a path of some kind

Very difficult to comment on prices without knowing where? Access? Etc etc. but roughly £175/sq meter for 3 layers and flashings doesn’t sound too far out.

Can’t see anything drastically wrong with the window, the piece coming away looks like a lintel. What is is made of?

Lightning protection is a funny area, if you don’t have a conductor then you may get hit and it may do some real damage, But! If you fit lightning conductors you Will get hit often so it needs to be done right. No “protection” conductor is better than a poorly done arrangement.

I bet no one else would ever notice, DIY is great apart from knowing about all the little things that could have been done differently. Stuff you never get to know about if someone else had done it.

How tall are you or other users? Shower head needs to be above your head and valves/handset at a height convenient for all

I have had alu Venetians and never again, they kink and crease too easily and then look terrible. Recently got some made to measure off eBay, wooden slats and they are really good, although a bit fiddly to fit because of this particular support clip design.

Do you need to span if you are looking to suspend nearer to a wall? What about cantilevered bracket off said wall? If you do need to span you don’t necessarily need a steel beam, could be timber. If steel could also be cold rolled (purlin etc) rather than hot rolled. Loads of possible solutions.

@Danthebuilder I’m pretty sure the parts are still available for that model. Happy to check early next week if you want.

Grp thickness g/sm really depends on what is supporting it, larger spans are better done as a sandwich with light weight core

A crosscut blade, highest number of teeth for the diameter you can get. The 6-1/2 inch ultra thin blades are fantastic

I like it, would make an awesome aquarium

OSB is not airtight

Good morning and welcome, I have been looking for an old pub for years. I reckon they would make fantastic projects

I like the angular design, but omg it huge!

My bad, mark, read the bloody post properly before assuming … I was talking about hardie backer board. 🙄

I reckon i would use aquapanel, it’s easy, stiff and I hate cutting backer board.

Loads of sockets under kitchen sinks, not ideal but I don’t know of anything that says you can’t and it’s far better than having the sockets behind the appliance
