    Thankfully not. Hose was a pain to change though as the breaker is a JCB Quiet unit and the whole casing needs opening to get to the unions. Thankfully the throughbolts weren't *too* tight.

    First class. Less chance of kinking a bend too...

    Baseworks... complete. Treatment plant... in. And...relax. /mutter mutter didn't get piccys of the hole in the ground and the big seam of bluestone, that little breaker had to make it's way through. Popped a hose on Thursday but did the business.

    composite sink, metal taps, I think I'd be wanting the tap grounded more than the plumbing?
  6. dpmiller
    yes, I'm well impressed with the surface finish of the concrete. Shame to cover it all up...

    Now we're cooking. Subfloor poured today, so one row of quinnlites on their edge and we're at FFL. Provisionally looking at 3rd wek of October for the kit to arrive, scaffolder is booked on standby today, it's all moving on now.

    are electric and phone on the same poles?

    Hmm that's odd, the attachment appears to have scarpered? We're going TF. dorm093-350-Miller-NI-A.02.pdf

    Shaun did pretty much a full redraw of the parent design for ours- look at dorm093 and compare it to our finished product here: and yes, our Planning Consultant did the site maps but I'm sure Shaun could handle those too tbh.

    @Olly P you could do worse as an exercise than to look at the website of our guy. Some of his designs veer more towards the Irish than others... www.irish-house-plans.com

    3. Yup. Change of design on Reserved Matters retained on footings, but passed under previous Planning policy. 6& 8 our guy is more than a Tech but less than a full Arch. 10. no, not all the boxes. 15. One sign on the gate?
  13. dpmiller
    Definitely.

    We've used one of the local "off the shelf" designers, but had a full redesign of the standard plan to suit our requirements. Still ended up being pretty inexpensive.

    TT only from a transformer anyway. How come Morrows were involved then Dave, was there a road crossing?
  16. dpmiller
    Are you off a transformer or underground Dave? Guessins it's an underground if Morrow are involved. Yup, they are subconned to do the cable install but NIE will then make it live and fit the meter. There needs to be a compliant install for this to take place but if you're weathertight I'm sure your spark could sort a CU and a couple of double sockets before sending in the CC? A temporary supply would have needed requesting at time of order I believe.

    ^I'd be interested in that if it came off...

    didn't we just decide that having stuff plugged in inside drawers and cupboards was a bit risky?

    I'd think a stanley blade is too thin. The back edge of it, or the back of an old jigsaw/hacksaw blade maybe? You're using it as a scraper after all.

    if the window is foamed in where are you putting the Compriband anyway?

    children produce a lot of hot air.

    I'm 47 and put off/ talked myself out of this journey until we were mortgage free. For context tho, I bought the house we're in now when I was 20, I *wanted* to own a house then and paying even that £25k mortgage was hard work for the first years. But it's the choice I made.
  23. dpmiller
    ^ you can do that with the Hager Sollysta too.

    Sitrep. Rain has been stopping play somewhat recently, but the steels are in, Quinnlites are here, and the guys are getting things filled in ready to blind and then put the radon barrier over. BCO and blockman have a plan for levels vs DPCs etc from here up and it'll all work out nicely by the looks of it.
  25. dpmiller
    yes, but how many times can you walk over it before it shreds?
