dust wont be a problem have you seen the dust they create when mixing gear. Is he on price though as might have the ump if not 100% ready to go at. Don't slow them down

Looks good. When rolling does he put a completely new coat on or just go over the wet spray coat?

They stick upvc to underside on developer garage openings if using a catnic

Normal as it is. I'd say it would be unusual to plasterboard 1 side first. They will bang their own noggins in as needed. No stress

trench width seems big I've seen plenty of drain runs excavated with a 12" bucket. Is that a reg or just a guide?

This thread could not be a more perfect example of the level of understanding the average person has of their heating system.

Good chance op doesn't even know what cop is...

Very topical... ill grab my popcorn 🍿

I'm assuming he's still gonna go down br route. He can get them inspected and poured before planning if he wants?

Why is it wrong to dig foundations in your garden before the planning comes through. It's only like digging a hole in your garden. If the neighbours are on side and happy I don't think there's any moral quandary. Crack on if you're brave and confident the planning coming, if thats what you want to do.

What are we talking about bc or planning here? Could you not submit notice with bc and proceed with building regardless of planning

Some big screws used there i assume? What are the packers just an offcut of same section timber?

Assume with well insulated house you bring temp down during day when sun shining?

Normal non smoke fire doors can have this size gap at bottom. I've never seen a smoke door in single dwelling so you should be fine.

What about materials. I think you need cheaper energy for these to cost less. Energy prices effect everything.

I think different cultures have a hard time understanding this problem.

Is there any mechanism for build costs to come down? Nothing looks deflationary to me. Even if house prices cool I don't see how build costs reduce

Yet half the installers can't manage it.

I do yeh I think they are designed for this as downpipe sits on fins and allows leaves to come out but your way with shoe be fine. Probably better

I normally cut the downpipe into this grid then you can still take the main grid off to clean the gully out. Could also use a shoe.

Half the plumbers i know wouldn't have a clue about how wc works and curves. One i know refers to wc as basically you tell the boiler what you want it to do and it just ignores you and does what it wants 🤣

I can just imagine trying to explain it to someone and using the acronym oat and them thinking im talking about porridge 😅

Excuse the naivety but how does weather comp even save much? Surely you have a thermostat once the heating hits this or gets close it turns off. Is it just trying to stop it overshooting too much? In my last place I had gas and rads, ran 24/7 with thermostat set at a temp. Never felt over hot (due to heating, exc summer) or to cold. I'm probably perfectly demonstrating why the average man on the street won't understand it 🤣

How many people who go on about this comfort mode are either retired or part of the wfh laptop class? Alarm clock britain (fast disappearing) is fine with a bit of heating morning and night. They don't want a physics degree to understand how to work their heating or an inflated electric unit price to justify spending thousands on batteries.

Expect to be dismissed. Not many will view it from any other perspective.
