I thought it was 1:12 Fair play get a shed out that afterwards

Also a tip for overhead or eaves. Bang a couple of nails half into side of the rafters or joists. When you push the pir up it snags into these and holds flush while foam gets it

Another vote for loose and foam. And a mask

How accurate is the rule of thirds for development for builders?
Oz07 replied to Moonshine's topic in Costing & Estimating
friend of mine bought a plot in 2012. Had to change planning but recently sold all the units on the site. Paid slightly less than 10% GDV for the site. No that isn't a typo either. Banks were desperate for cash even then. -

Oz07 replied to Moonshine's topic in Costing & Estimating
It's a cyclical industry. Land values are high atm. That's why the most successful builders have land banks and options on land I reckon in the Midlands plots are regularly going up for up to 50% of final value. Scandalous -
I think the opposite. These cheap made ball bearing hinges are only made for so many cycles. I've gone round blocks of flats changing the lot. Surely for a residential house we could source a decent robust washered hinge

Best way to hang posi joists into different materials
Oz07 replied to Vijay's topic in Floor Structures
Seem to remember someone having problems in the past maybe on ebuild. It was to do with ledger plate and the joists not being tight which made them deflect more. Seem to remember @JSHarris giving advice? -
Why can't u mix 2 lots at once

They estimate 90 pcm whereas I gov octopus 55 and just recently had 600 back in credit how do I get the kwh figures?
-
It's unlimited referrals with octopus. Jeremy I might use your link and switch. I'm pretty sure the price difference in energy will not swallow the referral up in a hurry. I plan to move soon anyway

Is 2 blokes at slightly less than a week quicker than traditional slating?! What's the cost for the system

Should I fit solar panels
Oz07 replied to Russell griffiths's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
You think that your going to get 22m2 of panels fitted cheaper than the equivalent amount of roofing. With all the fiddly flashing?! -
Looks great. So far along before the scaffold comes down.when did you start?

50 quid a lining what's a whitewood one now 15? You could veneer your own I've done it before. However longevity would worry me with veneer

I think the tide is turning @recoveringacademic University degrees losing a lot of credibility in my eyes. Young tradesman out there earning a grand a week with no debt and some students saddled with debt working in a supermarket as jobs market is saturated with degrees. Obviously the two extreme sides of coin but not heard many trades moaning lately it's rich pickings at present.

Got a similar height at one side of my eaves. 1200mm. Works well for a desk then also have bath along this wall as you propose. Seems to work fine but where you position your beds will be important and think about wardrobes

Timber Frame "to Passive or not to Passive" that is the question
Oz07 replied to Red Kite's topic in Timber Frame
Fwiw I had a similar situation with planners and they let me use a non material amendment to explain walls were growing but internal volume remaining the same -
I'd still let floor designer specify ledger board and fixing schedule. Just tell them how you want it and let them do the math

Thanks too Jeremy. Still scrambled however. Do sunamp do a product to melt the ice on my windscreen or does it stop working when windscreen is 52% de iced
