  1. Might be easier to spec joists with 2" longer top chord and use that detail. Possibly cheaper too
  2. Bolt ledger plate onto wall. Nail Joist hangers onto plate
  3. I understand so little of this debate. It's almost a different language. Pcm 32 vs 58. My brain is scrambled
  4. That's passable tbf! For me it's either that or redwood and painted. Anything with a thin veneer such as ply is asking for trouble in such a high traffic location
  5. Looks good what kind of money per m2? Does this replace need for parge coating?
  6. glues/nails are what squeak. Having said that if you're motoring along they help to keep things in check. I usually pop a nail in each end on first run and pull a string line between nails. Get first row to line up with the line, glue, nail bang away you go
  7. Might be best to go 400 centres in your case. At least if you make a mistake setting out studs your not wasting too much of a board. Ie using just over 800 no instead of just over 600mm.
  8. Cheers both
  9. Not if it's going cheap. But has that person made the same mistake?
  10. Quick question if the boffins on here wouldn't mind. Is there any reason why I can't use kingspan tr27 under a floor in a renovation? Got one room to renew slab in and want to insulate. It's for flat roofs but what's the difference once it's under concrete? Not suitable for underground? https://www.kingspan.com/gb/en-gb/products/insulation/insulation-boards/therma/thermaroof-tr27-lpc-fm
  11. Does anyone remember the house that John built or was it rebuilt. Years ago on discovery
  12. Preventing a developer muscling in only to build a house on said plot! As said above take a breath and see what your options are on the financial side
  13. Octopus
  14. What are the official hours 10-5?
  15. Sometimes 2
  16. I do one load of washing a week that's the only thing I get to use it for haha
  17. 17p day 9p night 19p standing charge Don't know why I went on e7 hardly get to use it
  18. Isn't an IBC 1 cubic metres. Easy enough to fill for cross check Sorry just read the conclusion
  19. Nothing to lose if sticking. Apart from cost of tape. Try and see
  20. as with most things get quotes as early as possible then just let them keep chasing you
  21. Glad to hear it's not just confined to block built houses. Some of these boarders are rough too joining boards in line with window reveals
  22. So @Temp does this mean a company can build to rent while still claiming vat back quarterly during construction? Need a layman's interpretation
  23. Interesting on the vat issue. Why a developer can't build to rent and claim vat back yet investor can buy off developer with zero vat and let out. What's that about
  24. They're ok to fix to with the right method. However more expensive than other blocks
  25. So is there a consensus on good makes of shower tray? Think I've decided to go down this route. I read the tech spec on those mira flight ones. The section through tray made it look a bit weak. Also if you read spec when it comes to solid floor installation they are almost giving themselves a disclaimer
