    Make sure you report back with your findings as I'm interested. Last job I had 150mm cav, aircrete blocks and blown in wool. .18 u value but I would of preferred using denser block with beads like yourself. I just found it hard to get reliable prices for eps blown bead. as jsh says if living in property for some time and your not restricted with your plot size it would be interesting to see payback on 200 cav u value

    50 and 75 pir if 5mm isn't a deal breaker

    How you doing 325 in block? I was thinking for a job the other month and I thought rather than pay thru nose/long wait for 350mm trenchers it would be easier to lay 3 blocks. 1 on edge, 2 on side next to. Then for next course the same but put the edge block under opposite leaf. Seemed lass faf than filling cavity?

    Presuming you painted that string!?

    I've done it before you still leave a margin but it just then looks like a rebated lining. Helps when you haven't done the first fix and they're out of plumb

    Use clay then and do away with the bedding on pipework. All of a sudden £300 on bedding doesn't sound too bad!

    Not advice to rely on but I've found a lot of our tax system - outside of the realms of paye rely on honesty and compliance from the persons involved. I'm not encouraging avoidance btw. I've transferred land before though and have used values which were reasonable on sdlt. No one has ever checked these figures but obviously they could. The point im getting at is be wary of paying for professional valuations. Aslong as you don't take the piss it would likely never be checked.

    Might be in the compo

    I screw linings after pilot and countersinking all legs at the same time. It's slow but I like linings to be spot on. Watch out your not fixing linings where lock or hinges go. Recipe for blunt chisels. I would never screw the architraves on that just seems rough as hell to me. 2nd finish nailer all day. I've seen people do the whole set at time but seems to much agro to me. I go bang all the heads on then cut all legs. Leaving out rooms where flooring to be fitted first.

    I always join on joist it's not hard if you've set joists out for a multiple of 2400. Doesn't waste too much and I just trim all outside after finishing deck

    Would that hall give enough space with regards to disabled regs. You need the 800mm clearance between doors plus certain allowance to turn? Same issue for gf wc. May just need tweaking with slightly wider stairs and hall

    Yeh my guns never been right since I used this gas 2/3weeks ago. I've serviced it twice but never had a lint free cloth to hand so hoping when I do it next time with the cloth it's 100%. Is there anything else you can do apart from clean and oil? I can't see what else goes wrong

    Really struggled on last build as used some left over 4" duct for water and kept catching on corrugated sides. Tried a few tricks which didn't work before I noticed some 10mm speedfit knocking about. Straight through with rope on end, rope tied to mdpe, mdpe pulled straight through
  15. Oz07
    No I mean you don't rip 200mm into 25 you cut 25mm gear to the desired width. You'd certainly struggle at 200mm thick

    Are you having a laugh?
  17. Oz07
    Seen it loads. 100mm rip will be fine. Merchants will do it on wall saw if you ask nicely. The polythene holds it in place. You will prob end up using a lot of 25mm otherwise and more wasteage on your thicker sheets

    Keith vaz will sort u out

    It's being built overhand. Guessing he doesn't want to climb out on the corner to take the line up!

    I saw one used on a job last year. As has been said the finish was so good I pity the bloke who has to touch up when done
  21. Oz07
    Never done it at a shed. What did you pay out of interest? I don't pay that much for 70x45 and find it much more rigid
  22. Oz07
    Is your mains water to come in one of those 63mm ducts. Be weary of water supplier and their inspection criteria. Sometimes they want to see 4" duct. God knows why.

    The windows are fixed into timber frame thru reveals over there too. They're a "structural" part of the window I suppose
  24. Oz07
    The windows come with reveals pre fixed in oz and are put in before brickwork skin on 1st fix. Anyway i I don't think that ply is 3 layers. They're probably cleverly using some rips as an architrave. I agree looks cool

    I'd rather have ic's and ridding points than not have them and need them! You know you can use the lids which can be paved
