I think the issues are more to do with the type of "tradesmen", usually caravan enthusiasts, which offer their services in this area. You will find exactly the same issues with tarmac if you look at sone drives. As above, all in the prep.

Some temporary 4 inch nails down into the perps or blocks if soft enough help to stop it from moving while framing the roof. Then straps as above.

Are you handy? The donkey work is pretty simple DIY

What grips the compo?

Used them on this job for someone as log cabin base. Can be hard to knock the spikes in to the hard-core but if one or two break off not the end of the world as they all interlock anyway.

What did you pay out of interest? Small bits of kit like these are normally a great earner for the companies % wise. Wouldn't go back to hand nailing would you...

Plaster stains oak doesn't it? Fit afterwards if poss as above

72 or 36 hours the longest retarder. It is easy to plan if the weather plays ball. Mix consistency, colour and strength all spot on.

I couldn't get for this place but is definatley the way forward. Think there's a bit more wastage and bit of waiting time but if you have a dumpy of sand and few cement on site for blockwork to avoid dead starts.

No minimum. I've had 750mm before now. Architect puts sone mot on drawing about non flammable construction job done

I undercut all around and foam in with inbetween fitting. Easier and better job IMO. I use foil tape if I have to do pir over top of joists/rafters. In my layman brain it completes the foil vapour barrier.

Do you have a tardis to go back to the 60s

With ones as heavy as that i reckon you'd want to sling them properly not just stick the forks in the middle and lift

Re spec what kind of thickness back panels do these German have? One point with UK suppliers DIY are the only company who seem to supply full thickness 18mm back panels. Its not the be all and end all just a genuine difference I thought worthy of mention.

How is OP going to loft trusses off the truck? Telehandler did I read he had?

Never had or fitted treated trusses

Who has time for more than 8 hrs on site exc travel. You must literally be sacrificing your life.
