I'd prefer something not hard bound like plannings which could be repaired easily. Not great for workshop though.

1 60 is more like 18mm. I've laid at 12 before now.

Not end of the world

Some rotary levels so this and mark with the reciever. Mine does. Also gives 90 deg

Is the slab poured on polythene? Do you have a section of drawing I don't understand why you'd need waterproofing. My slab is below dpc level of brickwork but wrapped up

Just ask when ordering if part m compliant. Look ok to me.

What made you swap methods?

What do you lot all pay for internet. I'm currently paying 40 for internet and SIM only mobile pretty much all unlimited think only 10gb on the phone data though. If I move to virgin their low vroom package is like 32, the phone is around 12 quid then you get 5 off if you have both. This is thru business and excludes vat. Suddenly I think 500 quid a year is a decent chunk of money.

What would a mortgage company be happiest with. Twin timber frame or icf? What is classed as standard and non standard?

Mdf/ply/OSB used to be roughly a pound per mm plus vat. Was a good yardstick. I reckon you'd pay 45 quid for a sheet of 18mm now?

I'll be pissed if I get clobbered for future tax rises. I was happy to be one of the so called 'forgotten' ltd who didn't receive a penny. I look after myself. I have a feeling though I'll somehow get clobbered for more NI going forward. They have already bought in tax on divis. Subbies should start paying more NI if they took any of the covid grants.

I had one and I lost a purchaser once because their solicitor wasn't happy about the ownership agreement. Can't really remember how it works but they all own a share of it I think All jointly responsible. Although they need my permission to grant any other person access across it so in theory no further development bit like a ransom strip I suppose? I would always try to avoid one again if poss just as the potential for dispute is always there. Although wouldn't rule out a house because of it especially if only shared between 2

I'm going fibre next month with virgin supposed to average around 200mbs

Availability might be a consideration. Few years ago it was easier to get hold of clay

As above timber doubled maybe even 150%. Cement was 8 quid a bag at one point think it's back down around a fiver now used to be just over 3

Stub cill or some kind of cill to achieve greater set back gets my vote.

You could cap it with some decorative gravel I'd of thought. To me it looks like the drawing asks for it to come up to ground level?

Sorry see this is old. I'm sure I used passive house systems after date of this thread

Why don't they sell direct anymore? Why would you do that

Put a for sale sign on it out front of house. Like homer Simpson did. Nobody takes it if it's free.

Think I'd be taking up to ground level but not familiar with the standard practice

Magnet sometimes do good price on 100mm to get you through the door

Yes I agree. I think all the cut to fit ones are pretty flimsy though so buyer beware

I would fit them if it were me, I then overlaid these with osb bedded on airtight foam.

I reckon the preformed ones are less insulating that the actually cavity wool. Possibly make it easier to get airtight seal though as you haven't got leaky cuts
