Splitting the freehold plot - when is best?
Oz07 replied to Happy Valley's topic in Party Wall & Property Legal Issues
When you sell. Can define all rights, boundaries, obligations etc etc then. -
Yep @Nickfromwales that's why I went 22mm copper over to manifolds then 15 or 10 from there. The garden tap is straight after stop cock and is fierce compared to my old place or neighbours. Around 20l per min
-
Bigger pipe more flow rate not more pressure
-
Always put them in. Worst job in the game. Boring. Ignore dormer had to alter size after it was built to the drawing.
-
Fyi I think my pressure is somewhere around 1.5/2 bar. Neighbours in old 30s place with that 3/8 supply literally cannot run a tap upstairs if downstairs was running
-
I put 32mm in mine as pressure round here not so good. Only had 25mm previously in old house different area. Connection price is not much dearer at all. There was someone here if I remember correctly that had a 32mm connection and the water co. Fitted the wrong box. They got a hefty discount from memory like upwards of 75%. It's almost worth having the 32 connection just in hope that they use the wrong box, then you get massive discount!

Yes, has been good to me but only coming up to a year old. Seems you can end up with a dud quite often but can return as unfit for purpose. Few cons with it too but put a few thousand through it in that icy weather week before last and didn't miss a beat.
-
Does that include deck? Which kind? Presumably can drop to 18mm on 400 c/c 304mm works better for guage on traditional build when beam filling.
-
Can't see any imperfections. Great job.

One does the morning delivery, the other second class. Seriously though the naked dewalt is good value if OP already has batteries. If you adopt @nod strategy you could keep for 11 months just before warranty runs out then sell. Be suprised if it cost you 50 quid for a year.
-
My last was Hitachi. As said I kind of wish I'd stuck with this bit had dewalt batteries and found the naked gun good value. Here's mine on bump fire 90s the other week took it to show someone.
-
Mine is good. Pro use since the spring and less than 5 jams I reckon. Downside is quite heavy. If I'm honest I preferred my previous gas gun due to weight. However I would probably have struggled with it in cold last week. The rather hook is dog poo. I think you can get a Friday afternoon job with these.

My old window guy stuck the trickles on his new place, took them off after sign off.
-
How do you know he wouldn't have given you one back?! What's up with shaver sockets can't you get adapters or maybe even change it to a socket after sign off.
-
Straps to fix back to internal blockwork with packers to hold level and plumb?!
-
Minimum 30mm setback into cavity to comply with building regs as far as I understand. How deep is your frame
-
Most have white frames internally. Grey too strong inside
-
Why do you have blocks coming up on internal partitions are the load bearing? I prefer one flat slab. Don't discount a parge coat I used a sand cement slurry mix, took a day. Got a really good airtightness result, I suspect this is due to detailing where different materials meet, not sure how much the parge actually does but for such an easy DIY job it's no brainer.

Frost protection setting
Oz07 replied to Oz07's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
Just says factory set of the incoming air at 1deg although can be set down to -15 I think -
What temp do you lot have your frost protection setting at? Mine is apparently factory set at 1deg c but I am sure I have seen it not come on until 0 deg c I want to knock it down a few degrees as I suspect this increases my heating loss due to the way the frost protection works (unbalanced?) I suspect having a relatively cheap unit - Domus HRXD - I am safe to go down a few degrees as it wont be the most efficient unit (upto 86%) on the market anyway?
-
On a cavity wall I took mine out past the internal skin, had the internal skin laid 300mm up to dpc then pulled it up the outside of this skin and effectively wrapped this area. Don't blocks perform better insulation wise if dry?

Stamp Duty
Oz07 replied to nod's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
Does your local paper have a reputation for breaking scoops on government policy? -
Got one in my cu. Wasn't officially a reg at the time bit was close and sparky said that's the way it's going.

Johnny is this the detail in the photo? It looks to me like your PIR is directly ontop of rafters
