That gypsum stuff is good but not sure it's right if you want solid feeling whenever I've worked ontop of it always seems to have a tiny bounce/vibration. I think you want to go as thick as possible if solid feeling is your key criteria so maybe traditional screed best bet?

You can cut each board to the length of the one below it, hold it in position then holding another bit of timber underneath the roofing mark a line. If you make this bit of timber the right size it will give you the right size cut for your board to sit in the right spot

above ground ringbeam . Underground Drainage and shuttering.
Oz07 commented on Patrick's blog entry in Timber Portal Frame - but stick built
Coming along. Did you have to compact the backfill or dies it not matter if ring beam connect to piles? -
It was done on my last build. Wall hasn't separated at the bottom yet. I had to slit the cavity batts 225 vertically so the insulation overlaps ffl by 225
-
I've never heard of a rule where you can't have both in same joint. The brickies will normally roll the doc out first then put the ties on top. As much as they are supposed to butter the doc felt down it rarely happens so the tie's wouldn't be doing much if below the felt
-
Yes. You can pick different size profiles when you order your doors depending on product. Just get one which is big enough for the 3", your floor covering and a slight protrusion
-
Did this on last one and was much nicer not having to step over the upvc cill then down
-
If you have a decent depth of cill and a proper rebated frane section on the bottom you can actually sit the door 1 course below ffl. Finishes about an inch above your ffl giving a much nicer transition to outside
-
I think not caulking the top edge would be pretty common if can't be seen from above. Is this gap really going to be any more likely a path for sound transmission than the gap at bottom of door?

I've always gone with GIA - no wonder @nod built his so cheap his walls are 4m wide! haha
-
No it will have to be an open trench. Could range from being reasonable to very expensive depending on road, traffic, depth of sewer etc etc. I would imagine to 330 is an application fee and you would have to pay more for inspections and approval of finished work. Usually water boards will want you to use an approved contractor but check that out. Find out the depth off the water board and start getting some quotes.
-
Are the blocks thicker than the bricks? Why does there look to be a 25mm step in one photo? If the cavity continues as per the photo with that step it will be a bit better as wider cavity
-
Who needs a land drain when you have unsealed ic inspection chambers!? Tongue in cheek
-
Logistically also how do you think this works on a normal job? Plasterer is trusted to drill holes? Electrician comes back between 1st and 2nd fix yet before skimming? Don't the holes get filled with skim?! Loads neater to just do a good plan and cut out on 2nd fix

Package Quote vs Constituent Parts

Sorry just seen mvhr not the other bits. Still seems strong though but not my area expertise -

2.5k you mean surely? -
Can't have noticed it very well if you cut the board around it without moving!
-
What do you do go back while the boarders are boarding?!
-
How many u got @nod? ?
-
Who the hell cuts spotlights in first?! Crazy. If you ceiling is less than 2.4 do in full. That being said if was 1800 or less on 600 centres I'd be using the offcut.
-
I deserve a thanks off you for pointing it out before you had it skimmed...
-
Why does a riser need a seal? Some have them others are a tight fit. If you've got waste backing up to riser levels it's going to get cleared pdq so no risk of long term leak.
-
Won't you have a mare trying to fit that vent on the mvhr? It's right on the join between flat and vaulted.
-
I've worked with some very thorough eastern Europeans. Not shy of a long day either.
-
No they don't give a s**t generally, especially if site lads working on a price
