@epsilonGreedy I've handballed them up loads before but when they're attic trusses and top heavy sometimes its more aggro than its worth. If you paying your guy/s on a day rate then sometimes its penny wise pound foolish. Do you have a photo or plan of the top floor layout? Do you have anywhere you could shoot a young man over the plates with a middle wall or tower scaff?

Yes I am waiting between 1-2 months for a new fridge with no firm date. Its a good deal though so patience needed

Max truss centers width for a slate roof.
Oz07 replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
think 50mm is to do with hanging weight ie tiles. 25x38 should be okay for slate but double check -

25mm lath for 600 centres. 19mm lath for 400 centres. Perhaps he's been on jobs with wrong thickness lath -

Who the hell is swinging and fitting ironmongery for 35 quid a door these days. That is some slave labour price fair play. -
Site accident causes visit to police station.
Oz07 replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
@LSBI got pulled over for the same thing on hard shoulder of M6 when a services was only a couple of mile ahead. I was insured on my own policy to drive vehicles third party but the eagle eyed copper spotted a woman wasn't driving which is why I was pulled over. I was disgusted at the time. Too many lazy police out there looking for the easy nick. They don't even respond to proper crime anymore but have got the time to analyse insurance policies and pull people over -
Dip an offcut of dritherm in a water butt or puddle. I've seen it sat in a puddle for days, lift it up and the water just repels off. Doesn't wick or soak up at all really.

Sticky Siberian Larch: any way round this?
Oz07 replied to ToughButterCup's topic in General Joinery
For internal? -
I got 1.19 on my air test tony with parge. I reckon both methods would be as good at sealing the blocks. Disadvantage with parge coat is if it cracks behind plasterboard stuck on you wont know whereas you can see and fill any cracks in proper plaster.

The green blue and red looks straight out of some government office or emergency services. Would be far too bold for my liking...I imagine some designs suit it though

Silicone spray. Sometimes makes it gum up more but the cutter or tool slides easier....Im not up to speed with the science https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwiO6tXmnenrAhXIgFAGHQ5GCHEYABAdGgJkZw&sig=AOD64_2KqP3ORzDwPjdEdv4-kF9RdXxrtQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwih9c7mnenrAhWSEMAKHdkLCz4Q9aACegUIDRDPAQ&adurl= -

Would we need any other heating source?

Think @PeterStarck just has a couple of electric towel rads for heating? -

I've got one now. I dunno I suppose they are but it's not anything life changing -
Never used the stuff

Id probably get change out of £2500 for an 'agila' type self compacting concrete at 14.5m3 Then you have to lay it, did your other price include placing? @Russell griffiths had a similar quandary recently but don't think he could get the concrete at the right money where he is?

Waste of time i'd of thought. If it gets as far as into the cavity you're knackered anyway

What is the daily rate for a roof slater?
Oz07 replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
roofers who can slate I know on 200 and upwards a day if not price work. I think roofing is one of those things a lot of general builders have a go at and think they can do but are crap. Make sure they're coming via recommendation -

Window Design & MVHR
Oz07 replied to Oz07's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
I still would (and do) have openers in the bathrooms. You'd regret it if the MVHR packed up and couldn't sort it for a few days. I just made the post because it didn't occur to me how much less I have them open. I open window to get fresh air but I don't need to. As above just cut the excessive amount down.
