  1. I read really good things about Armstead durable matt emulsion
  2. Na nothing to say you can't pave right upto the house crack on
  3. It's lasted 90 years think it will be okay
  4. I've done 18t in an afternoon by hand before
  5. What is the big concern with formaldehyde products I've never really took notice
  6. Would it be more cost effective to change to a bigger stone for 350mm ish or so with 150mm type 1 topping? Would the coverage per tonne increase so much that it is worth doing? As mentioned above I've used 6f2 before with type 1 topping under a road but with you needing virgin material 2"/3" clean could substitute the 6f2
  7. Are any of those ic's in a traffic area? I usually bed the bases on a semi dry conc mix.
  8. Just be aware if widening the cavity you need better ties and different lintels In reality I've seen 5" cavities with 4" ties and lintels but I wouldn't have it on one of mine
  9. I'm a chippy and I get told off by these rough arse wet trades for being to precise so you're in for a world of pain!
  10. Just google nulok BBA cert or something similar see what it throws up
  11. Your brickies will not be that accurate you're overthinking it. Just stretch the cavity width to max whatever your cavity lintels allow.
  12. Are they attic or fink trusses? If attic I'd go with crane
  13. Fill the concrete up to around the bottom of the gravel board. Had a guy dig the holes for mine the other week were works of art no more than 8" diameter circle
  14. I've got the osma level invert ones but restricted to max 600mm depth. I'd not worry about going into the side of a regular chamber providing you have sufficient and regular flow coming through the main level section behind the chamber. I've never had to go back to a system to deal with blockages from this so don't think its that much of a concern
  15. I know a plumber in the south earning 6 figures a year on new build work. That's roughly 400 a day. Then again guys up here earning less than 200. @Nickfromwales might know the rates better is he still about?
  16. That's good of him. I think most builder customers would have already told him that was happening. Force majeure!
  17. @LA3222 just did it diy might be worth checking thread out
  18. I have a small amount to do above some fitted wardrobes. I'm talking 2 vertical joints 300mm long max. I was planning to use the type of easi fill I already have with paper tape. Think I'll get away with it?
  19. Are they 2 different doors
  20. I would think mdf more stable internally than ply
  21. Yes that's what it was for cyclone strength winds I think
  22. With long enough boards you can do away with any joints on the non papered edge anyway. Just keep them to internal corners. @Russell griffiths in qld with your house did you have to leave all your internal partitions short of underside of trusses? I remember they used to get left a couple of inch short with brackets which allowed up and down movement but not sideways. This was 20 years ish ago but that's why everything had coving
  23. Resale would families with kids like them having access to ensuite maybe a comsideration
  24. Easier to just nog id of thought
