Easier to just nog id of thought

Papered edges stronger than cut edges that's why perpendicular. I always normally nog if 12.5mm boards so every edge has solid backing. Last job I used 600mm centres with 15mm plasterboard and no noggins. Unsupported long edges. Was ok but think I still prefer 12.5mm on nogs

Oz07 replied to Andrew's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
I'd concentrate on anything that will hold your scaffold up first. All roofing materials. Can be stored on site. -
Just fly it over. All i've ever done. Perhaps a whack with a hammer with a lump of timber between if it is excessively proud but the timber to timber hangers aren't usually overly thick.

How deep is that reveal?!

Can you still achieve the u values with 50mm insulation of is it different with is being above a basement? Looks good

If your plumbing is off a manifold and you put an isolation valve before the appliance what does achieve?

Yeh you're not passing thru wall crack on

65kg ea! You need to eat your spinach I'd guess half that for 2ft slabs

That had conc lintels on each leaf above. It's a bad photo to put up really in terms of brickwork!

Want me to send your worrying head into overdrive @AnonymousBosch ? Have you allowed for any differential settlement. This is in a 150mm pipe but by regs should be 200mm. 50mm all around if going thru a wall. What's your foundation detail?

DIY-Kitchens - The Alternative View (And its FAR from positive)
Oz07 replied to Barney12's topic in Kitchen Units & Worktops
Had similar problems myself @Barney12 didn't find the quality to be bad but their qc is lacking and a couple of missing bits. Took around 6 months to resolve. One of my problems was a base decor end only painted properly one side. Guess where you see the poorly painted bit. When I raised this the girl had the cheek to suggest they were the only company who routinely finished both sides and questioned why the back needed to be painted. Idiots. This time I went with a local supplier. Good gear at good price. I always used to use howdens but find their pricing has gone crazy in recent years. They can't compete Any more. Keep offering to match my lower prices after quoting 25% higher to begin with -
Not seen it here in any kind of quantity. The special moulding racks at the merchants with the intricate mouldings are done like this, also the door stops in the door linings I recently put in were like this. Never seen skirting or arc done like that here just pine

@oranjeboom I initially thought the same, but is it really that crucial you get some trim on? I'm going to wait it out

I had a local price of 1.20ish per m on 4" 18mm and 80 something p on 57mm x 18mm arc Delivery got let down before the lock down but they are hoping to deliver around 20/4 Online prices are stupid as you see @oranjeboom I'm not that desperate to get a bit of trim on that I'll overpay by stupid amounts even if it is relatively small cost of the job

Clay drainage doesn't need bedding. Your trenching has to be good -
I think there is a rule for that too. I upgraded some sash windows with slim line units for some elderly customers a couple of years ago I did look into reduced rate but didn't qualify for whatever reason.
