  1. No way would that dumper loader pick up compacted or sticky material. Its more for loading stone, sand or gravel tipped loose

    We have a leak

    Stay away from that circular reveal I remember the blog post! So do you have to repair your air tight membrane after or is a vcl different? How do you do it go mad with tape?
  3. Just look at the ground everywhere this wet weather is disgusting. At least it will only get better...

    Or at least the legal side if you have it

    Does house insurance not cover this?

    Maybe look up top first. Garden hose and someone inside on the phone although water can travel a lot. Its got to be around the junction of window and roof covering
  7. Following with interest
  8. Does to £40m2 inc beams or just insulation. Where is your dpm if no polythene. Also I meant steel mesh in concrete, do you need this? Thanks for the detail very interesting.
  9. Are you having a warranty? Is it right that nhbc make you have mesh in beam and block like this now? What's the u value? Did you find cheaper than standard b&b
  10. Does whatever your cladding the frame with have an impact too? Any kind of masonry don't you end up with a mini strip found around the outside sure one member had here
  11. The mode ones weren't too dear I forget which online retailer sells them
  12. Should be an 8" pipe not 6" but I like living on the edge. Insulation and stainless steel scouring pads as packing as per @Jeremy Harris advice
  13. Bet it's not on day rate. Fair play
  14. What kind of building trade quote a crazy hourly rate? I reckon 30quid he would be about top line in Midlands without being a super specialist. Whereas m2 blokes can earn 500 in a day on the right job. What's a tiler earnon a good day @nod?
  15. I've gone for a frameless full enclosure to 2 sides with pivot door. Less places for the gunk as @joe90 says but still keeps all the splash in. I've got a rainfall head and reckon you'd need 1500mm to avoid splash
  16. I find the most expensive people are on a m2 rate or fixed price. Nobody really comes out with crazy day rates.
  17. Surely he doesn't climb for nothing. Bet its more of a lop it job
  18. Has that skirting firred up yet next to shower @joe90? I found the mitres in my old place firring after being mopped near even though glued well. I used timber skirts in this place but even with knitting some have come through. Everything is crap now. How much better is MR mdf in real life?
  19. Yep done that a few times
  20. They always charge more for slip couplers than normal. It's a rip off
  21. Don't think you should be relying on grout regardless.
  22. Went halfs with my mate on on of those kind of lifters recently. Don't you find them flimsy? Might just be the way he put it together. I've defintley used better. What gun you using for the screws I got one of the dewalt ones good for the money.
  23. I'd try grano rather than conc. Like a benching mix
  24. @nod didn't have a basement like you. Just screw up into the blocks if you can't use any proprietary fixing strap/band
  25. No way will a surveyor ever notice 30mm. 300 maybe. Anyway I'm sure there's an indemnity for such situations
