Pouring Concrete and Drinking Cava
Oz07 commented on dnb's blog entry in Building in a woodland on the Isle of Wight
Always look small in ground with any kind of strip found or ring beam. Slabs not so much -
You don't always need level threshold for building regs. Plot specific.

Wasn't it @Onoff who had a hidden one

Those airtight boards I looked into were pricey. What would you glad with?
-
Those saws are supposed to be the mutts nuts for patching
-
No way would that dumper loader pick up compacted or sticky material. Its more for loading stone, sand or gravel tipped loose

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?

A creditable attempt to pour all my money into a hole in the ground...

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

Following with interest

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.
-
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

Passive raft vs traditional (strip/trench) costs assesment

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 -
The mode ones weren't too dear I forget which online retailer sells them

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

Most expensive trade, you’ve had.

Bet it's not on day rate. Fair play -

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? -
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

I find the most expensive people are on a m2 rate or fixed price. Nobody really comes out with crazy day rates. -

Surely he doesn't climb for nothing. Bet its more of a lop it job -
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?

Yep done that a few times
