Supposed to move the shed today but still not finished my second coffee ?
-
what happened to the giant pizza cutter? Finish that before you start another project ?

Just catching up again with this. Nokia 3410? I remember selling those in 2003(!) when I worked for a Telco ?. Sort of glad the browser frig is still working but at some stage you will surely need to attach the thing to an Apple ID so that you can update the things you use. No idea on the windows thing with email though.

You are just being pedantic you know what it means ?

That’s £1500 to dig a hole and put £450 of stuff in it. £80 of stones, £120 of polystyrene £250 of concrete just checking
-
Separately, local volumetric mixer has quoted £150 for the footings concrete (0.75-1m3) shows you the cost is all the ‘local’ Labour
-
Quoted £1500 to dig out, 100mm hardcore, 100mm insulation, 100mm concrete. If I want bricks for no thermal bridge that’s obviously extra £££

UFH in slab or screed, eps or pir insulation?
daiking replied to Tin Soldier's topic in Underfloor Heating
Are there any instances on here where a UFH set-up has not been adequate for a high thermal standard build? -
The idea is to get the slab the exact size for the cabin so it shouldn't have the problem of water pooling at the base timber and put a french drain around it so I'm not that worried about the base in contact with the slab. As someone who has never mixed concrete or mortar before I find it hard to believe that it will be easy to build approx 15m of very short wall completely level. Creating a level shuttering actually seems a lot easier.
-
burn it down... failing that replace it all... As a minimum I've had far better results where I've laid a decent board (9mm ply) over the floorboards before using a 14mm engineered wood floor covering.
-
We haven't fallen out but I don't think everyone is comfortable with the situation.
-
If there was an almost as good way to concrete without the wall I might look at managing it myself
-
The neighbours weren't quite so keen on the massive fence ? We're painting it dark grey
-
bought a cheap one and the fecking thing doesn't work properly. The bottom section of the tube doesn't securely fit so the little safety circuit keeps breaking and it cuts out unless you rest it on the ground to make the connection. going back to the fixer of screws tomorrow.
-
They’re not too bad although I would get a darker colour if I were you. Probably have to shampoo them every six months for a good clean and just a jet wash every month or so in the summer. I know what’s happened but it’s still incredible to actually see it before your very eyes.

Dirty. I think they're these https://vitripiazza.co.uk/anno/

In the end as this was a shared fence I think it’s more important we have a fence than a designer fence. It’s not a bad job they’ve done it’s just fence.

light coloured always look dirty. Don’t ask me how I know.
-
Where are you because I need footings for a garden room
-
It’s pretty grim and not even in a brutalist, has artistic merit, way.

That's why I thought it would give you a good comparison, before/after. At the end of the day though it's a kitchen sink.

Who knows but things are never cheap here - I bet the upmarket bit of the Midlands isn't the same as the normal bits. That's the problem here, a location premium. Not sure show these compare but: We've just paid £1150 to dig out 6 fence posts, put 7 or 8 tall ones back in with new 1' gravel boards and 12 new 5'6" panels. Took 2 guys about a day. £150 to level some ground for a 8x6 shed, laying 6 redundant gravel boards as a base (no sub-base) + chops a couple of small trees (5" holly and 3" laurel the biggest) £400 to dig out a fence post and 3 new ones with 2 new tall panels, trickier position. They stretched the other jobs over 2 days Realistically, its not doable by me on any sort of acceptable timeline.
