@Auchlossen how did you get on with your garage door selection. I'm just starting the same process

I brought these a couple of weeks ago, do the job nicely http://www.screwfix.com/p/ae0295-rechargeable-led-work-light-23w-12-240v/7042k?_requestid=20244

(can't get BuildHub to accept more text after a comment so another posting) Turns out the house designer does not want to be the Principal Designer so that's going to fall on me too now!

There's very little detail like that available. Wait and see.

Selling as decided to get full system from BPC Ventilation so I could be sure of having a 'designed' system to show to BC

500 working days did not seem many, assuming 200 working days per person per year. So hence notifiable i believe. The ex-main (and ex-principle) contractor submitted the initial F10 so after a change of roles it has been transferred to me.

4 styles Longer life than house Currently 2℅ less efficient Looking good! https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/28/these-are-teslas-stunning-new-solar-roof-tiles-for-homes/

Mine is waiting for eBay, as decided in the end to get a newer unit from BPC instead. Any one after a (very) Mvhr unit?

Not being a builder, I don't know what a builders strap is, however a quick Google suggests: http://www.screwfix.com/p/sabrefix-builders-band-galvanised-dx275-20mm-x-9-6m/38619?kpid=38619 which looks ideal, thanks for the pointer very useful, cheers!

I need to secure these MVHR pipes vertically to the wall behind them. How best to do that? (A question for @bpc ventilation and anyone else) Thanks

@PeterW I think I understand but the quick sketch would still be useful if poss. Thanks

Thanks @Declan52 all good advice. However I was not clear in my question what I was looking for is tips on how to fullfil the role LEGALLY with out going over board

So all of a sudden today I became the principal contractor (as well as the client) with my name in both sections of the F10 Following on from the advice in BuildHub.org CDM F10 I've so far organized: * to get the Construction Phase plan from the old main contractor * SelfBuild insurance (from Aviva) * my partner (a ex-IT Project Manager) to help with the project management I was wondering if anyone had any top tips to share on what to do to full fill the Self Builder Principal Contractor role legally ( to satisfy H&S) without going overboard.

Here's the only writing I can find on an unused board, so yep appears to be Egger E1 P5. Thanks for comments will 'discuss'.

I finally got my temp windows in last weekend (the sag picture was taken a bit before). Internorm coming to site Monday :-) Two (and just two of the boards) have a hard grey coating, will go to site and have a proper look

Been a lot of rain and no windows yet. Floor was laid by main contractor maybe 4 months ago way before roof was put up. I believe it is waterproof chipboard, brand unknown

Is this sag in the chipboard first floor covering anything to be concerned about? Will be under carpet eventually Thanks Paul

I asked them that exact question last week! Waiting to hear, will let you know

Ta for the initial part of the investigation @Alphonsox

So minimal but not zero. Still not keen. Mighty have to look for a clockwork toothbrush

I'm very reluctant to have anything running 24*7 but partner already moaning about having to charge her toothbrush outside of the bathroom in the holiday cottage we are currently renting while the new place is built. Question: does a shaver/toothbrush socket when not in use consume power?

Thanks just read CDM 2015 part 4. I can foreseen someone cutting themselves on site, therefore the implication is I need to provide basic first aid kit on site somewhere. Correct? Is this happening in practice? Fire fighting: am I expected to provide a fire extinguisher?

A3 Laminator, only done 10 A3 plan laminates so far, seemed to worked fine.

Does the CDM F10 'Notification of construction project' apply to a self builder who is project managing?
