I thought they were doing away wth phone lines?

got them laminated locally for speed. It worked for a while but the rain and rough and tumble of the site left them peeling. Still glad though.

bumping in the hope someone knows

What do you wrap around them re thermal bridging?

Whats this? https://www.johnpyeauctions.co.uk/Event/LotDetails/96981372/PLASTIC-DUCTING-SYSTEM-WITH-EXTENDABLE-HOSES-AND-TUBING Ok will stop now but is this stuff any good? We were recommended a vent axia high flow R/H with quiet vent premium radial ducting kit. I think its lines with antibacterial stuff. Kinda tempted by this if it were useful since its not too far away.

I was recommended vent axia through bpc...hmmm https://www.johnpyeauctions.co.uk/Event/LotDetails/97677119/2-X-MIXED-BOXES-OF-ASSORTED-ITEMS-TO-INCLUDE-VENTAXIA-SVARA-APP-CONTROLLED-BATHROOM-AND-KITCHEN-FAN-BLOCK-A-COLLECTION-OR-OPTIONAL-DELIVERY-AVAILABLE

Your wife is right.

Many many moons ago dad had me at a toilet factory in Stratford. I recall the guy who was making them explain to me how they were graded. It was all to do with how smooth they were, explaining how the bumps caught the faeces. He also said something about the glaze, the hotel loos - best quality had an extra coat. The man said don't skimp on your toilet bowl because you will pay for it in years of cleaning. I asked a retail bathroom salesman about this and he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Also, this water conservation stuff - do the water saving toilets work? Do they clear the jobbies?

Fabulous, well done. That is so inspiring.

No problem yet and now you have explained it so well I will ensure there won't be if we go with it. The yikes was the thought of going wrong. Much appreciated.

So the other half is away to put the radon barrier on the bidons that were delivered yesterday. After building control checks on Monday afternoon, we will get a lorry load of 9x4's and I have been told to drop them on the slab for the main build to kick off. Thing is, I don't want the radon barrier to tear with the work going on. I was thinking of using old carpet to help protect it. Whatcha think?

Yikes,what should it be cut with to avoid rust?

Thought about that but we are getting told we can't get integrated solar with trocal. They only want to do it with slates or tiles around it.

with inflation I reckon they could redo the programme with 200 or 300k. I loved it for the way they saved money and challenged the conventional using industrial etc. Anyway, thinking about our roof, the architect originally drew it with zinc but he has another client that used corrugated steel. We have been hugely fortunate having him, he has been very- decent. We have thought about going with a variety of things from trocal to slates or tiles but that would change the whole appearance too much. Has anyone else used corrugated steel? Thinking of the show 'the house that 100k built' what did you like about it, what did you see done that you think - that's good? I bring it up when people who pass the site say 'it's like Grand Design' because it so isn't. My husband once in exasperation said I liked 'culchie industrial aesthetic' which still cracks me up. We are obviously trying to find a happy medium.

A scaffolder who has been using it with the new boards will be erecting it, doing the uplifts and weekly ticket.

It's on a farm so can get it into lorry OK but getting it out is my issue. What about a grab lorry?

Bl**dy hell. Thank you.

Any update?

We might yet go slate, any brand to look out for?

Getting some quotes of a renewables guy and he said a company called Fisher do them? He raved about them.

Hi, we are swapping from a standing seam roof because the budget is under pressure. I have been told to use tile and that good ones don't discolour. That slate is WAY more expensive and you need nearly twice as many. If thats the case, what tiles do you recommend? Then I can chase down the best price.

Conor, have you any recommendation for MVHR design, supply and fit in NI ? Can you get parts ok?

Did you have any beams to go through? Where did you get the design? Are parts reasonable?
