Remember to put in some external sockets, especially handy at christmas. Get the ones with the on/off switches, some don't have them which is silly since you have to pull out the darn plug.

I haven't cataracts but I need variofocal glasses with a serious script. I love decent lighting, and really want to plan it into our build. Daughter got me a military grade torch for christmas. Love it!

The amount of wee tips I am gathering from here. It's really good. Joe90 said 'I specified parliament hinges to our outward opening doors on the conservatory so they could open 180’ past the cills and be clipped open in summer.' 1'

I wonder how mechanical ventilation works with granite worktops and fireplaces?

Problem with granite is it sets off a Geiger counter.

Hello, we hope to be demolishing in March and I am concerned that birds nest every year in feb in chimneys. Is there a way I can put them off without going on roof? I have a chimney sweep brush that goes on rods, if i leave it up would that work?

Thanks for the replies. ?Well my head is already deeved with my husbands snoring so that's a definite no go then.

Hiya, I was watching a programme on you tube and saw the householders use an industrial roofing, large panels topped with tin on top of polystyrene . It went on fast and was cheap. No idea how insulating it is...

Got it!!! Thanks so much joe90 and pro Dave. One very relieved 84 year old in the house. Just going to get trap back in and gently put pedestal back.

I can wriggle it , it doesnt took screwed down, if I got it out of the way I could get at the trap

Thanks I wonder if I could remove trap without having to take off everything else?

An elderly relative has been visiting and somewhat embarrassed has told me they lifted the little drain cover out of the sink and dropped their teeth down! It was a small run of a few teeth. I need to get into the drain. How?c Do I need to remove it all? I have plumbing tools.

Is the function of a skirting board also to take the knocks? If you don't have one, after a year does it not look....scuffy?

Just been watching a programme in which the suggest using long pendant lights in a corner and avoiding spots everywhere.

Yikes, think they might be rather mad at me for that and I would be thrown off the course before the big day in April.! I can however give an outline of it and stuff they point you to that are available. To be frank the first thing is I got an understanding of the procedure that is followed by for example the architects. You all probably know it but this for example... file:///C:/Users/pc/Downloads/2020RIBAPlanofWorktemplatepdf.pdf Just in from work so haven't seen past the three hours yet but so far it's gone over.. Procurement options Building Regs Cost Control Designer’s role and responsibility

I am 3 hours in to the 7 ish hour course, it's been well worth it for what I have already gleaned - admittedly because I am totally green about all of it. 85 reduced to 68 I think until tomorrow (Tues) with the promo code.

Might do online version but thinking it's probably covered here at more depth. Anyone done it? https://www.nsbrc.co.uk/whats-on/our-courses/the-project-management-course/

Which company? Will do same .

Hey @Kingostar, your site looks stunning. Planning here can take a while. I suspect we may be running on the same time frame for our builds. @Iceverge you said you wouldn't do a cement floor again, why is that?

patp you both sound amazing. Good on ye. As long as you know the charities are there for you emotionally if you need it. I really wish you the best.

Yay, stunned one thing may not cost an arm and a leg. Thanks.?

Any thoughts? The wires, I see three....they dissect the site. I wonder could they be buried? Also there are three wires going from poles on street front to back. Front one takes 2 wires to cottage. I fancy 3 phase.
