    Yes but you need to make sure that starting one build doesn't trigger the CIL having to be paid on all the other plots, and you not being able to claim exception for those plots.

    One thing I have come into a bit of issue with a multi plot permission is it was granted as a standard permission, not a phased development. I am going to be re-submitting as a phased development, so that I can build one plot and not be liable at that time for the CIL for all the other plots.

    It's a relief for us as my wife will get something, and we can last out on my 90% wage until June, so we are lucky in that respect. The problem is she is now in position, of does she try and keep her business going online and work really hard at that, or just jack it in wait for the payment and look after the kids home schooling.

    Thanks, i didn't know that. I drained it last night and put a load of PTFE on the tail thread, and this morning there isn't any puddle under the rad.

    I had old decking that had been treated over and over and got slippy when wet. I pressure washed it back to the wood, then used decking oil. Though it does need to be re application twice a year.

    Thanks for the replies, good to know it's not on the wrong side. Looks like I will need to drain the rad and put more PTFE on it. @JFDIY I will look at that product in the future.

    I have just fitted a new radiator, and put new valves on it. There were two connection pipes from the valve to the radiator, one had a square nut, and the other had a 6 sided nut. Are these supposed to go on a particular way/side? I say this as one end of the radiator is weeping, I have put the square connector on the outlet. But now looking at all the other radiators in the house, the square connector is on the inlet. Have I got them the wrong way round?

    I may want to get some boreholes and ground investigation works done on my site. The site has planning, and pre commencement conditions have not been discharged yet. Would ground investigation works be considered commencement? I will probably clear it with the case officer first but want to see if it's generally a yes or no.

    No unit in yet (I need to build it), but the rest is pretty much there.
  11. Moonshine
    Can you buy the replacement motor (assuming that is faulty) for the head unit? not trying to be a smart arse, just trying to save you the job of having to drain down the system / plumb and wire it in.
  12. Moonshine
    surely you can take the head unit off, rather than having to drain down the whole system!
  13. Moonshine
    looks like he is doing / has done it all, @BotusBuild FYI you can just change the head unit, or even just the motor

    Slightly off topic but are you putting ferrings in to get the 1:80 fall?

    I am in a bit of a soft self isolation, basically kids had a short fever at the weekend (all clear now) and they were off school from yesterday (will be for 7 - 14 days). I have been working from home to look after them. If I go full self isolation then that means working from home with kids which is going to be a struggle. My wife is self employed and looks like her business and income is going to stop completely next week! ? I work in a serviced office by myself and walk to work, and have very limited contact with anyone really so I am half thinking of keep going to my office and self isolate there. If you are self employed / sole trader that can't work from home, you are stuffed.

    Tbh, there is so many unknowns I think it would be best to take stock a delay until things settle down a bit.

    I ended up doing as you mentioned

    @pocster i hope that door system isn't a stand alone unit, and the security isn't as flimsy as below!

    yes it was with a specific product, i just covered the name of the manufacturer up just in case there was any issue in me posting it up. I think that i need to get a copy of BS 6229 and read the bit about condensation (if i can get a copy of it)
  21. Moonshine
    That is a bit over my head, if its not too much to ask, could you break it down of what the extreme external condition of BS 6229 is, and what the internal humidity class may need to be upped to? this is so i can back to them? btw Its a 5-6 person house. Thanks
  22. Moonshine
    Calculations from a PIR manufacturer of 150mm PIR, indicates no condensation and U value of 0.11

    Cheers, i was thinking something up to 24 kg/m3, so something like 100mm rockwool roll, density 22 kg/m3, which has a thermal conductivity of 0.044 W/mK, i have sent off to a few manufacturers to see what their thoughts are.

    wouldn't this need to puncture the container. How about unistrut bolted to breeze blocks at certain intervals (to make a rectangle frame, then ratchet strap the unistrut to the for corners of the container. Fix panels to strapped down unistrut.
