  1. So i can lay the cable in the trench without any ducting then. My plan was always a 100mm sand bed, cable, 200mm back fill then the 'cable under' tape.
  2. The Kiosk that i am fitting out by the entrance to the plot is 20 metres from the house. I am not a sparky and am struggling to understand what cable is acceptable for a 100Amp (23KVA) supply from the kiosk to the consumer unit indoors. The meter will stay out in the Kiosk. Partly because the DNO price to move it later is eye watering. Not only confused by what cable but whether i can install it in the 32mm Consuit sunk 450mm under the lawn. Any details gratefully received as always keith
  3. Not airtightness actually, although that would be a concern of course. No, the issue as i have learned is that if moisture can linger in this gap then rot can set in.
  4. I think i know the answer to this question but i dont want to chase ever decreasing gains if the risk is miniscule. So, a gap where you can see daylight is presumably in need of insulating, see picture. What about a gap of 2mm. Our kicker blocks have the Grey DPC and then sole plate on that, nothing unusual there. So there is potential for a gap both under and on top of the DPC.
  5. Kingspan ultima SIPs construction. Our frame erectors are almost finished after only 3 weeks. The membranes, numerous, are being unfolded and stapled. The basic airtightness will come from the SIPs panel but i wonder if what you can see in the picture also needs to be taped along the edges.
  6. I downloaded this today. Does it give you what you need? Look at bottom left corner. Its Survey GPS Cam from the app store.
  7. A tedious way to do it would be to edit the watermark text. So you could insert the relevant data from the Exif meta data. As i say, tedious but might get you out of a fix for now.
  8. Android or those other things, Apple ? I was wondering exactly the same for my Part L. Your post encouraged me to find out. I have an Android 4 years old A41, so not particularly new. Camera Settings, gear icon Location tags - On Watermark - on Now when i take a picture and check in gallery i can see all everything that is required for the evidence to satisfy Part L
  9. Apart from not understanding why i am responsible for taking photographs to prove the compliance to part L when i have bought a TF package from a very large supplier. Does anyone have practical experience they will share on the level of detail that satisfies the requirement please ?
  10. Agree, shipping container if you have the room. We rent one for our house contents while we are in rented for a year. £160/month for what looks like a brand new container. No condensation issues through last winter. Buying them to place onsite is not expensive. Qube containers Call us today 03301 229943
  11. Of course Nick. I'd hoped that there was already a body of knowledge within the walls of this forum that i was going to be able to Tap into.
  12. 90mm in my case but i'd have thought comparing the same size across brands would have been self explanatory.
  13. What is VL please? Ok i just read the website, understand now.
  14. Thanks Stu I think i will probably go for the Hardie then, the price difference is significant.
  15. I have had a quote for both of these brands of weatherboarding. Have always thought that i was going to use Cedral but the Hardie is quite a bit cheaper and to be honest i cannot see a difference. Does anyone have experience of either of them to know whether one is inferior to the other or any other reason why you would not go for the Hardie cladding? Thanks keith
