Ruth Barrstt Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hi All We are building a SIP house on Easdale Island in Argyll. The house is being handed over at the basic wind & watertight stage after which it's down to us. My partner does not keep well so most of the work is down to me to research, organise, order and execute! I'm one of those people who, even if I'm not actually doing a task, needs to understand how it's done and why. I'm a bit of a novice (renovated before but not built) so please bear with me if I ask really basic questions! Reading through topics on here is helpful. Thanks in advance Ruth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in the right place: that is the attitude of most on here. Welcome. Get these questions coming in, but also look back using the search function. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows who is reading this, and you might want to discuss builders/suppliers/consultants and, dare I say, local authority? I don't give my name and the location is vague: enough to provide context but not where it is. I'm sure it would not take much detective work to find more, but it avoids chance discovery on google. So if I was you I would start again as 'made-up-name' , Argyll. But that is entirely up to you, and others may disagree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m Pocster because my real name “ massive twang “ would cause issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
