Smurfer Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Doing my 'Grand Designs' moment on a property in Llantwit Major in S.Wales - a full refurb of an existing dwelling and a sizeable extension. Very much a fabric first approach, aiming to get close to Passiv principles. Most of the construction side has been completed, we're now in 1st fix stage, but there's load of niggly bits I need advice on, and that's why I'm here! Gonna ask about modifying structural joists first.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
