Hello

 

In the early stages of converting a former railway building into a house in the Yorkshire Dales. 

 

We will also have a SIP extension.

 

Trying to do as much as I can myself, but I'll pay some people to do some parts. Would love to be in for Christmas 2027, but no promises!

Hi, and welcome aboard!

 

Please post a new thread in the SIP's / timber frame section, and then I can ask you "why SIP's and not TF, or ICF".............

Thanks for the welcome. I don't have an answer to your question, so I may not! Was suggested by my architect and seems a simple system to have a structure built quickly that I can slowly finish.....

Post there, and we can get the information flowing  

 

I'd disagree with your architect.

look you’ve put yourself under unnecessary pressure now .

 

” love to be in for Christmas within the next decade “ . Keep it lite and non committing .

Good on ya.

 

10 years of DIY in and still enjoying it - mostly. Good for the soul, bad for the heart pacemaker. 

 

Ermmm, BTW , you haven't got a requirement for walk-on glazing have you by any chance? 😑

 

I'm asking for a friend you see. He got very upset (search on this site for 'walk on' or 'walk-on' or 'walkon') about his walk-on glazing and to cut a very long story short, well errrrm, it's reportedly still in his shed . Poor bloke. 

 

With a screename like yours, you aren't a tecchie by any chance? 

 

Anyway - welcome

I like an Indian. Pocahontas is buried in Gravesend, Kent.

Just say you want to be in by Christmas, but don't specify which one. Job done.

 

I agree with the SIPS comments by others. Do a bit of research in the relevant forum and you'll see some of the problems people have had with them.
