    Once you've bought the place then you can measure stuff and work a new staircase into the refurb, otherwise this is just a waste of time.

    Sliding Mitre saw PSMS210L

    Are you sure that's the right model number, absolutely nothing comes up on google. And if it's really ancient then you'll be out of luck anyway more than likely as the manual would never have been saved as a PDF. Or do you mean Black & Decker? even so nothing comes up for that model number either.

    Cladding top

    That gap should be open at the top/under the flashing you intend to fit, to allow moisture to escape ideally with an insect mesh.

    Cladding top

    You don't need something like that but that is an ideal and attractive solution. To use the product I linked to you would do something like this: It's a very standard epdm roof edge solution.

    Cladding top

    You could simply use something like this: https://www.rubber4roofs.co.uk/metal-edge-trim-rubber-roofing If you want belt and braces you could lap a bit of epdm (or whatever the exact system your using) over the join/screw heads.

    Reinforcing the base of divan bed drawers

    I might be inclined to use a bit of timber underneath, fixed at the front with an angle bracket and fixed at the back with either a couple of screws into the end grain. Or you could use an angle there too. Or you could fix screws in through the top if you don't care about seeing the screw heads...

    Door relocation objection by BCO

    But does your BCO know where the front door is? Do the drawings demonstrate to the BCO the windows from each first floor bedroom are escape windows? If we have to ask then so does the BCO.

    Door relocation objection by BCO

    You don't seem to have front door anymore. Is it from the new entrance hall? Your plans don't show it properly.

    I don't see why, no different to painting treated cladding.

    Timber frame extension 2nd storey with 1m of boundary.

    Or treat the cladding with a suitable fire retardant coating, though they need regular updating and BC have a tendency to resist such things, for obvious reasons. Or use Marley weatherboard cladding instead of timber. Your 'architect' should have thought of this already.

    Building on sand

    You can use Jablite Fillmaster of a suitable density if all you want is to fill a void, though it does act as insulation, assuming you can buy it in small quantities.

    Factory In China Building New Classic Car Complete Shells

    This has been going on a while, Mk1 Escorts, Classic Mini, Land rover, camper vans etc, I believe one of the issues that existed was when it comes to the DVLA, that the DVLA did not recognise the shell as a direct replacement so the car must be registered as a kit car. But I think that's been...
