Pics always help .....

Hands down I'm a better cook than Mrs Mercury. But don't tell her I'll have a very short life expectancy!

For sure, I have no choice to use such services sometimes but IME their service is generally inferior, my local PO is undoubtedly the most reliable and easiest. And to suggest that PO's wont exist is just daft and ridiculous. But you are a bit of an angry and ill-informed chap so we must forgive...

I'm not so sure, people will be receiving & sending parcels forever and my local post office is always busy and thriving and I visit weekly. The main one in town however is staffed by zombies, is depressing, threatened with closure for years and not somewhere I choose to visit. Cutting keys is a...

I mean you're not building a new build house, so the regs can be toned down for extensions and works to existing buildings at the BCO's discretion.

Just cut up some card and write the contents on it and stick it in that slot at the front, the one that's designed to take a contents label.

In theory the grey box should be clear of any door swing, whichever way it swings. But see what your inspector says, they're (usually) pretty reasonable and have to take into consideration it's an existing building not a new build, also what was it like before? You don't need to make it any...

As deep as the foundation the SE will design? :p

What flameport doesn't know isn't worth knowing.

Probably fed up with a build taking years? How long's he been building it? I know of a few round here, one a two storey detached garage monstrosity that's been going for about 10 years and a mahoosive new build house that was started in about 2007, then halted in the 2008 crash, then it started...

You'll have to pay him to determine the strength of the lintel , why should he do it for free?

I doubt you'll get anywhere identifying it, you're talking about 40 years ago. Besides digital copies of lintel specs didn't really exist back then, certainly not for Joe Public it was all physical manuals so that data will have all been lost to time. The guys manning the tech helplines won't...

If going the Kingspan route I would fit the foil face facing inwards, then the breather membrane on the face of the insulation then your vertical battens.

He just wants to insulate his shed a bit woody he's not building a house.
