Go buy ye sen a big bottle of kop on Chuck, If you can not laugh at yourself then you need a serious reality check my man, there is fun and offense, if you do not have the nounce to appreciate the difference then I feel sorry for you. Just look at half the the brain dead slack jawed gombeens...

Cant beat a spot of sectarian football thugery...put them all in a park and let em all beat the ****e out of one another...then dig their own graves.

Have always been very suspicious of this type of multi foil type stuff, seemed that highly contentious claims were made as to its R or U values and many of the products did not have Irish acreditation or British kitemarks, which meant only one thing to me they did not do what it said on the tin...

Buy a hot air balloon for purposes of accessing said chimney

I havent used a bell cast bead in Donkeys years. The 2x1 lath method is far and away better. Scratch coat the whole wall from top to bottom dropping a nail lightly into the dpc course so that you know its position. Using 70mm steel (masonary nails) tack up the 2x1 till you have a good hold...

Its pretty much the standard route to render the cheeks of Dormersas has been done previously, Yours has perished to the extent that it is allowing moisture to penetrate internally. If the ply is still sound leave in place Sheath the Dormer cheeks in ordinary blizzard felt using staples and...

Chase a line across with a bolster at designated height better still an angle grinder if the room is clear so as not to disturb the plaster above the working area. If you can get a decent heavy duty drill with a chisel stop function this will beat the labour intensive hammer and bolster or even...

The cold bridging of the timber stud is not the factor that causes interstitial condensation and to claim the density of the board has any bearing is nonsense. I could explain why but I cant be bothered.

Ahh Reg I did not realise you were the next door neighbour who pops around to dip celotex T break in Stevies Coa Coa. I did not see the constitution of the wall elevations described by Steve so how is it you can assertain that interstitial condensation would be problematic. ? Only certain...

Would wholly agree with above. Standard block laid flat has a U value of 0.57 Insulated cavity (phenolic foam) Uvalue 0.37 Spend the extra on higher spec glazing. Standard today is argon filled low e 0.2 hard coat u value 2.1 Ask for low e 0.05 soft coat u value 1.7

Celotex T - break sounds like something you would dip in your tea. Why is there a constaint of adding a single more inch to the wall out of curiosity when the U value of 50mm Therma board (Celotex or Kingspan) would clearly be fit for purpose.....Why spoil the ship for an apeth of tar ?

Hello Gentlemen, nice to see some familiar names :D Still doing a bit noseall, though have diversified a little of late...fingers in a few different pies and all that. Hows ya good self these days ? This place needs livening up........ No one ever apologised way back when ! very cissy like...

So you declined to offer up the images from your work after declaring yourself a genius. Roughcaster says there were glaring piecings, you say it is a errrr photographic glitch. So lets see the original photo Iwill tell you in an instant if you are what you claim to be or as I suspect all p**s...

Are you in the UK or Ireland?

Feckin ell noseall did you swallow a dictionary at work today? :lol:

Try a shovel or a grafter...seriously!

Ayup J.B did you read that "WATERPROOFER" in the top coat eh !!! shock horror. Time for you to go into one me thinks. I see plenty of one coat rendering, all that about control of suction bla bla bla is blowing hot air, if you prep correctly you can get away with one coat rendering albeit only...

Yeah well you earn too much noseall, :D us poor paddies have to work six days a week to feed our scatter of kids :cry:

Do it with a bucket of stiffish bonding, add three good large gaugeing trowells of hydrated lime to the mix, dubb it out firstly then lay it over to get the curve, will trowell up within half an hour and be skimmable after an hour, because of the lime reacting with the bonding. Gives no problems...

Any new type rigid insulation that meets current regs would surfice, by this I mean not to skimp by using rockwool type or polystyrene type in batts form but rather Kingspan foilbacked, better again than Kingspan would be to build with a 100mm cavity and go for full blown in insulation in...
