I dont have a cscs card & dont want one either, so the colour & its attendant bragging rights are a mystery to me. Also I find it a little harsh that career changers are treated with such derision. I've worked with jumped up hoddies who could hold their own with time served brickies. I've also...

You'll have to wait--buhehehe :lol:

About what I'd say freddy (sorry to hear about your brother by the way), but there must be an area effect, also a premium for specification. this isn't a particularly involved job, but the roof does add slightly to the equation. Has anyone noticed a downturn in pricing given the present...

Hi all, Just given a price for an extension locally (Lincs, back of beyond) 3 sided comes out 3.5 mts x 4mts in commons , later painted not by me, Fibolite block, hip roof with Rosemary tiles. Couple of sockets, one light, heating done by client. No drainage required, and fairly simple...

Just picked up on this thread, it seems to be at least 2 months & the client has not yet issued proceedings. If this is correct, then it must be encouraging. I would have no further contact other than basically say sue & be damned, then the ball is firmly in her court . This being the case, the...

I think you have an optimistic view of your banks lending policy. Believe me, they all have easy & comprehensive access to our credit score & a CCJ is a good -100 start from any lender. Doesn't mean to say that they won't lend, just that the terms & conditions won't be favourable. Further to...

Don't know whether to say well done Rico or WTF were you thinking of? why'd you get as far as a CCJ? Your obviously not looking for any serious finance in the near future :shock: I can't comment on the logic of credit card companies or their apparent largesse. It probably serves them right...

It is extremely unlikely that any judge would agree to a derisory repayment agreement. The sum will be fixed in the court at the time of the case. If there are extenuating circumstances claimed, then an "Order for Questions" may be requested & enforced. This means that the defendant will be...

If the party doesn't pay a judgement within the time dictated eg the first payment is due in 2 weeks & is missed, then the whole amount is due immediately. To effect this you go to the court, or down load & fill in an N323 form, that is a "Request for Warrant of Execution" . This costs about...

Give the man 14 days to pay then go to this site :-https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp & sue his arse! Keep all paperwork & correspondence to support your claim. Contrary to popular views, if you win the judge may award the money right away with all costs. He may ask for time to pay...

Wasn't there a few changes made re windows etc not long ago though?

When exactly then are the new regs in force? Reading the docs online give a vague at best guide. Anyhow as I mentioned earlier, the regs are just a part of the whole, if you've done a new build in recent years, you'll understand that the hoops required to jump through are ever increasing...

I wasn't that far from starting, plot bought stc, hopefully starting by June. However, having weighed all the pros & cons, not only my reservations regarding the new builder bashing regs, but the current market in the area. Also the impending election & the possibility of a rate rise which would...

a tub of vaseline which is also well known for..

See what you mean now Nick, it's basically another version of SIPS then? If so is it as costly? As per thermal design jeds, wouldn't that all be covered in the architects sap rating? (this is my 100th post, so round of applause?)

As the job I'm concerned with will have no upper floor, then is there any viable use of this system? I'm aiming at a standard brick/block, concrete floor, trussed roof build with all the required insulation. If the answer aint simple then it's beyond me :)

The problem with that page is the overwhelming substance of it all! I don't see how masonite type material would help in the build of a bungalow, isn't this just a different but same thing as glulam?

I'd be a joiner or plasterer or sparks or plumber. Then I would be able to work on a nice ready made building instead of a wet cold green field site creating something from nothing & not have to endure whingeing joiners saying "its 10mm out of square" on a 200 sq mts build or other...

Hi all, Am starting a new "spec" build soon , 3 bed bungalow. I have heard that in the not too distant future, incoming regs will render internal block skins a difficult option. Questions are :- Any truth in the rumour? Is there a viable alternative? & would Fitting a couple of solar panels...

Basically I just made it up in the back yard in kit form & then put it together in situ. The uprights & diagonals were just "cut in" to the top & bottom plates with the diagonals tight against the uprights. I really don't remember if or how they were fixed, the cutting in & ply would do that...
