Not enough info to say for sure. How many circuits are there? How far away from the CU is the incoming gas and water? How far away is the cooker point from CU? Who will be plastering up chases?

Matter of opinion. I've done loads of T+G floors and they are solid as a rock. Glued joints and glued to joists, no way it's ever going to squeak. Wouldn't catch me doing it your method in a month of sundays.

Each to their own

Looks like a hack off and re-render job to me.

Green - horizontal continuing what to the left. (grout lines matching) Red - personally I'd go for horizontal again with a mitred corner continuing across in front of the window. Wouldn't a better option be to window board the sill reveal?

I wouldn't use aerated blocks. You could use rock faced blocks but they look awful IMO compared to a nice brick.

Have you tried some WD40 on it?

What's done is done now, to ease your mind though, even if they did contain asbestos, you'd have to practically eat them to release any fibres.

Remember any soil pipework needs to be roddable.

Surely you budgeted a screed into your self build?

Never known of a tile adhesive that contains asbestos. What purpose would it serve? Looks like crappy ready mix rubbish to me.

Your supplier won't like that at all. It needs metering, you won't even use that much electric during construction.

http://www.snickersdirect.co.uk/snickers-trousers/snickers-workwear-holster-trousers/snickers-trousers-3212-duratwill-work-trousers I swear by these. Light enough not to sweat you bag off in summer and strong enough not to tear at every given opportunity. Comfortable too.

You will need to take about another 4 inch off what you already have. I'd be tempted tell you to get a digger driver in on a micro digger unless you fancy some long hard evenings. Typical build up will be 4 inch MOT type 1 (compacted) and then a sharp sand and cement mix as bedding material...

No. You need to pick up a feed from somewhere. Then either junction box or loop in method. If unsure get a spark in.

Are these box chasers ACTUALLY any good? What happens when you come across anything other than blockwork? Surely it'd just bounce off a decent brick.

Not exactly standard practice. Why not just remove the tiles and dab MR board on?

Where did you buy your tape from? Are you sure it is self adhesive? May just be a dud roll. Scrim isn't super sticky anyway, a flatten with a trowel after laying it on helps.

Square edge ply? Did u route a tongue and groove onto it? Butting square edges up is a recipe for squeaky floors. 22mm P5 T+G chipboard glued and screwed is the way to go.

No worries. Cheers for the reply!
