Hi,
This is my first post so I hope I am doing it right. Just doing my first self build and the outer brickwork finishes 8 feet lower than the apex of the gable end. The innerskin is SIP's panel and the idea is to fit 4 x 2 stud work onto the SIP panel followed by 3/4 ply. There would then be some decorative vertical boards with render in between.
I am looking for some advice on a few points -
Would I put some dpc up the bottom few inches of the SIP panel and onto the brickwork with weepers before I fix the lower 4 x 2 plate?
Once the studwork is fixed with the ply on top what would normally be fitted and what order eg some water-proof membrane over the ply, (roofing felt?), and then expanded metal for the render to adhere to?
And, finally, would I put this on before fixing the decorative wood boards or would I put boards on first and the other stuff between the boards?
I hope this is clear and thanks for any advice that might be forth coming.
John.
