How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

Wrong forum for that kind of thing. Try Pistonheads or Landlordzone.

Tory party membership should do it

Leave house vacant for two years to qualify for 5% instead of 20%, simple.

How’s progress going?

pay builder with envelopes of cash ? always remember cycling across town with 5k in a backpack ... really felt alive

You don’t need to scrape the tar from the bottom, only from the tongue and grooves, you just have to use the right tar/glue to restick them. It melts in with the old tar. I’ll try to find the brand

Slab was poured Friday, roof will be finished on Monday then me, my brother and assorted builders lift the 140kg rooflight into place.

Bit slow going but we’re getting there. Gets better and better every day. Rear doors and glass blocks go in next week too 🤞

I’ve been machining some solid brass shower knobs and cleaning up the OG 1949 kitchen door handles to reuse.

They arent tongue and grooved but if you can find that product that would be great.

Get the company installing the heat pump to do underfloor heating system too as this all goes under the Gov scheme for 0%…. Apparently

That’s actually a good one

This stuff

mega, thanks

Got the 140kg rooflight on today with a little help from @cjr

What’s the vent next to it?

Beautiful!

May I ask what the specs of the exposed timber and flat roof build-up are?

We are looking to do something very similar with our ground floor extension, would be great to know the ins and outs as we're not using an architect...

Industrial roof fan that I'm repurposing as an extractor.

Neither are we! I've designed it, between me, building control and the builder we've worked out the spec.

GRP roof membrane
OSB
Firings
OSB
150mm PIR
18mm MR MDF
Joists

Works out to 0.15 W/m²K. You'll have to find a structural engineer to spec the joists based on span, spacing and load.

Quite happy with how the plaster finish is looking

I used one of those lifts to do similar. Scary moment when the bottom slid out a bit...

I'd want to check that it didn't throw cooking stuff all over your nice roof glass there.

Guess it will go through a hefty filter first.

Is the roof going to stay raw fiberglass?

Someone on eBay was selling individual fingers recently, I could probably find the link of you need it

Anyone know what these lights are?
