dolly blocks exist for a reason. Replace the four courses of brick on the outer skin with two courses of cast concrete dolly and forget about the slabs. e. unless you have to have that course of brick showing for some planning reason

Failed Imagineer posted:Yeah my house is 1940s shuttered poured concrete, and the extension is Aircrete blocks (at least on the inside). Drilling holes in the extension is a piece of piss, but in the old house it needs the Big Drill, a few bits, water to cool off the red-hot bits, and creates a loving poo poo ton of dust Shuttered poured concrete makes me think you live in an underground bomb shelter

You know those road plates I suggested? You could dig a pit in the drive and fill it with vipers, drag road plates across it while you are there, cover with inconspicuous branches and leaves when you are not

I attended an emergency reinstatement in some poor residents house where the pressure in the sewage system had built up and during a storm (2018 iirc) and had blown back up through the toilet in the upstairs bathroom, continued to flow and flooded the downstairs in a foot of lovely piss water. I no longer deal with water/sewage, no amount of money is worth dealing with that carnage.

The short story is no, though it would have probably been cheaper to knock it down and start again. It has since been sold and is now a second home. I'm sure this wouldn't happen to njan though, far more likely his Tesla will combust

Grey Hunter posted:I wonder if they should make all architects build their own homes before signing them off. This is something we discuss at length after every visit from an architect. Landscape architects are the worst of the worst though, the biggest confusion is why they insist on planning everything from a sea level datum point (that almost always gets immediately run over by a fork lift after being installed) rather than something easy to work from like the finished floor of the existing building

If you wanted to cheap it you could hardwall render it yourself ready for the professionals to come and plaster over the top..but... They are going to use that as an excuse to do a poo poo job regardless of how perfect and plumb your walls are after the hardwall and it almost definitely will crack and you are going to be chasing and filling cracks for the next three years. Just suck it up and lose a couple inches in dot and dab

I'm not surprised they left at two. Double coating that in one hit would suck. Credit where credit is due, they seem to have done a pretty nice job.

knox_harrington posted:No they have a resistive electric heater as a backup which is obviously much less efficient. But you still get heating. I don't think mine has ever come on. Most air source can only heat water to between 45-55celsius so they are also fitted with a 3kw(sometimes 5kw) immersion heater to top it up if you require a higher temperature. Obviously during times that the heat pump is struggling to make temperature the immersion pulls more weight. Salisbury Snape fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Dec 23, 2023 |
