They are introducing a 3 month notice period for us later in the year. I need to move before that happens!

Notice period is unenforceable, leave when you like unless you're planning on going back.

Indeed it is but in my industry word travels fast!!
 
Morning All :D
Cool & a bit overcast here today.
End of my second week with house guests and no-one's dead (yet).
The steel should arrive today and go in pretty smartish, then the false chimney can come down.
Boiler gets fitted this weekend, plasterboarding of the ceiling is next week and the plasterers start on Thursday.
Floor screed needs doing to gently take the level difference out of the floors. Then the underfloor heating gets laid (I wish I was getting laid).;)
I might get my house back before August is over.:)
You all have a great day. :D
 
Happy Friday folks:)
Think I have worked hard enough to earn my petrolhead Sunday, apparently MM is going to be there to ride If he can with a fractured humerus ( it’s wasn’t funny watching him pitch himself down the road last week).

Anyway I will make sure of the brownie points by working tomorrow too:D.

Been a nice sunny week and more forecast so good for the exercising in the pool.
Last night after tea watching the news with the doors wide open and we had 2 visitors (separate occasions)
How can they be smart enough to fly yet can’t find the door they came in to get back out after the have nosed around our lounge, anyway after they tired themselves out bashing against closed windows I got them and evicted them back out to their space:D

Anyway off too get back at it (on coffee break) enjoy the last few hours before the weekend folks and then enjoy it:D

Sounds like it maybe a bit more than the first 3 week estimate (think that’s what you guessed)
But does sound like the boys are getting a move on, so at least they are putting in the effort which is good.:)

Underfloor heating electric or water?
It’s a different heat and takes some getting used to, but we love ours:) (Water)
Electric might get a bit expensive for a big room though, some say it will only warm the floor and not the room.

The heating they are putting in for all of the open-plan ground floor will be underfloor water-loops with the water heated by a gas-fired Combi-boiler.
Allegedly it WILL heat the room and NOT just the floor and their feet. The water coils are set into dense polystyrene forms and the laminate/clic-loc flooring goes straight over the top of that.
They are doing it to remove all radiators from sight downstairs and keep clean lines.
This is the first of the 2 steel beams going in. Scary as Fcuk!

Is that your shed builder:)? Was expecting a bigger beam, but I didn’t do the calcs.

Ok so they are going for instant heat like a rad but spread. Ours is on 50mm insulation embedded in 75mm screed so acts a bit like a storage heater, (so getting it under control/used to it can take a while).
We like it when peeps come and say “you have no rads” and “ why is the bed warm” so totally agree on the clean lines.
I would question the room available at the patio door for any rise in floor level? Sure they gonna replace with new UPVC so won’t matter. But watch out if you are 6ft tall:eek:

I wish them a speedy renovation for them and you:eek:

Honestly, the 2 identical beams are so "OTT" it is just untrue, the structural guys have just done an "ar$e-covering" job.
That is a 8mm thick steel web in each I-Beam and it is about 30cm high.
My steels in my extension were a 4M span and are 1/2 that size and have a bigger wall above and a pitched gabled roof on top.
Passed by Building Control & regs etc. and have been there 30 years with no issues. This is just ludicrous (IMHO). I think they had some decimal points in the wrong places. ;-) Every calculation seems to have x2 on the dynamic loads (in a domestic property???).
But this is my son's journey, not mine. :)
