    If you dig down on the site of the buildings you will come across a black ash layer. I did an archaeological dig in Wareham and that was the one major find that we found! Also that all the houses are a standard width. It appears that the house width hasn't changed, in Wareham, since Anglo-Saxon times!

    hello I am French and I would like some information. you with plaster, but why not make the plaster plates with hard tape.

    • @stevepitts7998
      @stevepitts7998 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Anthony. I think the joints between the plaster boards were filled with jointing compound, rather than taped. Elsewhere in our property (35 years old) all the walls are dry-lined (plasterboard on timber stud walls) and these were taped. In numerous places, after only several years, the tape has split and the plaster skim peeled away leaving cracks in the joints . This could be poor materials or workmanship when the house was built. This has been such a problem that we have fixed new plaster boards to the rooms in four of the rooms and the hallway needs doing next. The joints in the new plaster boards have been filled with jointing compound and then sanded flat. No plaster skim on top, just sealed with unibond solution and then three coats of emulsion paint. The finish is way smoother and better than any plaster top coat. Hope this answers your question.

    Excellent job but that ridge line of the new dormer looks to be slightly higher than the existing Ridge line as it can clearly be seen from the front view. If so, then it wouldn't qualify for permitted development without planning permission which appears to be what has been carried out. Local council inspectors can certainly be that picky as I learnt with my own rear facing dormer with virtually the same additional height. You literally cannot be even 1mm higher on the dormer roof than the existing ridge line under permitted development.
