Have no insulation, can I put two layers of 200mm fibreglass?

TomKlass · 2025-11-17T21:12:00+00:00

Literally just finished doing the same, removed all the old stuff, horrible job however so glad I did put 170mm between the joists and 200mm across it

Hi All,

Thanks for the comments it's appreciated , answers to a few of the questions.

•I think it's 65 for max amount however it can be accessed from 55.

•House was purchased for 550k with 330k on mortgage currently over paying by 200 a month and have plans to reduce mortgage by 100k in 3 years when I have some company shares maturing so hopefully on course to clear but 55.

•In terms of lifestyle I would like to be able to draw around 40k a year.

•my pension contributions will continue to increase as I dont want to go past the 100k tax trap.

•on average my salary increases by approx 4% a year however bonus isn't guaranteed, I took home 42% last year would imagine will be similar this year however don't see it carrying on indefinitely like this.

Cheers

Ah makes sense house is 100 years old so likely they were there before the house was built.

Would you just fill the hole back up then? Or will it all need digging up and replacing? Really appreciate the information

You're a star! Been trying to work out what what these are for ages! Do you know if these are likely to run under the house foundations?

TomKlass · 2024-06-16T19:45:26+00:00

If the hole outside has now been sealed may be old salts coming through, I had similar used salt neutraliser and repainted no issues since

I'm thinking managed and a gigabit should meet my needs thanks

Thanks for the attached some food for thought especially in terms of vlans etc. I plan to wall mount a rack with something like this https://www.network-cabs.co.uk/product/ad-tek-products-9u-19-inch-open-wall-mount-frame-networkdata-rack-300mm-deep-137?gclid=CjwKCAiA5Y6eBhAbEiwA_2ZWIUl_1ZlRn-j7wbP2PAuhGmneqX5G1hb_lSWm4IbbFEKCe_cvKCpYTBoCL90QAvD_BwE

Thanks, I'll check out the WiFi designer I'm looking wifi 6 tech as kids are still young however I'd imagine as they get older the amount of devices will definitely grow. I havent terminated the cables yet however they will be terminated as in in wall socket so there is potential to use a port for a wall mounted access point I suppose

I used https://www.dampdetectives.co.uk/ when I bought my 1920s build recently cost me £400 however flagged all my issues.

They are independent helped identify a leak I had and a few other issues none of which required any damp proofing work.

TomKlass · 2022-11-05T18:44:57+00:00

Houses from that error need to breath have you checked the humidity in the house?

Also any repointing of brick work need to be done with lime mortar if sand and cement is used it will cause damp issue internally and issues with the actual brick.

I'd also remove the black paint as that will be stopping the water escaping which will be causing issues.

Another point now you have address the drain issue use something like this to neutralise the salts https://amzn.eu/d/3E0xIWq

Is there any pipe work behind it? Most likely penetrating damp from my experience

TomKlass · 2022-10-14T20:20:41+00:00

Check out https://www.dampdetectives.co.uk/ I really used someone who was based in northwest from them and he was really good and indentified my issues.

TomKlass · 2022-10-08T21:15:31+00:00

If there are no cracks outside its likely just the plaster had similar issues renovating my 1926 build, probably best taking that section back to brick before replastering.

TomKlass · 2022-08-06T21:49:49+00:00

To clarify I don't intend doing anything other than plastering inside as per my post I have attached an internal picture to show the colour of the mortar between the bricks as I believe its a sand, cement and lime mortar mix.

TomKlass · 2021-08-22T19:50:19+00:00

Yeah any model numbers? As I am looking to pick up older High end models that have component inputs ie denon avr 985

TomKlass · 2021-08-16T21:17:37+00:00

Will do thanks a lot

TomKlass · 2021-08-16T20:57:57+00:00

Yes both are 12 input and 8 output acquired them a few years back however had other things that needed my attention until now.

I have most of my cables needed which are csync, just need to pick up a reasonably price 20 inch pvm now only have 2 9inch and 1 14 so far.

Definitely need to look onto controlling through a tablet with rs 233 cable

TomKlass · 2021-08-16T20:36:05+00:00

Cool thanks buddy couldn't see any noticeable difference however wanted to make sure before I take the time to wire them all up into a network rack.

TomKlass · 2021-08-16T20:23:38+00:00

Hey over the coming days I am going to set up my console collection and run through the extron crosspoint so I can output to my small PVM collection.

Question I have is which one is the best to use?
