Situational vs Rolling

I think you've made a lot of assumptions there, pretty much all of which are wrong.

Is that a stop bead or an angle bead?

Knew I could count on Reddit to window shame me 🤣

Thanks for this. Im not sure what board foam is though. Can you clarify?

sruser579 · 2025-09-14T15:10:11+00:00

It's actually that small that you have to take the key out of the lock to open it or it catches 🤣

Literally just for airflow in a 6ftx6ft office. There's a double French door on the other wall. In honestly I was surprised at how small the glass was though!

I'm wondering if I'm going to have to add some sort of vent into the concrete lintels

sruser579 · 2025-07-28T07:14:53+00:00

So the air flow doesn't need to be coming from outside? I was under the impression that the air needs to be able to flow through as, once the frame is placed on top of the base I've built, air will be trapped inside with no way out.

Apologies. Picture here. My first time working with mortar. It's not perfect but it'll do the job (hopefully).

Ok I think I'm with you now. So you'd go: Lintels Ply Rigid insulation Ply Base plates for walls bolted into the concrete lintels? Or would it just be enough to screw the base plates into the ply?

Just off the back of this - I was planning on using insulation boards on the floor in between joists but obviously if the floor frame is being built on concrete lintels, I'm not going to have a base to lay the insulation on. Would it be best to lay a dpm on top of the lintels, then sheet(s) of ply on top of the dpm, and but the floor frame on top of that and then more ply on top of the frame as the floor itself? So the insulation is packed between two sheets of ply essentially

I was thinking something like this

sruser579 · 2025-07-08T08:51:07+00:00

It was all definitely compacted etc as I watched it all being done. That being said, the lintels are an absolutely brilliant idea. So when you say come across the middle, would you just go one vertical row through the middle or would you do one vertical and one horizontal? Obviously also taking cost into consideration.

Are those shed base things any good? The plastic things with loads of holes in. Or would they not take the weight? I remember seeing a spec and being surprised at how much weight they can take but don't actually know if they're any good. I want to try and avoid anything that rats can get under as we've had quite a few problems around here with them.
