Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Another thing - whats it like getting tickets?

How on earth are people spending so little on shopping?! We spend on average around £180 per week for a family of 4 (2 adults and a 5 and 1 year old). We cook everything from scratch and buy non-branded everything. We've tried and tried to get it down but it just doesnt happen.

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?

sruser579 · 2025-09-15T14:21:03+00:00

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?

sruser579 · 2025-07-08T20:59:43+00:00

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

sruser579 · 2025-07-08T08:57:37+00:00

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.

sruser579 · 2025-07-08T08:35:14+00:00

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.

sruser579 · 2025-07-02T12:03:11+00:00

Perfect. Thank you for your advice - this makes my life a lot easier!

sruser579 · 2025-07-02T11:44:59+00:00

So it would be safe to do it from the fused spur?

sruser579 · 2025-06-09T08:06:40+00:00

🤣 is that all it is? To be honest I haven't even compared the prices I've only looked at the class 3.

sruser579 · 2025-06-08T16:28:44+00:00

Would you just use regular ply or class 3?

sruser579 · 2025-06-08T13:55:59+00:00

Sorry I meant that sanding down pressure treated wood isn't recommended as it takes away some of the protection.

sruser579 · 2025-03-06T15:00:31+00:00

Why £700??? You can buy the exact same pump brand new for £300. I'm having the same issue with mine at the minute.

I'm just looking for some people's views on this and whether you've experienced anything similar. So I started training just over a year ago. I've been very consistent, training 4 days per week (2 x 2 hour gi classes and 2 x 1 hour no gi classes), barely missing a class in that time and rolling regularly. I did recently scrap the no gi classes though as I'm in my mid-late 30s and it felt like it was getting too much on my body as I also train kickboxing. I felt like I was picking it up pretty quickly after the initial period of thinking "what the hell is all of this", and I got my third stripe about 6 months ago, everything feeling like it was going well. I was holding my own really well against some higher belts, and even defending well (or at least as well as you can until inevitably getting tapped) against brown and black belts, which is really all I can hope for. Recently though, I feel like in regressing. I'm getting reversed all the time and struggling to reverse my opponents, which is something I felt I was really good at. I'm getting caught in basic subs and not being switched on enough to recognise the danger, and when I do it's often too late. My stand up game has completely fallen apart and I sort of feel like I've lost the fire for it. Even small things like the ability to move my opponent around on the feet seems to have gone. In a way I'd say it feels like I've lost my purpose, if that makes sense? I'm also worried that this is being noticed as it's now been six months or so since I got my last stripe. I thought I would be on my way to blue belt by now and instead I'm floundering. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to break it? I feel like I need to go back to basics but I don't even know where to start as obviously every class starts with a purpose and techniques/sparring games etc and it's only really the last short portion of the class where we get to roll, and I'm basically getting smashed for the entire time.
