  1. Nice pictures, good trees stickstalker.
  2. Cheers for the info peat. Yes it is a good project, but one that i feel is going to be frustrating as well. As for the roof materials, i only have experience with slate. How does shingles and tin compare. Wouldnt tin be loud and echoy in the rain. cheers.
  3. You could always ask shavey about a dolmar.
  4. Felix,I understand where you are coming from about what he has said, in no way am i trying to defend him. The only point i am trying to make( which for some reason, isnt coming across) is the fact that with our own possessions, we should have the right to do what we want with them. I can remember a few years ago about a farmer that sold some land to some ' travellers' and this upset some people. But it was his land, therefore, his choice. H.
  5. Hi roy, good point re fire. I am still thinking about roof, but if i do go with an 'alternate' roof design, i might put a full length porch on the front / side and put solar tiles on that.
  6. At no point have i mentioned skin colour. All i am pointing out is that we all have a choice about what we do with our own possessions ! Let me try and put it another way. How many threads are there on this forum about customers being problematic, and the answers will invariably include: let them go, dont waste your time with them, etc So you say you dont need / (or want) there custom for your logs Now swap logs for house Think about it.
  7. Eggs, please. I;m not talking about colour of skin, race or whatever. All i am saying, is that if it was our property to rent out then we should have the right to have a say in who we want living there. Thats all.
  8. Cheers Alec. Yes i'm really looking forward to getting stuck into this project, so i will be asking lots of questions. I have been looking at the britshlogcabins website and found some useful stuff. I now have it in my head that i want a 1000mm high stone wall around the perimeter and then sit my log cabin on that. This is the first thing i have properly decided, and im going to work everything else around this. I really fancy a grass roof but also want to incorporate solar into it as well. What about a thatched roof ?
  9. ok, taking this rental property that trump ' apparently' wouldnt let black people rent. Right, lets say it is your property you are renting out. Would you not like a say in who rents it from you ? after all it is your property, your house, so therefore you have every right to have a say in who lives there. would you want someone who couldnt speak english renting it ( meaning every communication would have to go through an interpreter ) i wouldnt. Would you want a known murderer / drug dealer / rapist / etc living there. i wouldnt. so, does this make me racist ? i dont think so. Its just me being sensible in the choice of people i want living in my property.
  10. i'm betting on farage. But either way, i bet it was interesting
  11. Thanks justme, but we have to design and draw it on autocad, which i already have. Its not actually going to be built, but for the project i have to do everything but the actual build.
  12. but surely it is better to speak out and raise an issue than shy away and hide from it.
  13. Well for what its worth I wish we had more of nigel farage, donald trump and tyson fury in our politcs. At least they dont tip toe around things, if they want to say something then they say it and sod the pc brigade. At least you know where you stand with them.
  14. Cheers steve and codlasher. What i have in my mind at the moment, and what i would like to get to work is this: Proper canadian style log cabin ( but must have 4 bedrooms ) the roof i quite like the idea of one of those grass roofs I would somehow like a woodburner to provide heating and cooking (aga) and hot water, i also like to incorporate solar power where possible. I would like a rainwater system to collect water for toilet use All windows and doors to be double glazed in hardwood, waste water to go into a cesspit tank, then collected by tanker, ( am i right into thinking this could be turned into liquid fertilizer ?) what im not sure on yet is footings and how the cabin would sit on them. Any thoughts so far ?
  15. Hi everyone, i need some help. I am studying a btec construction course. As one of my assignments, i have to do a complete set of architect drawings for either a large 4 bed log cabin or timber frame bungalow. I have to include all specs and cover everything from best types of groundworks to best roof covering. I have to cover best type of heating, insulation, absolutely everything and the costings as well. I have to go really indepth with everything connected with the build. So my question is where is the best place to get hold of as much info as possible. I could do with some sample plans, costings etc if possible. I know the internet is full of info, i could just do with narrowing it down abit. If any timber framers or log cabin builders fancy getting in touch, and helping me out, then that would really be much appreciated. Thanks Harvey
  16. For me it would be either a jimny / vitari or an old jeep cherokee.
  17. Well here's mine. Sorry for copying other peoples designs tho
  18. i have mate who swears by jeep. Thats all he will buy now. He uses it for everything inc building site work, horses, farm work. His local dealer is spot on. He loves them. Also pulls his twin axle caravan as well.

    Dolmar

    Well done Andrew, quality product and quality supplier. Them 9010's are nothing sort of raw power and grunt. Wish i had more need to play with mine. Certainly gets the blood pumping.
  21. i work in doncaster not far from the airfield. We always new when it was taking off / landing. i also worked on the hangar to accomodate it before it arrived in doncaster.
