Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation Re: Insulating 7 Start + new house 25Sep 03, 2018 1:37 pm BTW, I am really not convinced that doing two slabs should be more expensive than doing a bigger one (if the area is the same). $10K difference is outrageous, the rate is $65 for formwork + granno/steelfixing labour per sqm, the rest is the cost of concrete and steel. Moreover, for alfresco slab you could potentially use lighter reinforcement (e.g. SL62 mesh instead of SL82). Re: Insulating 7 Start + new house 26Sep 03, 2018 3:29 pm Thank you algernon and alexp79, very informative response as usual. I shall seek to have separate slabs for alfresco and porch (which is rather long - 9 x 1.6 m ). Sorry CheeseNWine, for hijacking your tread! Yes well there solution is to blame everyone else while I a 65yr old woman with major medical problems have to just continue to boil water and wash myself in a bucket… 2 16018 If you make sure all taps inside and out are turned off, what does the water meter show if you leave it for a while. 2 20235 13 6632 |
