it will only show the herd number of where the animal went, if you go in to make a movement permit and enter the herd number it will give you the name and address of the herd owner, maybe someone else knows an better way of finding out

You're an absolute star, you've no idea how much that has helped us! Thank you

Have you not got them plasterboard fixings?? We used to call them worms when i was an apprentice. you screw them into the plaster and then a woodscrew into them

Big heavy curtains. Pulled those alloy worm things out of the board. Got long grey plug things. Due to Dept of boards and insulation, not long enough. Or at least the expansion ding piece was long enough, but the screw wasn't. Got longer ones but then needed longer bit. Still not happy with how it looks.

The 50mm insulated slab is some job for heat tho. Will do it in my house when building

On its own not enough. You'd want a fair bit if cavity insulation to back it up.

The one thing I wish I had done, was to use a 6 inch block for the inner leaf of the walls, and use hollow concrete slabs for the 1st floor and a poured screed instead of timber floorboards.

I have the cavity pumped with Aeroboard beads as well.
In a dormer style house though, a lot of this is pointless without great building practice around the top of the cavity walls, where the wall plate is strapped on and the couples are nailed.
You could have a draft that would (as they say round here) "clean oats"

Ya can't beat hollow core. No matter how much you try and sound proof joists its not the same. Or else yourself and mrs nek should have planned for the master bedroom on ground floor....;-)

Have 250mm cavity with beads also. No need to dryline only thing is the wallties were mad dear. For the draft get a quote for spray foam the entire slope and around the wallplate and cavity closer. Will stop all drafts and kill the cold bridge of the cavity closer

For the external insulation we use bigger plastic version of the steel lads you have there because we have only insulation to screw to .
They are about 65mm long and the face is about 30mm so whatever you're screwing on has a solid base behind it and it doesn't sink into the wall . Very strong job considering they are just into insulation board

Can ya not get thin steel rawl bolts that fit a similar size hole to the grey plastic ones you have their but the expand out behind the plaster board to leave a good 2inch diameter of strips behind the wall in a sorta star pattern?

I dont agree with pumping the walls , Causes thermal bridging in my opinion

They work with dry lined walls, but you can't use where the cosi-board is bonded to the blockwork.
