How did you get on with interstitial condensation?

Why should he, he is correct but is dependant on ground conditions....i.e. if you are on clay and Laylandii are within a certain distance you could end up putting piles it. Yes this is an extreme but had do do it on mate of mine's place in Uxbridge that is on London clay. Generally building control will not accept less than 1m deep unless solid substrata allows shallower. U.Jeff: It sounds like you are spending quite a lot of money so why take short cuts. The problem is when you come to sale the house the surveyors and conveyancers will pick up on the lack of required approvals, as you found when you purchased the house. This will likely have an adverse effect on future value. - You need to consider planning, but recent relaxation in planning laws probably means you are ok - Building Reg's. The type of work you want to do and have done can be done on what is called a 'building notice'. This is an application to the Council (or approved inspector, these are private building control companies and not council) means you can have very basic drawings and the Council Building Control Officer will provide guidance as you build and will provide advice and answer the queries you have. - Party Wall etc Act 1996 - if you are building within 3m of a neighbour's property and your foundation is deeper than the neighbour's foundation and/or you are building up to the boundary line you have to give notice to your neighbour (this is not an exhaustive list but sounds applicable for what you are doing). If you don't they can take an injunction out and stop you progressing until a notice is serve and formal Party Wall Award is drawn up. Best way is you speak to them about what you want to do, provide them with a sketch and get agreement from them that they do not object to your works. - Another thing to be wary of is Construction Design & Management Regulations (CDM), these are health & safety procedures specifically for the construction industry. At the moment these regulations are only applicable to commercial works but from April 2015 they will apply to domestic residential. the exact rules are yet to be finalised. Also if your mortgage company were to find out what you are doing your mortgage could be at risk. Not following procedures because they are expensive and a waste of time is fine when everything is going ok. But if things start to go wrong not following procedures can be a lot more expensive. If Building Control were to find out they have the power to force you to open up finished work and even to take things down if incorrectly constructed e.g. insufficient foundations. I cannot recommend more strongly that you should seek the correct professional help. Good luck.

LAME

I was there. I was at uni' in Oxford at the time. A mate from uni and his family all pompey fans. I stayed at their place in Fareham and his dad got tickets in the Fratton end. As SAINTS score all I had the guts was for a smile as chimes cry. That night went with his dad to his local. On the darts I scored two of the only 180's I have ever scored. Played his dad and team mates (all skates) off the board. Never played like it before nor since.

Tonight's result takes the U21's to top of the league, well done lads. (other clubs have games in hand). http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150112-u21-report-fulham-vs-southampton-2199688.aspx

I just hope upon hope we can keep it that way. I live n work in london and now gooners have vertually caught up with us im sick of hearing how crap they think saints are and how arsenal are bound to finish top for as always and as their deserved right. They werent saying that 3weeks ago. Spurs spout the same ****e as well.

Spot on

defo agree

and we play hoof ball!!! Would Love to ask him if we played hoof ball yesterday

spot on

Shame on all asociated with this mindless vandalism.

yeah right fat chance.....but I hope to be wrong

But if Scotland leaves Wales may well expect (and why shouldn't they) to be represented on the nation's flag. Also what do we call ourselves?

£74k is a lot of money for an awful amount of people, but for the type of jpb, the hours worked and the shiiittee they take £74k is a pretty poor salary. Perhaps this is why we do not get the top people in government. Why would the best and successful people at the top of their respective industries give up their jobs to go into politics. Of course if you are successful in business doesn't automatically meet you will be a good politician but i woul have thought the odds would be greater. But back on topic there is a unique relationship between the home countries unlike anywhere else. As much as we may all dig at each but when it comes down to it most would stand up next each other against foreign aggression. You only have to look at the recent Glasgow Commonwealth games, the cheers for England and the other home nations were almost as loud as for the Scots. The unique relationship is arguably the most successful union in world history. Yes things in some ways are not as great as they were but this is still one hell of free nation. I for one will be extremely disappointed if the vote is yes. But also the no vote has to be large enough to silence Salmond. Otherwise the campaign will drag on for years not doing any of us any good. Come on Scotland vote 'NO'.

Att: 2,980. Obviously it must have been just away fans there.

Why hasn't there been more national media attention? I've seen various local new reports but little national. Yes I know FB isn't the best of known ex.Premier League players but I would have thought the football media would have got behind him. COYFB

i have just texted myself that the club won't be sold..........hang on.....just received another one from myself yes the club will be sold......hang on..........................................

SO is Lovren still with the team. Sure I just caught Talkspork saying he was now in Liverpool. May have just miss heard!!

Well done ML. Truely missed

Ooooooh you are so clever

what a load of shiiittt, the original post that is.

this!!!. Can we close or move this from the Saints relation stuff. so much shiiiittte be written.

I work n live in London and Spud fans I know are well ****ed off. How does little Southampton attached Koeman and they end up with MP. Just hope we are still the ones laughing come next season
