new build outside light

[Rockingit]

I do loads of timber frame, and as it seems to be the next generations method of choice then get used to it!

It's better practice to have first fixed it right to start with and run your cable in behind the vapour barrier, but either way it's just the normal downwards drilled hole straight through whatever is in the way and out the other side, insert cable, insert some foam around either end to reseal. Job done. Would normally take me about a minute. Remember to allow for screed and render depth on the outside wall so that where you've brought the cable through isn't directly behind where you'll need to second fix the light and drill through your own cable!

All i know is breaking the vapour membrane without positive resealing is a complete No, No!!

I'd personally never buy a wood framed house, or build an extension with this system for love nor money!! lol!!

Next they will be bringing in 'eco-plaster' made of mud and all that straw and horse-hair that goes to waste!

Well, both architects and environmentalists seem to like it for a number of reasons; U values, sustainability, carbon output.....oh, sorry, I forgot: You're doing projects in China.

Nowt wrong with timber frame as long as you can accept that in the same way seeing a nice vintage car still running about on the highways and knowing it won't be happening with the car you drive.A flood,small fire or passage of enough time and it's time to build something new.It's why i collect anvils for a hobby...longevity rules:clown:

Just contact with the builder who have installed the light and in my opinions without doing experiment just call to any good electrician also.

Of course they do, but the main reason they like them, is building cost, and how fast they can be thrown up, not necessarily the reasons you give!! Those vapour membranes, are critical!! loss of it's integrity and and rot and damp will follow. And with the timber sizes that they use these days, it wont take long to rot through!! Give me a conventional built building every single time!! lol!!

Nothing wrong with the concrete framed, block infill buildings on this project!! lol!!

another few years, we'll catch up with the stone age tribesmen in africa, building houses from straw and mud.

Plagiarist!
