# would that be the 'sharp intake of breath' noise
that means it'll cost another £300 on top of the original quote?

# only £300?
that Builder must be new to the game...
/Although to be honest, most of the Builders I deal with are very fair and great people.

# I've installed hardwood, not that cheap laminate, throughout my house (concrete slab) and have 6 mil polyethylene througout
kitchen and bathrooms are all travertine, not a piece of carpet in the place.

edit: then again, I'm no builder b y trade, just an 'I can do that' type

# Yes
but it does not alter the fact that you don't need a moisture barrier unless you are laying your timber on a concrete slab directly in contact with the sub-soil or poured beneath the dpc.
Foam underlay is perfectly acceptable when laying on a pre-existing floor surface.

# better safe than sorry I suppose
lately I've been working on a rope bridge, here's the platform of one side



I have 3/4 stainless rods going through the trunk. The platform should grow with the tree.

That one right there I planted from a sapling 6 yrs ago. It's a queen palm. They grow like crazy as you can see.

# I'm thinking you'll occasionally have to replace the ladders though

# true, I left them a foot longer which should be good for a year or so

# nice work! when it gets too big you could turn the bridge into

# I don't want to be Captain Mc Killjoy,
but don't trees grow from the top? So even if that tree grows 1m a year, it just means the top of the tree will be 1m further away from your rope bridge. The rope bridge will still be the same height off the ground.

# I'm guessing this will be the case to some degree
which now I've built it, I think will be just fine. It's frigging high when I stand on it

# Indeed,
it will undoubtedly be 7 shades of awesome regardless.
