As above, it is wrong and he could have bedded the top tile so it didnt cockle when the ridge was put down. The tile has been cut at the bottom too and should have been cut at the top so you kept the factory edge exposed not a badly executed fresh cut. The pointing is not filled or smoothed to...

Search Pinterest for tool storage ideas, I pick through it mainly for the van, but great for all different tools and size situations. It may also be worth getting boxes for the tools you have loose, either the original empty boxes for the tools you have or generic ones that will fit and eBay or...

Depending on whether you can accomodate the nut these may work ...

Another great job by WTF Roofing

Doing that kind of area in Acrypol would be very expensive so a cheaper option would be a bituminous paint or similar such as this ...

Firstly, congratulations on gaining about 12 inches of your neighbours roof as that join should be down the centre of the party wall but is clearly in your favour and secondly it looks like they have used the old lead and tiled rather badly around it so it is a good bet they have not done the...

The inner ring with the spokes on should unscrew either fully or a part turn allowing you to remove it for cleaning, alternatively you can use any of the drain busting unclogging fluids on the market which should help move the problem.

"Originally I found the centre of the bay and then ran my laser through the centre point and through the centre of each mullion. It visually looked ok." You should have stopped at that point as I think you have committed a classic case of overthinking it. You could struggle on and possibly...

Looks very similar to this stuff which is shrink wrapped into bales...

My solution would be to noggin between the joists with 6 X 2 timbers fixed with heavy screws or anchor bolts and skew fixed into the current joists then rip 30mm lengths from another 6 x 2 and use foaming glue and 6 X 100 screws or the TurboCoach screws...

It's a scruffy looking job at best with missing nails (especially up the side and base of the timbers), nails not hit fully home, split laths, ragged lath ends, etc... have you paid them in full ?

May be worth taking a bolster chisel to one if you can as the mortar may well come off easier than you think. Failing that, then yes, it is possible to bed them as they are found but would be much more work getting them set and to a level, etc...

What you have shown there is a lap joint but very much the way to tackle this one. You still actually have around half of the timber depth at the base so using modern foaming glues and good screws you could cut out the rot with a multitool type weapon and patch in a new piece of timber and if...

I would say leave it on other than a light sanding and overboard it as it will make no difference to the finish on the new boards.

This version accomodates 50mm to 90mm of space so may be enough for the depth you need.... pricey but other options are out there...
