Cost me £700 ! Was an independent guy somewhere in Leicester. He wouldn't explain how I was supposed to tie the footings in to the existing! Said it wasn’t his job and I should speak to my builder

The wall has not been checked, as I say it's just a solid imperial 9" brick Flemish Bond wall, one of them has two large, arched windows in the middle-ish, where my pier will be. The trusses, purlins and rafters will all be removed and burned on my living room fire :) not sure what you mean...

Alas, I don't have a tractor :( but I often look at them! I am not a farmer. Access in with any machine would be a PITA. My neighbour's posh top-spec telehandler (he's is a 'poor & hard-up' farmer...) will just manage to lift the ridge beam in from the side at full reach and at the limit of the...

So this can only be done by chopping out bricks in the existing wall to allow me to tooth in with blocks or bricks every so often (?) or every other course, could you be more specific? do I just chop out halfway through the wall?

My original idea was to use steels to support the ridge too, which is what the SE specced up, but I'd now prefer to build the piers from block/brick. So I'd like/I'm planning to use 440mm x 215 x 215 hollow blocks laid in alternating pairs (so a 440 x 440 pier, similar to yours) then change to...

I have an old farm building that I want to re-roof with a load bearing steel ridge beam. Currently the roof comprises a few beefy king post trusses, approx. 8x5 (?) purlins and 4x2 rafters, all have had it. The building is around 5.5m wide and 10.2m long. I intend to support new 6x2 rafters off...

Hello I own a place with a bit of land. If I walk to the boundary of my land closest to the village I am near I can get a decent 5G signal on my phone. In the house, it's a weak 4G signal. Can someone tell me exactly what kit I need to 'harvest' (?) the 5G signal at the boundary of my land and...

I see, thankyou for replying.

Hello, How did you overcome this?

It will be used as a garage purely for storing some of my cars, but perhaps it will be used as a dwelling in the future. After a lot of googling and with replies to this thread I finally worked out what I will do. I'm going to install a 50x25 timber plate (one of the roofing batons) to the...

Goes to google to see what eaves sprockets are... Yes, there might be a way with something like that

Another idea (on the fixing side of things)...the sleeved fixing points on these 3-1 protectors are right at the edge, designed to sit in the centre of a fascia board ith nails. If I were to use them I'd be drilling right up against the face of the brick for rawl plugs and screws, so not...

The sleeved fixing points are right at the edge, designed to sit in the centre of a fascia board ith nails. If I were to use them I'd be drilling right up against the face of the brick for rawl plugs and screws, so not possible. Perhaps I could fit a treated 4x1 to the tops of the facing...

Thanks noseall, I dont have a fascia unfortunately. Having one would fix a lot of my concerns very quickly! and gives me heaps of options for ventilation. My next concern is getting the right angle on the last tile. My trusses are going to need to be made to just the right size to match up...

Now found this, I think this is my preferred choice. https://jjroofingsupplies.co.uk/klober-vented-eaves-protector-3-in-1-combination Can just fix to rafters, no fixings onto corbelling, so if first row of tiles nailed down and their weight will hold it all in place?
