I'm laying some porcelain paving from the rear of my house into my garden to meet an aco drain just infront of sleeper steps onto our lawn. The acp drain is set lower to accommodate a 1:60 fall. My question is how do I ensure that my paving ends up a couple mm above the top of the aco drain...

Can anyone help with this? can I just install covers on top of the old ones?

You did sorry I wasn't clear, both grub screws do the same thing? You have to adjust them equally? Anticlockwise pulls the door in and clockwise pushes it out?

Thanks, what does turning clockwise/anticlockwise do?

I have seen various guides online of how to adjust doors but nothing specific to mine. Can anyone help. You can probably tell in the pic the door is not central in the frame and needs lifting on the left.

I have just had type 1 laid ready to lay porcelain, I need to add in recessed manhole covers for the drains shown. I'm having a splash strip around the perimeter of the house filled with decorative stone for drainage. How would you go about installing the covers. The downpipe access cover...

Chaps I just want to say I really appreciate all your assistance. I done it and I'm very pleased, simple to you guys but not so much to me, makes sense now and a skill for the future, cheers!

The piece coming up can be cut at any angle, it's just a piece I had spare. So I need two pieces to get this cut right? this is where I'm confused. I can't just bisect the current gap? Sorry I'm not great with wood and angles as you can tell! Appreciate all the help and advice though.

Thanks your assistance chaps. I have done the first part. Now I need to blend in the top part. How would I go about this.

Thanks, I will probably still find some way to screw it up :LOL:

So 45 for the first cut, then use a bevel where the stairs stringer let's call it, runs down then drops vertically. Bisect the angle by halving it and that's the second cut?

Thanks woody, that's exactly what I want. how do i work out these cuts?

Hi, my wife wants this architrave running up the stairs to the landing as shown in the image, they are both a torus profile. How do I make the join look neat? I have various tools including bevels etc..

The 1:80 on porcelain should be fine, no? Can't see how that can go wrong if its set by a string line. The aco would drain to a main sewer. But if its not necessary i would rather not do it

I'm currently digging out for a new patio, I have accounted for a 1:80 fall away from the house, at the end of the patio I will need to build a retaining wall, probably 2-3 blocks high, with steps. Do you think I would need an ACO at the end of the patio, or could I just have a channel of loose...
