Christmas decs still in there at this time of year? You related to Scrooge?

Tidy install there noseall, did you let the misses choose the colour to paint it

Looks good ! The OSB boarding is the look these days in some modern builds I am seriously considering it instead of plasterboarding my new addition of block and concrete tiled workshop only because I can’t plaster so it’s a cheaper finished option but still can look great

Thanks yes did that, some horror stories aren’t there! Actually Found local supplier with some redland regents in stock so going to get a few to see what they look like. Also discussed it with Marley technical who confirmed they wouldn’t recommend the moderns at that pitch which I knew but still...

What stuffs things up is leadtime on tiles currently, when did extension my tiles here within 2 weeks and from a local co too, no delivery cost. Now it's 3-4 months for Marleys, and that's at minimum for the mendip 12.5's which I though maybe I'd try a pallet on the bit temporarily covered and...

It's intended as multipurpose overall, the new end is workshop and a bit of the old, already got french doors one side and window at back so plenty light and don't want direct light on the equipment plus would like solar on roof when funds allow. The front end has a door going through from...

Okay thanks, I’d come across some locally left over from a job and just crossed my mind, have this extension we did and now converting garage which has been extended and got a temporary roof, it’s 12.5 degrees I can’t go higher, want to do that bit first as it’s business workshop currently in...

Has anyone used this system called easy slate 500 for low pitch slate roof, wondered it it would also work with Marley moderns which is not a slate I know but presume the concept of it is the lift a tile to reduce capillary and to put a channel under the tile joins, thanks...

Mine are fitted, been in a while. Came pre-assembled but can take doors out to fit the frame, You can probably spec them as component frame too but depends where you buy from as what they will offer you, loads of fabricators do Smart, I fitted myself no dramas. You supply the dimensions you...

I went for three door and integrated cill. Traffic door on left looking from outside and hinged on the door next to it.

Google heel and toe glazing. Use a plastic glazing paddle to push the frame away from the glass and wedge Packer/s in, basically the glass is the ridged part of the door and you are bracing the frame around it, like the bracing on a wooden gate corner to corner. Careful use of paddle to only...

With the amount of ice cream our kids get through at the moment I should save the plastic containers and use my hole cutter! Anyone want to buy some insulation retaining washers? #covid19bordomprojects

2p, or not 2p, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the board washers of ebay, costing a small fortune, or use your arms and drill the tuppences - Yup, Shakespeare always has the answers in one of his plays

I'm feeling like I've been robbed now on my 100 insulation board washers for £5.94, I should have gone to the bank for some 2p's!

Up to the velux windows is 400 centres, last 2m evenly spaced. Last week I ordered 75mm pb screws (ideally be 65mm really) and got some 36mm tile backer/insulation washers coming from ebay to hold up the insulation (defacing 2p's how very dare you) also 100m foil tape for joints to make it the...
