Thanks Mottie, but I’d rather the forum fix it so everyone can find it easier to use this place :)

Every time I try and upload a photo from my iPhone I get the following message. I appreciate images are getting bigger in size nowadays, but also hosting memory is cheap. For those of us that try to keep build threads on here, it’s very inconvenient to not be able to upload images easily.

No ‘elf and safety in Riga :D

Frasier is great, very cleverly written. I also enjoy How I Met Your Mother and Kerb Your Enthusiasm.

Thanks. Don’t be too hard on yourself - your blocks are bigger and heavier than mine, and you have a restricted space to work in too!

So onward with the block laying, have had tons of pallets of blocks delivered. I’ve gone for plasmor fibolite 7nm blocks for the exterior and thermolite 3.5nm blocks for the inside. I used the plasmors for my extension, and I like them as you can lift and lay with one hand. The 7mn isn’t needed...

Awwww. but cats still rule! :giggle:

I’m feeling your pain. I was laying blocks in the sunshine today too and sweating out of parts of my body that I never knew could sweat :D

I like this one too:

Pictures please

Tony's been great and has helped me in the past. I hadn't seen him round too much lately so didn't want to trouble him.

Got it cheap on eBay, so why not :)

Yeah, my plan is to have the roller fitted on the inside of the opening - which in thinking about it - is also another reason for needing a bit of height with the a row of blocks on either skin. I would have preferred to have it like your job, as you then get a little bit more room inside...

Thanks for sharing. I like the look but I’m playing with a 17.5 roof so as shallow as shallow gets. Is that garage door 2.1 high too? I would really like a flush roller door to the from like that one in your picture, but with the roller in the opening you loose 20-30mins so I’d be ducking to...

Good shout FMT. It's not really a cost thing for me, it's more for ease of fitting as these catnics appear to be less than 100kg. On my extension the garage beam was a similar span and was a 152 x 152 x 30 with a 250 x 8m plate and it was a bugger to move I've not yet got an SE for the ridge...

Hey folks, I'm in the process of building my garage with regular cavity walls, but I'm thinking ahead to the steels above the openings. I have a 3.5m span at the back for a bi-fold door and a 4.5m span at the front for the garage door opening. I'm going to have one course of blockwork above...

Gloves

Fair enough on that site, but there's loads of then out there. For example...
