Haha sorry Paul I'm not with it today lol, my plasterer is Tony! The bath is 750 but I've built the wall 800 to allow for some give and the new plaster on the external wall. I've got some 12.5mm hardiebacker in the shed so I'll prob use that but I'll have to use some plasterboard on the edge...

Yeh I'll double check what they are Tony. I'm a builder Tony and to be onest I just used to use a good flexible tubbed adhesive, and never had any problems, But I'll use a primer this time and powered adhesive and see how I go. I've built a stud wall at the head of the bath to house the...

Hi Tony I think they are 600x300 and I'm pretty surer they are ceramic, but if a square meter can hold 20kilo I'm sure it will be fine, I just wanted to cover myself

Morning all, Need some advice please, I'm in the process of stripping out a bathroom and noticed the wall where the shower was is ringing wet. I'm going to let the wall dry etc but the customer is buying floor and wall tiles, they've told me the guy in the tile shop said not to put these 7mm...

Yeh I've read this before noseall, thank you anyway :) Unfortunately I can't get back to his house, I'm sure it wasn't below 35

Noseall that's great mate, thank you so much for that long reply. I'll be reading this a few times over. I'm rebbeding some old bonnets over the weekend for a friend. The only thing I'm half shore about is he wants me to do the barn around the back aswell but some need replacing, and for some...

Morning all, Sorry to post yet another question but I've been googling for a while and can't find the answer I'm looking for, When tiling hips with bonnets, is it just a full tile either side to square it up? I'll bed them first of course, P.s. my last post about the mansard roof is...

Thank you noseall, yeh I've done quite a few roofs, but never done one like this, I couldn't find the old drawings for the roof in the pic, I just want as much knowledge as I can get to be onest, i know it will come in time but I like to cover myself and be prepared! :)

Thank you woody, I need to know how much to measure in from the outside wall plate to the new supporting wall plate, And also hope high would the supporting wall be ( the one that holds the pitched rafters ) I want the pitch 38 degrees :) Cheers mate

Hi woody thanks for that. The roof I'm on about hasn't got a flat top, we done one a few years ago, I'll take a picture and show you now, I'm on the job, I've come back to decorate the house, a chippie that used to work for us done this roof and I cut the timbers for him, but I can't remember...

Sorry I should of said it clearer, it's basically a flat roof with a glass lantern in the middle, And then a sloped roof all the way round. With 2 hips on each side :)

Hi noseall, yeh I know it has a flat roof in this picture but I trying to figure out how to build one with a flat roof lower with a ridge on top, Faux hip aye? I'll have a Google :)

Evening everyone. The picture I've attached should help a bit more. Just wanted to know the name of this style of roof, and the "formula" to construct it :) , I.e the measurement in and up for the slope. Roughly 38 degrees. The back side of the sloped roof is also tiled, and then a flat roof...

Oh you mean the the 4x2 wall plates on the wall I think :)

Great When you say side returns, you mean the commons against the wall right?

Gotcha! Thank you noseall, really helped me out there! Cheers mate

Evening noseall, yeh I understand everything you said, What I meant is, if I decided to have a pole plate under the commons will it sit under the commons only and not the hip? Because the hip goes straight to the wall. So basically I'll have my pole plate under 3 commons

Yeh there is no ridge on mine but I'm just saying when I see other porches with a ridge, what dimensions would a porch be to have a ridge? And also That 600mm wall plate in-between will only take 1 common because the other 2 commons will be on the wall? That's right isint it.

Yes!! Gotcha now, it makes sense now you say that, have to keep it 90 degrees. Noseall one more question if you wouldn't mind answering for me, Why do some porch roofs have a little ridge? Maybe like 500mm or so, is it easy to work out if a porch will need a ridge? Thank you mate. P.s ...

How does this look noseall, have I done this right..
