vented

Ive been trying to but he not answering. Lst time i was chatting with him he mentioned its excess heat expanding out the pipe. Its obvious to me there's something wrong with the way its been installed. I suspect ill get some bullshit that its the systems fault and not his own work that's...

I turn the pump on, pt my hand on the pipe over the expansion tank. What should and shouldnt happen to know its pumping over.

What am i looking for when its turned on. One thing i noticed earlier is the system(pipe beside the cylinders where the pump is) was cooled down but the pump was still running.

what do you mean pumping over the expansion pipe

I recently had a back boiler solid fuel stove installed in my home. Its been tied into my oil heating system to a new twin coil cylinder. Since this new stove has been installed, anytime the heating is on , theres dripping from my overflow pipe. Its only happening when either the stove is lite...

12mm Osb just on the legs. Like night and day. Took all the lateral movement out that I was worried about. TY

It's 31.5 degrees

Say the rafter length is 5m, the board behind the fascia board is 3/4 ply with fiscia is normal thickness. What would the headlap and batten guage I need. Slates 600x300mm .

I hear ya. I've installed a few trusses in my time and know what happens when one cuts the plastic strapping lol. Very flimbsy indeed. So when installed, if the trusses are out of plumb 50mm from top to bottom then this is acceptable. Will this not put more extra tension on the bracing band...

Just looking online about bowed and out of plumb trusses. Am I ready this right it's saying a roof truss can be 2 inch out if plumb and it'll still be acceptable. I can't fantom a truss being out by so much. Maybe half inch max at a guess but 50mm, surely there will be issues if it's out by that...

I have, waiting on them getting back to me. You see, the one looking after this has taken a few days off.

The truss suppliers supplied the trusses plus the diagram of bracing however i was expecting the truss slide shoes with the 3 longer holes rather than one long and 3 small.

These type where confusing me because ive seen others that have the glide long hole only they have 3 the same. Why is there different types So, your advice would be to nail the long hole while trusses are installed and when the roof is loaded with battens, felt and slates then is the time to...

What do you think of these glide shoes, if one nails into the top holes, surely it defeats the purpose of getting these if they can slide. The ones with the same top holes as what's on these would help the movement.

30-40sq meters per cubic ton is what's recommend. 10ton will be plenty.

If one has 105sq meters of rendering to do, how much sand would one need. Would 10ton plastering sand be enough for scratch coat & final coat with some reveals on 4 openings.

TY. Great pics!

By 1/3, if the overall height of my raise tie truss is 2.7m, then by the 1/3 rule then it shouldnt be more than 0.9m higher than the wall plate. If that is the case, my raised tie from the ground will be 3.8m which is 12.5ft. If i raise my ridge height to 5.6m. 12block high is 2.7m. 100mm...

Apologies, looks like the horizontal bracing are 4x2s and the diagonal bracing is 4x1. Probably just the camera angle. Wire nails for your bracing and paslode nails for the battens or wire nails for both. Have worked on jobs that have done both methods.
