If you can lift off the doors, they could be lift off hinges.

Thanks. Hadn't even considered that option . :D

We have a little toilet built into a rough lean to on the rear of our house. The render is really old and bubbled/cracked in places. It needs walls that are fairly uniform and able to take some paint. I would rather attempt cement render than skimming plaster but wonder if there are some...

The only aspect of 'display' I am concerned with is the outside view. I.e. panels buckling or pulled off their seals. 'Desperate not to' is a dramatisation of 'do you think I'll have to?'

It's weird..... looking at it, I can help feeling that with, say, a spade bit, I could drill out a couple of holes somewhere, and it would relax.....or get worse. Think I'll mark it and measure it all up with tell marks.. for now.

+1 for stainless steel threaded bar. Can't ever have too much stainless steel in one's life. Peace of mind.

Granted, yes not straight. But it will oscillate seasonally with highs and lows of ambient humidity? Worst next year not likely to be wildly different from 5 years time. I hope?

Thanks for taking the time. Shame, but makes sense. I hope the panels have the margin to take whatever the joist end has done without bowing or pulling clear of a seal edge. Really don't want to remove it.... In a year's time, it should have gone through its cycle of humidity and movement? Would...

I have finished a basic lean to shelter. One of the rafters bent as it dried before putting polycarbonate sheets on so I had to remove the fixings and set it off it's original position. I tried to bend (fight) it before bracing it. But it still wants to be twisting. The fascia is the only...

As he didn't abrade the pipe with a power tool, he won't have made airborne much, if any particles. Double bag it and take it to the tip for a call ahead drop off. If you can find the route of the pipe, and there is more, and you can't remove it, then it's another kettle of fish. But a single...

Pics.... there's cracks and there's cracks.

Where is the wall plate?

Somewhere after camembert, but before Wensleydale, yes. ;)

Also, if you have wooden suspended floors the air bricks need unblocking to preserve the life of the timbers, aside from what cosmetic signs of damp exist on the interior walls. Air is your friend!

We are certainly at the limits of my knowledge. But with the same problem (though with poured concrete rather than bricks) I cut about 1' from the wall and removed the concrete. Exposed the old dpc. Replaced the air bricks that were about 1/2 covered. Filled with membrane and chunky washed...

Looks to me as though they have tried to mitigate the damage of raising ground level by creating a a bitumen coated plinth that will shed water. Water that hits it from splashing on the ground will indeed be shed, but it will of course also draw moisture from the ground. I am presuming location...

Wouldn't worry about it. You might find it cracks but that would likely mean you'd need to go over it again. Same can happen if substrate was too dry and sucked the moisture out too fast. So I wet down the substrate quite heavily, and make a thick mix. If it's too runny to stay put it's no good...

So set a lower than exit lowest point with weep hole, then install as normal.

Kitchen extractor comes out under/into lean to shelter. Straight into 'clothes drying zone'. Solution is to extend the ducting up and along the wall to the side of the lean-to roof and out through the feather edge siding.. In winter it's visibly laden with steam/moisture Won't the ducting...
