Disadvantages:- It will be much more expensive than getting it covered with mineral or EPDM and will also require more labour(time),therefore more expense. Advantages:- Lead will last for years!! And if done by a good leadworker it will IMHO look a lot better than mineral or EPDM

I knew you would come up trumps JohnD :D

Do a google search for EAVES GUARD :wink:

As JohnD says,the mortice and tennon will be strongest.... Im not sure if JohnD understands what you mean about the locks or wether its me getting the wrong end of the stick but if you mean a combination of locks then you could go with a 5 lever insurance rated mortice lock and a cylinder(yale...

I replied to this post last night but it seems to have disappeared..... Any moderater able to explain where my post went :?: :roll:

I was faced with a similar problem when i built some decking but the radius wasn't as big as yours. The way i finished it was to use some 12mm exterior plywood bent around the radius and fixed to the joist ends.I then ripped a decking board down its length to 13mm thickness which when fixed...

Can you post a picture to show us your problem?

if as you say you are getting it decked soon then i wouldnt worry too much about it.....stick a couple of goldfish in it and voila.......a pond :lol:

Chamfer is close....... Can you not just cut the pipe and then use a rasp to achieve the chamfer?

Do a google search.......i did and found a few options

Hi again, Judging by what you've said about having to replace the timber fascia you'll probably find that this will be more difficult to save the drips as there will/can be more underlying problems i.e fascia being fixed to the decking boards.If i was you i would bite the bullet,remove the...

It sounds worse than it will be :shock: Ive used this method many times with great success(can't really go wrong).If you find that its not coming up as easy as you thought it would by snapping the planks then just persevere with the cutting method i described.......you'll have fun :lol:

i would start at an edge of the floor,say a doorway or similar.Knock a couple of timber wedges under the flooring to lift it enough to cut along the length of the board with a circular saw with the depth set at just below thickness of flooring.Cut along both edges and pull up flooring as you are...

Are you wanting to lift the floor so that it can be relaid or are you just gonna chuck it in the skip?

This topic has been previously discussed on the forum......... The best method would be to remove the drips(folded over felt) altogether,fit coverboard and then get a felter/flat roofer to renew the drips. If you are wanting to avoid these costs then you will probably find that it is...

Pleased your back with you gun....If you havnt already read the cleaning instructions then id highly recommend it. I work for a roofing firm but im not a roofer (joiner) and the lads who are using their guns all week battening and such like always tend to give their guns a clean at the end of...

RESULT :lol: :lol: :lol: Ooops,sorry!! i didnt mean to shout :shock: :oops: :lol: :lol:

Did they tell you what the problem was? You'll be looking for things to nail now :lol:

There are certain products available to fix your problem.If you want to fix back into existing holes then you could use something like araldite 2 part resin......mix a little and apply into holes,insert screws whilst still wet and allow to dry. HOWEVER,there is a special plate designed for...

In a word 'YES' Remember that you will also have to fix new sill. Pilot drill holes,countersink,drill step,rawlplug,screw, fit pellet/fill screwholes and seal up new sill.....Jobs a guddun!!! :lol:
