Hello I own a place with a bit of land. If I walk to the boundary of my land closest to the village I am near I can get a decent 5G signal on my phone. In the house, it's a weak 4G signal. Can someone tell me exactly what kit I need to 'harvest' (?) the 5G signal at the boundary of my land and...

I see, thankyou for replying.

Hello, How did you overcome this?

It will be used as a garage purely for storing some of my cars, but perhaps it will be used as a dwelling in the future. After a lot of googling and with replies to this thread I finally worked out what I will do. I'm going to install a 50x25 timber plate (one of the roofing batons) to the...

Goes to google to see what eaves sprockets are... Yes, there might be a way with something like that

Another idea (on the fixing side of things)...the sleeved fixing points on these 3-1 protectors are right at the edge, designed to sit in the centre of a fascia board ith nails. If I were to use them I'd be drilling right up against the face of the brick for rawl plugs and screws, so not...

The sleeved fixing points are right at the edge, designed to sit in the centre of a fascia board ith nails. If I were to use them I'd be drilling right up against the face of the brick for rawl plugs and screws, so not possible. Perhaps I could fit a treated 4x1 to the tops of the facing...

Thanks noseall, I dont have a fascia unfortunately. Having one would fix a lot of my concerns very quickly! and gives me heaps of options for ventilation. My next concern is getting the right angle on the last tile. My trusses are going to need to be made to just the right size to match up...

Now found this, I think this is my preferred choice. https://jjroofingsupplies.co.uk/klober-vented-eaves-protector-3-in-1-combination Can just fix to rafters, no fixings onto corbelling, so if first row of tiles nailed down and their weight will hold it all in place?

Hi gonch, thanks for replying, do you have any part built pics for me to study please?

I just realised noseall was one of the respondees ! :D do you have any pics of that one you posted a pic of in 2013?

Thanks for the replies. I found a similar thread on this: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/roof-eaves-design-detail.359695/ I tried to contact noseall to see if he has any pics or to see how he did it (assuming he built it) but I dont seem to be able (or can't work out) how start a...

This is what I have built, it has 100mm cavity and concrete block inner skin. I want to copy the appearance of the adjoining building.

I'm rebuilding an outbuilding and I'm up to wall plate height. I've built it with cavity wall, block inner skin and brick facing. The old buildings on my place all have hidden eaves and they're all 9" solid brick walls with dentil course and sailing course at the top. The bottom row of tiles...

So I should excavate all the way to the underside of the corbelling and put the pad under the bottom of it? I will need to remove some of the bricks on the inside corbelling to allow the steel to sit flush against the wall?

Exactly what I thought, SE says it's not his problem he wouldn't get involved. I should ask a builder how they'd put it in. His job is to do calcs to support a roof and that's it he said!

I used a kit of Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B087Z1P9HZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Take samples, put them in the double bags provided, stick some labels on, post it all to them. I had results sheet emailed to me in 48hrs (mine were all white asbestos!)...

Planning to re-roof a building I own. I want structural ridge beam to support the roof thus achieving vaulted ceiling so gaining lots of lovely open space. Architect has employed engineer to design a goal post steel type arrangement. The ridge beam being supported on two vertical steels at...

OK, time to own up to one of the most basic noob errors...EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS ! I missed it. After cutting more pipes and then convincing my self the internals of the boiler were block I removed it...so I bought an identical model off ebay (for a bargain£45!) which...
