Does this calc look right based on an aerial view of garag e?

Cheers chaps. I'll buy some treated C16 or CLS timber. I assume if I can only overhang the wall plates 2" each side that will suffice as that may be the case in order to wriggle the joists into position. Also wondering whether treated 89mmx38mm CLS would do the trick? It's a lot cheaper Thanks

Cheers for the advice :-) Yes, I am worried about this. I was thinking I could get one end in over the 3" wall plate first then manouvre the other end in place, but it will be tight. The bricks are 4" wide so effectively have a spare inch each side beyond the wall plate. Thanks for your...

Hi, thanks for the advice, so do you mean essentially fit 2 noggins over the span, approx 3' feet across from each wall plate? Would you advise nails or screws to attach to rafters. I heard that nails are often preferred as they can cope with slight movement without snapping? Finally, would...

Hello, I have a detached single skin brick garage (with two brick piers on each length of wall) built in 1961. Span 8'10" Wooden Wall Plate Width 3" (sits on top of the single skin brick wall). Rafters spaced at 17". Existing Rafter Ties are approx 3"x2" timber spaced at 5.5' intervals. I'd...

Hi @ronniecabers, Thanks for the reply. The top and bottom holes are unblocked. I managed to do this with some wire. It seems as if there might be an outer top and bottom cell, as when I push some wire through the top drainage holes, the length of wire I can push in only seems to go about...

Hi, I have a UPVC Window where the water pools in the window frame channel (as per the below photo). As the height of the "side wall" of the channel is lower on the inside, the water comes into the house. As you can see there are three drainage holes (and another three on the other side)...

Hi, Vokera Compaxt 24. Engineer changed Heat Exchanger today as old one had crack causing pressure in CH system to rise. However, the Thermostat in the Hallway is constantly calling for heat as I set the target temp to 23 degrees, and it's not getting over 19.5 degrees. Plus there is a...

Zanussi ZDI6053 Dishwasher Wiring Broken at Bottom of Door 20151115_130126 by kevkdg posted 16 Nov 2015 at 7:34 PM 20151115_130146 by kevkdg posted 16 Nov 2015 at 7:34 PM Not sure what caused it... Any ideas on best way to fix (aside from replacing wiring loom)? Crimp on a "Butt Connector"...

I will wire it up tmw. Thanks for all the advice. I understand all the wires, just stuck at understanding whether or not to make wiring changes to the Transformer to bring it down to 8 volts. I am struggling why the instructions state 8v, yet the unit states 8/12v on sticker. Just...

OK, thanks Still confused about old Transformer. I emailed Friedland technical dept who confirmed 12v would be fine. Sticker on back of chime states 8v/12v. But is this AC or DC? Should I just buy a more modern transformer?

thanks Taylortwocities. I already have two door pushes. I'm not sure what of the three wires connected to the old doorbell is which. I think '0' was common earth. 'R' and '1' were the door pushes. But I'm not sure.

There are two wired push buttons, one at front and one at rear door. OLD doorbell chime (as per photo 3 wires attached to terminals labelled 'R', '0' and '2' AND further three wires not connected to chime but twisted together in what looks like a small white felt tip pen lid, must be some...

I think I'm just confused at the labels of 4v and 8v on each wire from the transformer. See photo below The old door chime was wired as photo in above top listing, with three other wires twisted together and wrapped in insulating tape that did not connect to the chime unit. Old terminals...
