No disagreement there, easy enough to work out wind pressure/forces on external walls and resulting overturn in moments and then confirm any buttressing walls/piers provide adequate resistance

Probably Probably more than a minute but I get your drift

Well if your trimmers are adequate to take the loads to the outer joists and the joists are of sufficient strength to take the extra load then fine, anything is allowed if it's structurally verifiable

Probably/possibly/definitely depending on what your plan of action is to remedy your problem. My advised method way back when was basically taking the tension off the wire by clamping onto the drive shaft with something and turning it backwards 1/2 a turn against the force of the spring, adjust...

So when you have cut all the joists and fitted your hatch frame in whats to stop the cut joists in the 3m span direction wanting to drop down?

Sounds to me that your videos are about completely retightening a spring on the shaft by rotating the loosened spring retaining block around the shaft then tightening some grub screws hold it in position, nothing to do with my method but more than one way to skin a cat, good luck

Something like this perhaps on the other side of the joist

"And here are the wind loading/stability calcs that go with them to prove their structural integrity cos I cannot find any deemed to satisfy paras in Doc A "?

Unless its compressed the pipe at the same time but thats OK because you can quickly cut and solder a new piece of pipe in place ;)

Unfortunately there is nothing in Doc A that gives deemed to satisfy guidance for single skin and pier construction and I doubt whether BC will accept "this is the pier spacing we always do" with out structural verification ( unless maybe with an old school BC officer or the garage is being...

Set your stall out and there is no need to freeze anything. Not withstanding the messing about with the PTFE etc now that you have nipped up the nut a bit tighter is it still leaking from that joint as if it still is you may have an issue with the olive not seating right or being over compressed...

In accordance with Cl 2C6 Approved doc A as basic starter for 10 (190 thick walls) and develop it to what spec you want the garage to be built to

Lost me with grub screws??

Ditto

Is it a gravity fed or combi pressurised system? How did you manage to add PTFE? How did you manage to add jointing compund?

Pretty boring investor so just plod along with capital in shares which with reinvesting divis and growth have gone up 27% this year as opposed to 16% last year so fairly happy with that and trying to put any thoughts of a crash out of my mind. Private pension with Aegon has gone up 15% so...

Has your action stopped the drip? Depends on system, pressurised or gravity, but both doable without draining down but try above advice 1st

I can slam any door light weight or not as I am sure the child can if he wants to it just means not letting go till you have banged it shut

As stated above possibly overkill and depends why you need to strengthen but FYI re sistering https://www.labc.co.uk/news/how-get-it-right-bolting-timbers-together-correctly

I like the electric planer idea which is similar to what I did when I needed to humps/ridges in some floorboards before I laid some lino. The drier/brittle the bitumen the better as it would be more akin to wood. Try taking of 1/2 mm at a time and see what happens, if it works, fine, if not then...
