so am i right in thinking my best option is to aquapanel the walls i am tiling and ok to aquaboard the skimmed/painted walls. shame osb aint any good for it.. always keep a pallet of that in my store for my flat roofs. think i will have to go with a well screwed 12mm ply on the p5 then...

are you saying you have taken your down pipe off and set the fall of the gutter to flow into hers.. ? if so i think she has the right to say you need to reinstate it.. if it was always that way as is the case with many terraced houses sharing 1 pipe between 2/3 then no harm done as you may not...

what i kinda meant was the problem with overboarding p5. and i meant in general where people have a problem ith it as i see it slated a lot on forums "crapboard" yes, if i had know i was tiling originally i would have used ply got a trade accounts at jewsons/interline and buildbase so will...

i would hope they did, no-one can be unlucky enough to have two c*^ts that shoddy ... shocking. looks like a 4yr olds cake decorating

i'm trying to look at the leadwork but can't stop staring at the pointing.

so what is the problem with overboarding? not trying to start anything here just wondering really. what is the price difference between hardi and aquapanel? was gonna use 12mm on walls anyway.

just re-read the wooden garage /hut thing.. might be worth posting a pic . had a normal garage roof in my head. might be a little more tricky if it an apex pitched roof setup

sounds like its white mineral finish. like the traditional green mineral there are various colours now. red/brown, grey/blue, black, white. torch on can be tricky if you aint used to it.. need to heat it up just right and roll as heating. very easy to overcook it and not enough heat and it wont...

caber is down and taking up would be a ball ache as stud work and battens are in place. although adhesion of hardi to p5 might be a bit of an issue would pleny of screws in hardi help? or a thinner ply screwed onto p5. i have no worries about ridgitity of floor really, only adhesion of tiles...

thanks for that. changing chipboard aint an option now. so have to overboard with something. 22mm with 300 centers. span is 1.8 and using 150x50 and nogged. its rock solid. so question is 6mm hardi on the floor or ply. will look into the aquapanel.

painting a roof.. lol. not quite as bad as pressure washing them but close. shouldnt moan about pressure washing really. couple of local companies set up washing roofs. 2/3 months later i usually get a call to fix a leak and find mortar blown out of joints and valleys. but back to painting...

yeah do what smash said. something i made the mistake of leaving on when i firt started using the fleece backed sheets a few years back. also make sure foam fillers have been installed to stop blowback/splashing when heavy rain and windy

for smaller flashing jobs i use a rothenberger micro fire torch. little hand held with small mapp gas bottle. £50 and £10 for a gas bottle. so much cheaper than twin rig setups and easier to use on a roof ladder

Top coat or cap sheet Glasstex green mineral with silver solar finish? green mineral with a solar paint finish.. new one on me. .. lol

is the union fixed? i see it a lot with fitters who skip or just forget to pop a screw in the union. usually string line to get fall and fix all the brackets and unions go on when you start putting gutter up. with expansion and contraction the union can creep along and one end pops out. more so...

yeah, good ladder stand off and coverboard is easy off a ladder.. full replacement of course is another matter ..lol

if you are just cladding over the easiest and best looking way to do it is this. use a starter trim or some call it j trim. fix this to the wall under the existing soffitt. get a few fixings in so it lays straight. then if its brick run a nice clear silicone along the brick/trim edge or a...
