As long as you have vibrated/tamped your concrete in the planter to get rid of the air bubbles I think the end result will be OK

Interesting comment, on an evenly loaded floor half the load is carried at each end of the joist which is resisted by whatever the shear resistance of the joist is, the nearer a point load is to that end the greater the shear force. Since more than half the joist has been cut away the shear...

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Unfortunately not. My return on shares over the past year has been about 20% which includes their gains and the dividends reinvested so at £5000 a week care fees for me and the wife we could last for about a year ( not taking into account govt pensions and company pension)...

Yes its nice to make/save a few bob but at the end of the day there are a lot more important things in our lives. Hope things work out OK

You could assume the rafters are normal rafters supported with a central beam and see what the calcs throw up re BM and deflection. Width ,depth and span required and dead load of tiles and if those short braces actually rest on a supporting wall below assume they act as a purlin this...

Or possibly the outlet pipework rises to an Invert Level the same height as your standing water level in the plug hole, unfortunately to remedy that would mean taking off the bath panel and checking the pipework

Perhaps things may redistribute when you get the design snow load on the roof (75kg/m2 standard) which will then double or more the load that the current concrete tiles give (40 -80kg/m2) and the "lot of weight" becomes a lot lotter. I should imagine a SE will run a mile if asked to look at your...

Put a towel under the rad and open the air bleed valve and let it issue water for a couple on minutes whilst the heating is on and see if any warmth comes through the pipe, I assume its a combi boiler so put the pressure up to 1.5 bar so it doesn't cut the boiler out.

Well I don't need any bacteria just reading the above has made me off my head, heres to your speedy recovery

All depends what load the steel is carrying and what it is bearing onto. Plausible for it to be supported by the existing brickwork with slate between to make up the spacing. Slate crushing strength between 70 - 200N/mmm2, your supporting brickwork wii probably have a compressive strength of...

It's your cock put it anywhere you want to

Hope not my shares have been plodding along nicely for a few weeks

When he does make sure you he gives you the dynamic pressure at the meter and hopefully one at the kitchen tap so the losses in the supply pipe are determined which can then be crossed checked with the theoretical losses.

Well if I was asked to draw a front elevation of your house it could be at the walls looking from the South or the walls looking from the West, either way your proposed extension would be behind the walls forming the principal elevation view as per comment 4. It certainly looks as if the...

Winters coming ........... now I remember in 1963..........

Wait for the 75kg/m2 of snow loading to happen ;-)

As Wayners states, appears to be just a strengthening of existing timbers probably due to doubling of roof weight due to conc tiles, all looks good. Funny thing is if it hadn't been strengthened you would have looked in loft and thought looks OK up here (unless things had started to bend but...

Statistically he'll be dead and if he got to that age he probably would not care a monkies or understand whats happening about him
