OK, sorted now , concrete strip footings , concrete block foundation / wall . thanks for the reply's . :)

I can assure you I am more than capable to do the job , I was just unsure about the foundations ( I know this is the most important part of the job ) whats the job with foundation blocks , these are something new to me , can these be used instead of a concrete stip , I am thinking for ease of...

OH sorry, foundation then, why would I need a SE for a 1.5 mt high wall in the garden its not the empire sate building am after constructing or any big excavations just using a shovel to make a trench. all I am needing is some advice for a suitable foundation for the type of wall structure i.e...

An SE :roll: whats one of them . :?

Hi All. I am wanting to build a retaining wall for a patio to sit on, the wall will be 10mt long x 1.5 mt high as their is a slope 1 in 3 so the 1.5 mt will fetch the height of the wall to ground level, I am intending to use hollow concrete block, but the thing I am not sure of is should I...

Hi, Has anyone used everbuild 403 concrete hardener dustproofer, if you have what are your views on it. Cheers Karl.

As you have gone to all the trouble of making a nice job so far I would myself use some decent T&G which would also last a lot longer and look better at not much extra cost than it would if you used plywood.

Hi Reb, Well I was advised to do it this way :roll: and do the ridge as I go along, its not been to hard of a job and I'm quite pleased with it so far, the top course I did do with half's but I decided they were just to short and took them off because I was not happy with the head lap...

Arr yes,, Its looking ok as I keep an eye on it as I go along and making sure that the upper runs look in line with the first course at the eaves, I can always adjust a little if need be by opening or closing the gaps as I go, at the eaves course I used them plastic eaves trays which proved a...

Cheers Al, I don't understand the question your asking ??? :?

Hi all, just thought i would share with you what I have done since the last time I was here for a bit of advice off you guys, here is a pic of the shed before I started the roof and a couple of the roof 80% complete. In my album ( exer ) thanks to all that replied to my posts. :)...

Always good to have someone else's opinion. :) :)

Cheers for that reb, I will do it that way as they are plain tiles, just one more thing you did mention a concern about weight and spread, did you read my reply to that ? :)

Cheers, I will work it out so I don't have to stand on them . :)

Hi Reb, Please explain to me how I should approach this job so I dont have to stand on any tiles, I have never done it before so your input would be appreciated , its not a big area but still the same method I guess. :) Karl.

Hi thanks for your reply, I got all the batten gauges right and I tried the first two rows as a test run and the tiles sit nicely all the way along the top of the fascia board so I am now hoping that the rest of the tiles sit the same way, the only other thing an a bit worried about is breaking...

Hi Merlin, Have you actually used this yet to make anything. :)

Another question :) A bit concerned about a possible water trap, where the fascia board top is above the line of the battens so the tiles sit correctly, you pros know how it goes 1, eaves tray 2, felt on top, 3, battens, when I nailed the first batten down for the first row it caused...

Hi Woody, rafter spacings are 600m, dips are 3 to 4 mm. :oops:
