Ramallah is not in Gaza, nor is it a building. It is a city in The West Bank. You're showing as much awareness of reality as rds60h. But thank you for addressing me with such reverence. Now you can get up off your knees.

You are either misguided, misinformed or intentionally talking utter nonsense: But please continue to discredit yourself, if you wish.

Despite your previous dismissal of the truth, I thank you for your compliment: I must admit I had to look up the definition of Himmy.

You are as poorly informed and as equally denying of the truth as @fillyboy. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics is not in Gaza, and it is nothing to do with Hamas. The data and information it provides is considered reliable and credible. On that basis of your comments, it is not...

As others have said, your comment is factually incorrect. Also the crime of Genocide is not defined by the results, but by the actions and intentions for those actions. In the ICC the evidence will be about what was intended, not what was achieved. Over 70,000 dead including women and...

An update: I've ordered a new oak beam, picking it up on Monday. I was gobsmacked at the price, just over €1000. I think the first one I bought many years ago was about €350, then the second one was probably about €450, the third one, several years ago was probably about €600. I've removed most...

Yes, good suggestion which I had not considered. As you say, ugly but workable. It think it will create a problem of providing a workable support for the floor joists. Creating the 'elbow' in the replaced crook frames required flitch plates. The originals were created by natural bent timber...

Yes, the feet are built into the wall. When I replaced the crook frame, the one outside wall comprising blocks was reduced to the beam height already. And the other side I had to remove a fair bit of stone to expose the bottom of the crook frame.

Thanks for your interest Stephen. Yes. It's original function was to prevent the crook frames spreading, and to carry the load of the upstairs floor, which was more of a barn loft for storing straw and maybe animal feed. The block wall below it would not have been there. There was originally a...

So here is the view of the top of the problem beam And a wider view As I see it I have three choices: 1. Replace the beam entirely. The problem with that, and which I never had with the other three replacements, is that this one has the bottom of the crook frame attached to the beam ends, and...

Hello all. I hope to get your thoughts on my problem. First, the situation is I am on the last (of 9 beams) 30 X 30cm Oak beam repair or replacement, or sistering with Oak joists. Of the 9, I have replaced 3, and repaired and sistered another. The remaining 5 have been OK. So I am not phased by...
