    Skirting - What type of nail gun - hire or buy?

    For the architrave - glue and fine pins or pre drill the architrave because you would be fixing near to the edge chance of it splitting. The architrave is only set back 5-10mm so you should have timber to fix to. Yep makes it easier priming it first before fixing it, prime it both sides...

    C24 Timber Shakes

    I've got a workshop on the go and unfortunately didnt check the timber that arrived at the time as I should have done! It's for my workshop and so not overly worried about the shakes and imperfections as they dont go all the way through. I just wanted other chippies opinions, is this typical of...

    Extension pitched roof
