    Garage Back Door slightly to Wide

    Thanks. I've got a cordless 165mm circular saw. I'm guessing a straight edge as a guide and fine tooth blade is best to use. Just approx how deep are the ribs usually ?

    DPC over Facia Capping

    Ok, Thanks all, It seemed like a good idea, and looked kinda tidy when I put the first section of capping up, but had the feeling that there must be a reason why I shouldn't be doing it this way. That's why I didn't go any further until I got some experienced advice. Its off now and I'll...
