Did you complete this job? do you have any pics? Well can't seem to get hold of the roofer, after I told him I was going to complete the tiling and only wanted him to do the grp section.so looks like I'm going to give this a go myself, I have a few pics of were I'm up to and before I go any further id like some advice. Can I use the wall trim in pic 1 as won't be much expansion and contraction? Is there any tips for pic 2 going up the roof ,was just going to run osb and grp it as high as i can get, or should there be a trim? In my very first post there is a gable pic where the verge tile will run into a parapet coping stone, similar to pic 3 what will be the best way to waterproof that section? i would also like to ask, I don't want the grp showing unless necessary, can i finish of in lead and how's it best to go from the grp to lead ? Sorry for all the questions Regards James

We are in the middle of a selfbuild, money is tight and not really got a time frame to stick to. But I’ve found that trying to get anyone to come is very difficult, if you use a project manager then they will have all the contacts and will organise everything very efficiently. But it’s gonna cost you . regards James

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will give you the correct answer, but just a couple of things in the mix. what about a larger pad stone, make it insitu? then steel will be correct height, or cut a small bit off the first course of blocks and run a course of engineering bricks. Regards James

Thanks for explaining that, I understand now.

Sorry to sound a little thick but I’m not sure what you mean. Could you maybe word it so I might understand. Regards. James
