  1. It was from garage doors online It wasn’t a real colour so an extra 150 £825 all in 6 years ago 3.7 wide x2000 Full kit everything there It took wife and myself 3 hours to fit We built a garage for my know it all neighbor He bought and fitted his himself and had all sorts of problems As he fitted the Motor on the wrong side which made it upside down Quick fix Took us four hours as he wouldn’t listen They ask you which side you are fitting the motor as it’s built into the bar It’s one of those things that one d you fitted one it’s a doddle One unit two runners slat door electric box
  2. Yes I’ve done this and used a 12.5 cement board Mesh and base coat Then 15 mil top coat Scraped You can get the tapered effect using beads
  3. We fitted a roller doors on our previous build Very simple to fit Electrics are colour coded The only difficult thing that we found was feed the roller door in While Im a strapping 6”4 and 15.5 stone My wife is 5”6 and 8 stone We managed But could have done with another pair of hands
  4. If you set the vertical Chanel’s at 400 You don’t need a top or bottom Chanel Or of your using 15 mil boards You can stay at 600
  5. It’s a system well used in France I’ve never really seen the point or seen it used here Gypliner is a quick and easy system for the inexperienced Track on the floor and ceiling Nail your.bracketss 600 apart set your laser to the tracks Open your brackets Cut them off where the laser hits It really as easy as that post some pics on anywhere you get stuck
  6. There’s only one way Bolt a timber into the beam and use hangers It may not fit quite flush You can add a rip of ply to make it fit flush Then a real quick easy job to fix a row of hangers
  7. If it was the planners originally objecting Not a busy buddy neighbor It’s unlikely anyone will notice or care about the pitch BC won’t get involved or care I personally would push on where others may air on the side of caution In the unlikely event that it was picked up You would simply go the retrospective route
  8. The sparks on sites are qualified up to there eyeballs Because they don’t have to pay for an assessment and don’t loose a couple of days pay
  9. It’s like going to Weatherspoon’s and expecting a fine dining experience
  10. I’ve a friend who only does small private jobs As he’s in his 70s Ever time his certificate assessment comes up he says it’s his last
  11. There’s a lot of jobber electricians that arnt able to certify As they haven kept up But if he can it’s handy to have
  12. I prefer to get the newels and rails in and set each one out individually
  13. Hopefully you have your cil in place Only build one at once to keep your cil in place and also claim your vat back
