Youtube has answered A plate between the top of the wall and the panel, then the eaves flashing goes over the top. The water falls between the two.

Anyone there? The hub seems a quiet slow place these days. Either that or I've upset you all 🙂

Good for you.

After a frustrating time getting damaged deliveries of channels, I scrapped using a recommended supplier from this here hub and found a new supplier closer to home where a perfectionist could collect and transport the good themselves. Also, the top rail came in one piece (5750mm cut to length) which was an interesting 27 mile drive on top of a Volvo V50. But we have started... First piece not quite vertical as two wedges missing from kit. Being posted out to arrive over weekend

On our old house the tarmac drive went tight up to the concrete garage floor, just a little lower, I guess to minimise water being driven into the garage. The drive sloped away from the garage. Just poured our garage slab/floor and I went for level, but didn't achieve it. I need to self level a portion to stop liquid collecting at the back of the garage. I guess that is DPC showing? In which case any concrete should end up below that anyway. What is the channel? Sounds like you may need a step at the fire door.

Eurocell? [Called Bill and Ted 🙂 ]

I want to use an insulated box panel system to roof the new garage using something like below (single pitch about 5 degrees) and am thinking about how to finish the ends of the panels, in particular the gutter end. I can only seem to find "flat" eaves flashing which talk about it being installed underneath the roof panel. Anyone fitted similar product? How have you finished the gutter end?

In my case, the handrails came in such cardboard tubes. However, in this particular case all three have started to come apart. I've decided the whole lot is being returned for a refund and I'll go somewhere else here in Kernow that has been recommended. In a strange way, I am happy to hear that there are many other examples of crap packaging and delivery techniques happening across the country

Did it work?

I know I'm a perfectionist and like many self builders have an OCD gene, but for the love of all that you hold dear, why do suppliers insist on sending easily damaged goods (aluminium balustrade channel in this case) the length if the country, to be handled multiple times from one truck to another to the final long wheel based van, wrapped in no more than a single ply corrugated box? Now my second set has arrived, damaged again, after I sent photos of the damage and politely suggested they wrap the ends with a bit more protection. This time the face of one piece has also been badly scratched. I wouldn't mind if it was going to be hidden behind something else, but the whole channel will be visible. Then I find out they stop work at 2pm (WTF?!!!!!) on a Friday. Let's see what Monday brings when I talk to them less calmly than last time.

Would have looked even better with one of David's cars there 😉

Usually one right angle which fits on the back of the appliance.

Diamond drill bit? https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-hex-shank-diamond-tile-drill-bit-6mm-x-67mm/51908

Susie and David, That is coming along really well. Well done with the wet room and kitchen - both looking very nice. Susie, take care of yourself and don't rush back into it if you're not fully fit. Get well soon.

Clarifying. The "wall" was dryer than standard. Then he upped the water to get to right mix. Levelling the "wall" was hard work in the heat, but it has all set off well and no cracks (that i can see throught the current muddy puddle!!) See above about my want for level. Its not got to be billiard table, but better than it is.
