Span for joists is 3m including overhang of 300mm. I intend fixing furrings on top of joists to provide the slope. i understand that the thin edge of the furring should be fixed 5-10mm above joist to prevent ponding. Is this correct? Should I fit fascia’s before osb boards or after them and should fascia boards butt up level against top of osb or butt up below osb boards. Intend fitting an epdm rubber roof. Thanks Keith

Hi I’m building a garden room for my son and nearly finished block work. wall plate will be levelled with mortar. I was going to use wall straps screwed into wall plate and fixed down wall. Will this be sufficient?

Hi I’m building a garden room for my son : 5m x 3m with blocks. height will be within permitted developments and will be putting a flat roof and then fibreglassed. question is with regards to wall plate. What thickness is required and are straps enough to fix in place? Thanks

Hi I’m building a block garden room for my son. Never done anything like this before but I have thoroughly researched. Footings completed and 3 courses of engineering bricks completed, 1 below ground level. Hardcore , sharp sand , DPM , rigid board and 100mm concrete to be completed next week.. will then roll out dpc and start blocking. the room measures 5m x 3m and I want to get blocks perfectly level. Would prefer to use a line laser for accuracy and I would buy one. Don’t want to pay for a rotary laser that I wouldn’t probably use again. Would a line laser provide the horizontal line I could lay blocks to , just like a string line. What are the alternatives on getting courses perfectly level. Thanks for your help
