Acos going in

RSJs also arrived today for the retaining wall

.

First day

Always! Poor drill has had its work cut out over the past few years!

.

Next up patio! Been holding off for a while as saving the pennies! Plan is about 4m off from the back of the house Site is on a slight slope so oak sleeper retaining wall across the back with steps in the middle recessed spot lights in sleepers matt black RSJ’s to mount the sleepers in Gone for a tumbled limestone similar to the interior to keep a cottage theme/ look will be around 80m2 in total going down each side of the house and section behind the garage

Garage work benches were sorted ages ago and all fitted

Many thanks all Think my decision will be hot dip galvanised then paint as above

Thanks all Only issue id be concerned with on bitumen paint is it going soft/ tacky in hot weather? Also can a decent finish be achieved?

It’s mainly for the asthetics John to be honest The tallest part approx 11m wide may end 4-5 high worst case Also longer term will make replacing sleepers easier if ever required but going oak so hopefully won’t need to

Retaining wall wise it should be fairly light work around 3 sleepers high Painting was my other option was just trying to get away from having to repaint every couple of years but maybe pay off in the long run by the sounds of it!

Nothing special just matt black ideally. Just the place that can supply the powder coated RSJ’s are saying the powder coat finish will last a very long time which I’m unsure on Sure the football club house we were at today had powder coated beams and surface type rust was coming through which made me think if powder coating is the best way to go in a garden

Afternoon all, Has anyone here used powder coated RSJ’s for a retaining wall? Looking to see if the powder coated route will be better than painted longer term? Reservation is any damage to powder coat will be hard to touch up/ stop flaking etc longer term Cost wise powder does not appear to be a great deal more

Sorry update on this guys! Finally got hold of the original installer and they came out yesterday. Does seem like part of my NVR is fried Not enough voltage to the camera ports I think. They called Serage and they logged in to the NVR remotely and diagnosed so awaiting outcome All the Serage stuff has a 3 year warranty so see what happens!

This was stressful at the time as brick can make or break aesthetics If I did it again I would make more of an effort to mock a small area up before pulling the trigger on bricks Got away with it and bricks settled in nicely, personally I’d rather of had more of a tumbled farmhouse style brick/ less red but had to be something the wife liked as well Maybe would have paid extra for lighter mortar also

Please see attached info for a couple of the devices on the list

Yes says connect fail I'm afraid I’m out at the moment, will try and sort the above when home Many thanks for the help on this, hopefully simple, the strange one is only one camera showing on the system, the other 2 must have power as red lights are on when looking outside

Yes screen shots were from the NVR Do you need a screen shot of the router list?

Yes sorry also logged in to router and the NVR is not showing on there
