Yup, nice to hear that news. Decking is easy and it will finish off that elevation so much...get it done before the world cup!

Right, it's off on its way to BC...100% DIY including making the block plan from the assessors website and drawing a red box in Paint!

3. EPDM TO EPDM. Splice tape good. Contact adhesive also good with a 3" overlap and nice tidy (no ripples) contact. In this weather it should be fine, the rubber is soft and malleable. Take your time and press it all tight together. Roller is good but ONLY on a flat surface, otherwise you'll stress the rubber at high points. Go poster!

Pop along to Screwfix and take it with you...they should let you have a go before buying a box of 5000 After all you could take the packet outside, give it a go and if no good get a full refund...next size, rinse and repeat ???

Okay, no laughing I've made my own drawings for BC for this knock a wall that's doing (expletive deleted) all (much) anyway down. Will these helpful public servants tell me where to go...or is this enough alongside the engineers report which has all the load bearing numbers etc...

Whoo hoo Time to get the tile cutter out?

I think you're going to need lead (or other flexible) flashing to be able to cope with the bendy bits...that solid stuff won't do for that wall.

Hey Ali It's looking fantastic and quality takes time? Hope it keeps working out?

And you thought you'd be in by Christmas ????

3" bolt cutters and a friend ?

Very, very nice, well done ?

St Andrews day party it is, I'll bring the fireworks ??

Give @Onoff a shout, he will make you one for a tenner and a bottle of Stella ???

Think Gove is one of our better exports south...what's the word...Makita, no spade, oops the word I'm searching for works best when prefaced by *complete" TOOL

Nice writing style...keep us up to date and the forum will weild it's magic. ???

Why not avoid the crowds and give up on the ugly downlights...go Spanish and TILE the soffits... @Nickfromwales could do it lying on his back?

Ahem...45 sq/m for £10k???

Wowsers...not a normal looking roof frame...nothing holding the roof up? Guess the wallplate is bombproof and everything compresses the ridge beam? Looks smashing ?

Yes But No... But Hmmm... No, yes I mean it should but No

Always a good day... pleased for you, well done, now the real work begins ???

Yes, for most of it...it's a bedroom above but the first floor landing is above so not the whole wall all the way up. Yes, could leave that little stub in...

The stub with the light switch is 300mm The bit above the blue arrow is original, without chipping the plaster away I'm not sure but it's solid so probably lintel/block

Looks like these https://www.buildingsuppliesdirect.com/timco-ld-bent-restraint-strap-ss-range?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxN_XBRCFARIsAIufy1ag1NToOqcljhMAtDf6AazYPhsAmMlU_gTmtzwsYufRhLh9wxGXxc0aAgEVEALw_wcB Cheap so why not put em in...

This help? The wall with the door is the one that will be going...

Like this...? Pocket made on each wall, remove bricks, insert padstone, rest steel on top ensuring the steel sits on the whole surface area...i.e. a bit longer than the padstone?
