Tennentslager

Back from holiday, first time I’ve chosen Aberdeenshire, lovely people, lovely wee fishing village, everyone great with CV19 precautions and so nice to sit outside and have a pint. Anyhow, started today. Decided to drop the posts 500 below the decking, batten and screw into the joists then shutter around that and pour in a cement and stone mix. Think it will withstand the winter gales. Two of the big corner posts in, two more then the wall plate and I’ll post more pictures then

I did not fit a dimmer so nothing I can say about that. Vendor was https://www.lampshoponline.com/40w-led-panel-6000k-600mm-x-600mm-c-w-driver.html looks like inflation has put the price up a bit but still £23 per panel. BTW they came packed (from the factory in 4s including the mounting kit)

Welcome Steve Interesting handle, wouldn’t like to imagine the accident if you were Steve_cock_off ?

Lovely post, lovely family, hope you enjoy it for many years. i bet you will love two toilets over one any day

Can you not handball it with help if it’s that light? sorry if it’s a stupid question but 5 pals on site and...

I’m concreting in 4 big posts for my gazebo and have a load of ballast from digging up path edges which had decorative stone edges. its a mix of stones and sharp sand and a little soil and odds bits of detritus is this okay to add cement and use like postcrete? other than some soil ( not a lot) I’m thinking this will work?

Top hinged? and those piston things like on a hatchback?

Unless and I don’t think you have little people open plan is simple and neat. 3 year old nieces may fall in the stream but doubt they will drown, 7 year olds will swing underneath and laugh?

Ryder Services in Moffat will deliver 4@ 150mm redwood posts PAR and treated for £202 including delivery and VAT I’m happy at £50 each? Photos will be along in a week or so as well as questions about a cut hipped roof, never done anything like it before

Welcome Jim i wonder if 5 little people count half when sizing a treatment plant!

Thank you but out of stock (the website just said we don’t deliver to your postcode...? Cumbernauld is 5 miles from me) i have found a place in Moffat that I can phone tomorrow and ask?

Unfortunately not but that’s exactly what I need and a very nice price too!

Okay so I’ve decided to go ahead and drop the uprights into a hefty pit and concrete them in. spent close to a grand today on timber, tiles, paint and whatnot but the timber guys could not do the 4 uprights I need 4 @ 130mm square planed at 3m in length, nice bullnose chamfered but I can do that myself if need be. They will be stained possibly painted. where does a man get a hold of such?

Well good luck I’m sure it will be stunning? hope you inspect it and have bought at least 10% more then you need? then you can stick odd bits up for sale for a tenner

Lovely looking job so far...

That robot...

What are you buying ? whats it for and have you enough for breakages

55p do not cheap!!

He is on a secret mission, goes on one every now and then...he be back in 6/7/8 months most likely

Welcome Peter

North Glasgow so winter winds can be wild and it’s a little exposed. 3.5m sq, same shape as the wrecked Aldi fabric gazebo, killed by last nights May winds. New Expensive patio furniture is on order and it’ll protect this in winter too It’s to cover this decking, meets Scottish permitted development rules, snip The permitted development rules for an ancillary building are: it's located at the back of the house it's not used as a separate home to live in it, and any other development, does not take up half or more of the 'curtilage' – this means half or more of the grounds behind your home it's not higher than 4 metres at the highest point any part that's a metre or less from the boundary is no higher than 2.5 metres the eaves (the part where the wall meets the roof) is no higher than 3 metres if the land is in a conservation area or in the grounds of a listed building, the ancillary building has a footprint of less than 4 square metres something like this but just posts on the corners. How to anchor the posts? Roof structure for a square hipped roof, I’m not bad with timber but by no means professional? I’m inclined towards a beefy structure with say 6x2’s for the perimeter of the roof edge? Appearance from underneath, thinking frame it, paint/stain the frame and then sheet it in ply (maybe pre painted in a contrast from the frame) then felt tiles as they easy and neat? Don't plan gutters but maybe? id welcome the collective knowledge...

If you’re properly whacky then regulation means owt Go for it ?

He made a nice timber frame on top of the existing corrugated roof and I thought he was going to sheet it But he then stretched shed felt across it and used black bitumen to join the felt! Hes new to the street and very reserved and I sort of wanted to walk over and say something but he had already done a few strips by the time I saw it and thought I’d just leave him to it...

Ach rubbish post, in the video he scribes the floor then lays a very thick granite tile and the ‘what’s this’ is the hand held power tool that vibrates and forces the tile downwards
