Depends on the clear span between walls and ceiling joists centres as well as load, as to what depth joists you need. Avoid sag at all costs! Minimum fall I think is 1:80 for a flat roof. You can still run into issues if your roof sheets ply/osb sag a little and form shallow depressions. The rule of thumb I think is to design for 1:40 and you'll likely end up with a bit less due to build inaccuracies etc but it'll work out right.

I just remember being impressed you'd managed to pi$$ that high and stain the grout so uniformly.

Just how sad are we? 😂 I went over each flint last night with a small, soft stone in the Dremel: What I need to find is maybe a spray lacquer that will give the flints a wet look and at the same time seal and protect the mortar. Ideally it'll get in the gaps if the mortar has shrunk away from the flints though so far so good. Hopefully that's the plasticiser and lime working.

Guessing he might have to. Apparently the door/tray seals are obsolete. Likely the new tray might therefore come up short and leave a nice gap to fill. Reckons it's only really affected the floor about a metre outwards!

Never finishing can be a bonus 😉

Trying and struggling to get some cheap s/hand railway sleepers at the mo to ring fence the veg patch. Keep missing out on Gumtree. I've even ventured onto FB Marketplace.

Tray failure. Water has gotten behind the tiles etc. The chap who's this is reckons he can get away with removing just the bottom tiles 😂 Told him he's on a loser, that it needs coming off and redoing, tanking etc. Then the new tiles brought down onto a generous CT1 bed etc. Whatever, he's after a tile matching service. Any ideas?

Can I plant in bagged compost or do I need "soil"?

You'd prefer a more traditional, thick round shaped door opener?

Right then 50 little cardboard pots from the Poundshop sat in the seed tray. How do I plant the beans? Half fill with compost,push the bean in then cover?

Because you'd recognise his back door?

Best he starts now! 😂

The dust produced is incredible and just as likely to pi$$ neighbours off when it covers their cars/exacerbates little Johnny's asthma etc. A water fed saw is great but you still have the coloured run off / resultant spoil to deal with. Luckily I have no near neighbours 😉

The ones with the round holes in are not actually engineering bricks. Just the bottom 4 courses are, the ones with the slotted holes: The round hole ones were basically these though a slightly different design with no small holes in like now: https://www.selcobw.com/65mm-tuscan-red-brick The Evo saw / diamond blade cut them like a knife through butter. I do have to cut some slips shortly, so lengthways which will be fun. This to dress around the control boxes. Clamps will very much be the order of the day!

It just keeps getting better! 👍

You want to curry favour with that one...

BDSM?

It's about a gay nightclub owner. How can I even compete? Don't you lot grow palm trees overnight down there? Hopefully planting in pots tomorrow. Pics to follow.

Hmmm...John Brown / Bob Dylan or two fit Pakistani American sisters? Well call me a dirty old man.....

There's a robin nesting in the lhs pillar as aforementioned. Never liked acid house. Quite into Krewella at the moment.

Halved my bricks using an Evolution Rage 3 chop saw with and Evolution 255mm diamond blade:

For the stubborn bits of mortar I might go with neat acid. Just gave another 1:1 dilute wash and rinse off. The fines in the mortar are coming through. I'll let it dry out over the Summer then give a coat of waterproofer. You can see how the washed face is "brighter" on the brick faces. @Marvin reckons it's a gate that says "f*** off!" 😂 Aim achieved then!

It's been a while since Mr Onoff has had afternoon crumpet...

I allowed the widely accepted, mm per year, screed drying time before I tiled. This just to be on the safe side.

Blame Peter!
