  1. Basically this fag packet sketch drawn on a lurching train! The key really is 4 triangles as aforementioned. The angle where the sloping sections meet the vertical sides of the mould, no problem. Just need to figure where the day A edge meets B edge. Fire up the CAD! (Just realised I haven't shown the drip bead mouldings).
  2. The pillar is 2x2 bricks so 450x450mm. I want a 50mm overhang around the edges with the drip bead say 25mm in from the edge. Overall height 130mm so a 65mm pyramid sat atop a 65mm slab. Just got to calculate & cut, 4 precise, triangles that will butt up and glue to each other to form the pyramid.

    I've hammered mine and it's been great, the Makita powered Chinesium mini chainsaw too.
  4. Thanks. I think I did start to model it in AutoCAD...might have given it to my lad to model in Fusion...can't remember. Sometimes even if I can do something easier/quicker I'll give it to him to excercise his CAD skills.
  5. I can't help thinking...buy a commercial, metal door and repaint it! Meant to take photos at work of the edge/corner details but this might help. Ours are all interlock seamed:
  6. You're correct. I'm getting confused! His pallet shed was a separate thread!
  7. And that's where you're wrong! ? They can look alright but there's a bit of compromise. I built one with the nephew. The key is getting the same pallets ideally. Even then you might find a tub of Screwfix's finest plastic shims a great help. Decent square base. Then a 4x2 sole plate all round, itself sat on a strip of dpm. Butt them together and screw. You will need some reclaimed bits let in to and screwed to the bottom line of pallets and the ones that'll sit on top. You'll have to cut/adapt pallets for doorways and windows. Pallets were painted as it progressed. Membrane the whole lot outside. I left him to it to do the roof. You need to let in sections to form a wall plate at the top. He clad the inside again, with pallet wood: Clad. In this case various trimmings from a DIY lumber mill. Painted & with "Dad" sign and bird box! Reclaimed front door. To be fair this was my nephew's first proper DIY project on his own and I think it came out alright. When he started a square was a novelty, now he uses a bevel gauge! I still catch my head on that corner of the front fascia. Mind you he's a porg. Make or buy a pallet buster btw! https://youtu.be/cvG5pe62DsE I think @ProDave built one too essentially to mount his DIY PV array.
  8. Some of it! They say the camera never lies...it does! ? Tbf this is one of the better areas but thanks anyway.
  9. Not the same stuff...FloPlast Miniflow? I was expecting him to shop around price wise but maybe not...
  10. Difficult to see under there tbh...it's a dark photo. Cut down, re-drill and paint the cut end and drilled hole an option. Multi-tool the top of the wall and let them in without cutting the bracket maybe? Could you not just cut some timber blocks from say 4*2 and screw on from the inside. Cut them at an angle so they butt up to the roof timbers. Then affix the gutter brackets to those?
  11. Crap attempt at marking up the pic but if you look underneath the side overhangs can you see the ends of the angled roof timbers? What the fascia board butts up to...
  12. I'm going to make an upside down mould like this if I can figure the "pyramid" maths to cut the bits. I'll then fill from the top and vibrate it so it hopefully fills the voids:
  13. Not yet filled. Now white silicone.
  14. Forever White silicone. In part as the complete bath end panel and one side panel can be removed for access.
  15. It's the sort of project that can be done on the cheap if you've a mate who runs a fabrication company etc or you can slip it through with another job. You need to be careful at the junction where the two 'Ls" meet so as to avoid sharp edges and corners etc.
  16. A decent sheet metal place could fold you two L shaped skins, each having a face and an edge. Taken a bit further you could have apertures such as for letter boxes and hinges pre cut via laser or water jet.
  17. They're are if it's me. My bathroom floor was like a billiard table.....before I tiled it!
  18. How's the cabin and decking looking / standing up? Do you use it much?
  19. I would only ever use a tile levelling system if and when I tile again.
  20. Or...use full tiles for the bulk or the area then edge with a timber infill rather than cutting tiles...
  21. Use mini guttering: https://www.guttersupplies.co.uk/mini-gutters/mini-gutters-for-sheds-greenhouses/
  22. I stuck my tiles direct to marine ply with CT1 Grab n Bond:
  23. @Construction Channel made his:
  24. Cheers. I only need to make 2 caps so these would do: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Tarmac-Plastering-Sand---Major-Bag/p/131886 Plus some of my hydrated lime!
