It's a generic joist hanger ffs! Think harder.

Yep, same as the ones you used last time! 😂 They'll be galvanised steel not aluminium I suspect.

Don't forget you tend to induce mission creep in people, asking the same stuff they've invested time in answering before! 😂

Two nuts on one end of the length of the studding, tightened against each other are real useful for holding that end.

The other thing I do is protect the stud thread sticking out with tape. Means the resin doesn't get in the threads.

With studs in concrete we'll some times give them a little tweak in the right direction with either a length of pipe slipped over them or two nuts on the end and a club hammer. Your best best likely to enlarge the odd hole in the timber. Should have pre drilled the ledger, drilled through to spot the wall, removed ledger, drilled to depth. Put all the studs in in one hit. Pump in the resin push in a stud, onto the next. Ledger would have slipped on pretty much with the odd tweak on the stud with a club hammer.

I've just bought a 6kW diesel genny...not sure why other than it was cheap.

Well done on staggering home from the pub with that table!

Just the prologue.

Not my first rodeo. You can at a push use an ordinary hole saw say 25mm dia to counterbore. Or even a router if you make a jig. Bit of a knack to cutting studs to length with an angle grinder. I cut to length with a 0.8 or 1mm slitting disc. Then take the burr off and buff the end with a flap disc. My nuts fit every time.

Sounds like you need a 24mm flat wood bit.

You could glue in a round of timber, let it set and re-drill the hole(s). Made a start though so 👍

I've read up on reactivating or whatever the resin, you can get a special "stuff" 😂

I got mine from @Gone Westand I still haven't used it...

Matchsticks or cocktail stick to help keep the studs level. Put the smaller washer at the back of the tube if you want. I can't remember what it was for! 😂

Is that it the whole crop? Now then, do you just top and tail or string the sides too?

Had our first crop of runners the other night. Simply top and tailed, chopped with scissors and boiled. With some fish cakes. Very nice. Somebody said you can eat them with butter? I really want to try a runner bean chutney recipe.

@Oxbow16, you'll note I've retro fitted soffit vents. Easy to do.

Sitting here mulling the same question. I often do. As I'd like to do EWI, a warm, new roof and hip to gable conversion I figure that would negate all the new soffits and fascias if I did them now. So I carry on mulling and do nothing... Tbh it's only time and money stopping me 😂

Says it's used for "exterior cladding" so all good imo:

Just make sure it says for exterior use. Don't forget anything outside will be rated for frost proof etc whereas stuff in a bathroom wouldn't need to be. For example: https://www.knauf.co.uk/store/aquapanel-cement-board-outdoor/c-23/p-555

You misunderstand, post the link if you can. There's ways of finding out. I won't ask again, got my own shit to do without going over old ground because you can't remember what you used.

Got the link? May be able to find it still.

Wow, that was a mistake. I went back and read this: I've now a headache coming on and have just taken two paracetamol.

Me and a mate were using glass capsules to try and fix angle iron to a wall. We were young and had no idea. The capsules kept falling into the cavity 😂 Went down to the local car spares place and bought a big tub of body filler. Stuffed the holes with scrunched up newspaper then put the studs in with body filler trowelled into the holes. That was 35 years ago and the place/extension is still standing. I remember telling the BCO and him being quite happy.
