Ah ok . I’ll go back to sleep for another 2 years . ? ?

Yeah I thought about that . But if they get damaged and need to come up …. I could just drill a hole through tread and steel then nut and bolt . But it’s a pita trying to tighten the nut when you can’t reach the bolt . No friends syndrome again ??

Cracking on with these external stairs . The steps etc are all steel . The tread is this stuff . They supply self drilling screws to attach it from underneath. But they don’t bite as well as I’d like . What I really want to do is fix down through the composite tread into the steel - just at the edges of each tread . So a shallow bolt head would be fine . What should I use though ??

I’m confused by the valuation. I thought you simply ‘finish ‘ get BCO out then 3 months to submit - and that’s it . As @ToughButterCup states I am indeed asleep at the back of the class - what have I missed ?

I plan to purchase literally everything before my claim goes in I.e the 3 month ticking bomb from sign off . So that reduces the chance of Hmrc bitching at me . Though this fight is still a good few years away from me ; I’m in the ring training !! ( boxing ring before @Onoff jumps in there )

Thanks for the mention

Bodies . Lots and lots of bodies

After movies I decided time to build a house .

Does not . Always to the right and up . Up a lot . Like really up . Maybe even almost vertical

I did think that tbh . But some like it a bit bent yeah ?

My site will never be tidy .

Yeah it was ‘bent’ before I put the treads in. Might try and knock a piece of timber in there to push it out

Got those already . Just need to fix

Bottom leg of stringer well bent . I won’t be able to hammer it out . Best way to straighten this ?? surprised how ‘bent’ the steel is - not through my efforts though !! Got to fix a balustrade arm there . Could pack it out with washers …. ?

???

I don’t know .

Just turned up . I think it’s smart ?

Coooor this steels a bitch to drill . Bought a brand new Makita steel bit and I reckon it’s blunt and I’m not even through it f ecking rubbish ! . My BM doesn’t stock Dewalt because they are twats .

Because it looks tidy that way

Might just be AO worrying needlessly. I’ll finish the stairs ; jump / slide / stamp on them . If all good will order the biggest American fridge freezer I can find ?

Yeah I asked AO about this . They seemed to be concerned about the 90cm . Perhaps an American FF can’t be lead on it’s side ???

Yeah I reckon so . Width a bit tight . Fridge freezer is 91cm . Stairs 90cm . But once I get the handrail on ( it bolts on the side ) is about 93cm . So plenty of room ?

Well smarty bolloxs . Never intended to render the walls. Will simp[ly paint then have a 'pocket sheet' thing attached to the wall for a vertical garden. SO THERE! ?

Yeah. Pissed down aswell. Still - now I have to wonder if AO.com are happy to get a 140kg fridge freezer down there ?

What a (expletive deleted) of a job ! Had to have the crane repositioned 3 times . Slinger was a new guy . Crane driver in a piss . Started at 8am , now 2pm - it was a nightmare ! Stringers in . As expected it wobbles like (expletive deleted) as no bolts to the wall along the middle run . So I’ll drill a few holes into the steel and add some . The guys mellowed up towards the end so I bought them coffee , sausage roll and doughnuts . Also lobbed them some cash each . They could of stopped as it was so problematic. One said “ I’m not a staircase installer “ - he was told just 2 lifts to the garden . I appreciated their efforts . So @joe90 could I have done with your extra set of hands ? YES ?
