Rage 3 dB does look tempting ; with the stand .

Top tool ! whenbit says dust extraction what is stuck at the end of that tube ? Just a Henry ?? ?

Of course ! Just looking !!! New toy .... ?

Ignoring the 16A to drive it

Maybe ? https://www.screwfix.com/p/scheppach-hsm-3500-350mm-heavy-stone-tile-saw-240v/6632G?kpid=6632G&ds_kid=92700034760867914&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249407&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249481&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpoCF68CV3gIVEOh3Ch1ERAdQEAQYFCABEgJa5_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CI_slI3Bld4CFZc8GwodgGINqA

I googled it . Probably ! But £££££££ ?

Hey Is there just a thing ? Tried to make one - wasn’t too good ? I’m looking for something that allows a perfectly straight cut - not easy when cutting a paver with a full sized angle grinder . Thought there might be a ‘guide’ like you get with a circular saw - but it appears not ...

It’s not clear too me at all if these pedestals can ‘slope’ the pavers I.e allow for a sloped paver .

Architect recommended rubber roof guy coming to look next week . Watch him laugh ☹️

Yeah i think the architect wants the ‘parking area’ to have a raised kerb at the edges . You could still drive over it ; break the tile and stilt then embed your wheel in my rubber roof ?

I think I have a solution . Agree that the edpm protected is best - but nice to be able to find a leak and get to it if an issue . One thing I never liked was the water running level with the glazing . The stilts offer perfect drainage solution for that . This stilt on edpm is used ( forgetting vehicle’s ) plenty of examples for terraces / roof gardens etc . I guess the edpm could be ‘protected’ via some other means ; or perhaps a thin layer of concrete . That way edpm protected . Stilt sits on thin concrete layer . Glazing has zero drainage issues - water can never get that high . When I break back to the 35mm concrete - obviously this will be damaged and cratered . It could then be screeded with a fall to the front and a ‘channel’ made in the form work . Rubber over the lot means even the channel gets water proofed and is built in . This sounds like all requirements are met ; yeah ?? ?

I take your point . Most likely failure point though must be edges / flashing . Also the stilted solution means no water at skylight level - skylight never gets swamped in water . Trying to solve multiple problems with this scenario ?

If exposed edpm gets damaged I thought it could be fixed / patched ?? After all that was the original plan on the upstands

This is my main worry now and water at skylight level . The solution I have solves those issues . Some thought on falls and drainage make it do able . No way am I concereting over rubber . Even if it was leak free I don’t want to be posting back here 20 years later I have a leak . I want my rubber to be like any other roof I.e I can get to it

The architect originally wanted the pavers bed in concrete for extra waterproofing ☹️. This still puts water level potentially flush with sky lights although you say a drain . Surely the stilted pavers mean the skylight glass never gets water anywhere near the top .

If I have a new rubber membrane over the concrete that’s great . But I still have to make the fall and bed the pavers in concrete - therefore covering the rubber in concrete again effectively. Draining under the stilted slabs is the issue ; due to no fall . That needs to be solved somehow .

Pedestrian; but that’s ok ; only need it to the sides of my parking bay

Just found that the company that do those feet also do a protection mat deliberately to stop it damaging the rubber . Good news .

I agree again 100% But I’d have to break out 35mm of reinforced concrete ( and there is a risk I could damage the rubber ) . Equally as you say I could damage any new edpm with a new concrete pour - I’m then back at square 1 . I’d rather have a rubber roof that can be serviced . You are probably right I know that . But I’d sleep better with a new rubber roof that can be accessed if any issues . I don’t want to hear that drip drip in the night .... ?

Agreed But I’m still unhappy with a potential leak in the future . I’m want my rubber roof accessible. good workmanship seems to be in limited supply

I think I’m well beyond finding the leak ! The particular glass I dug around seems ok visually . Can’t trust ANY of this rubber is best !

But @JSHarris what do you think of my hybrid solution?? ?

The parking area is the real fly in the ointment!!

https://www.wallbarn.com/adjustable-plastic-paving-support-pads/ I *guess* it would be best to make the fall on the existing concrete under the new rubber layer . Not sure how to do this . Next issue would be what it drains to . I guess if a fall can constructed so can a gulley .... just thinking out loud ! ?
