daiking Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Balls. Not enough felt to cover the ridge. I used it on the Wendy house. Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I need is to get my arse in gear and make a rotisserie so I can at least spin the S through 90deg. Then push it over to one side a bit. That might give me more room to actually set to work on the Cabaret. The big issue is the amount of collected trim etc which I could do with storing elsewhere. It's why I'm relooking at creating storage space up in the truss rafters. I can sell you a 2 post lift -then you can stack them Edited April 10, 2020 by scottishjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got 2320mm (7'3") though from finished floor to the underside of the trusses in the garage. (I really must recheck that, seems low). Just come back from using (one of) the BiL's 2 poster actually, his outside one. I had another go at the wife's 206. I replaced the bearing in the AC compressor pulley a while back and cured the long term whine but was left with an annoying squeak. Turns out I must have bent the pulley last time doing the bearing. Deft application of his 20T press and I managed to straighten it out. All back together and no squeak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds scary with the concrete tiles still on! Money no object I'd have new roof trusses made, taller with a "room in the roof" profile.

JFDIY Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've got some props here that'll do it, RSJs with lorry trailer 'landing legs' on top, good for about 20T each, let me know if you want them. Been in the nettles four years and can't see me doing much with them any time soon. I made them to hold up an oak frame barn so I could dismantle it safely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusses are skew nailed to the wall plate. Non starter for me to jack it up I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Why..? take bricks out below the wall plate and jack from there..?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 If I were to raise the walls by say 500mm, like this: I've still only got nom 1976mm from the top of the horizontal truss member to the underside of the apex. Hardly tall enough for a "room in the roof" even for storage: It'd be fun too, building up the 4" block, gable wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
