Timber then horizontal; then pack out with OSB. What bugs me is a) the work for me and b) the actual top tread fixes at just one point by the blue stairs - so why I need to do the whole lot is pointless. They fix to the steel any way they want at the top tread end to the steel! Hilti gun the timber to the steel web would save drilling the holes. I've had to this before to fix a ledger for a flat roof.

Will be worth it though should look good Yeah that’s going to be a PIA job for sure, finished treads are much bigger than the steel so there plenty of room to make the cuts oversized. It should be really nice when it’s finished 😬

Pocster Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Now I remember the fun I have with initially planning and then BC Send plans to BC Someone ( I'll assume human with an IQ around 4 ) responds "is this a new application?" I say no - it's for building control They respond - you should send this to building control I say you are building control Would you like me to forward it to building control 'it' responds' ? ( bare in mind the email address is building.control@ ....... ) I say yes. Days later no acknowledgement from BC or anything....... Do you think they don't get a (expletive deleted) about me?

Big Jimbo Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 They might have lost all the old reports due to time since the last visit, and want to start again from scratch. Can you try and record it so we can all have a listen. "We don't appear to have a record of seeing A,B,C etc" ....."Kin chuffing mother........rs..... it was a baldy bloke, Glasses, stubble"......... Oh, he retired, just after the Queens Jubilee. The Silver Jubilee. How long did you say you have been working on this project ? 1

So I can hang them if need be and also prevent myself saying stuff I should ( not ) . 1
