Smarty67 Posted February 4, 2024 Share Posted February 4, 2024 Hi All Hope this is in the right forum I’m doing a cladding job on my dormer bungalow, one side of the dormer is about 10m long with 4 windows in it, ive fired my laser along the bottom start line of the cladding which is also the same line as the windows cills, if I start on the laser line, at the front of the house I will be in line with the cill but at the back the cladding would be 3 inch above the window cill, the house is built on raft foundations in a known poor ground area so I guess the whole thing has shifted in the 50 years its been up. So I guess I’ve got no option but to follow the line of the cills other wise I think its going to look a bit of an arse. Would that be what everyone else would do?

FuerteStu Posted February 4, 2024 Share Posted February 4, 2024 If it looks right, it is right. Regardless of actual level. In this scenerio, I wouldnt use a level for the cheeks, I'd string line and measure down. (if I'm understanding you right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if I'm understanding you right?) good call, i hadn't thought of using a line, it will work on the long run if i just measure down at each end of the 10 metre run, pull a line and fit the battens on that line..Thanks for the tip i appriciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
