First set of 2x2 rails up and secured with 30 of No5 woodscrews & M5 s/s flatwashers per rail. https://i.postimg.cc/jLsykvBf/20250514-120716.jpg The whole roof pulled in tight which was great but also as there things do shrunk massively when I measured for the 2 strings. I've left a 600mm walkwa...

We are fans of Grand Designs in this house! And the glazing always features prominently. Sorry Joe, but I'm the one shouting at the telly: "Why did they need a silly shaped window in the first place? Two smaller panes would've been way cheaper!" :lol: :lol: , yes indeedy! Even stranger, i...

They are 4.8mtr in length and there will be 4 of them with each high point double screwed at the highpoint....

A couple of 4×1.5/2s going from your legs to the centre of the wall plate would make...

A good day today. All the external black now complete. Solar panel sticks are well soaked and are now aloft. Although not at all positoned. Just chucked up there to dry for a week. https://i.postimg.cc/z3NLw0t5/20250513-164831.jpg Was going to be protecting my back before Hols on Thursday but I was ...
