Re: Small things matter

BTW, out of 52 predrilled holes a grand total of 1 hit a rafter end,... 1. :facepalm: Also out the blue. I'm going to se AC/DC in July. :twisted: Been up to measure, getting serious now. I reckon I can fly the new string via bracketry in under the two adjacent strings and drop water from the current...

Re: Small things matter

I found five joist ends and screwed through with a No6 & a No5 100mm screw and s/s flatwasher into each one. https://i.postimg.cc/wTVx5c0S/20240511-135712.jpg I had remarked the facsia board so simple enough to drill and fit 52 blue rawl plugs, yep 52! :twisted: https://i.postimg.cc/9QCpKVPD/202...

Navitron Archive

Morning, I've been chatting to Jack the last couple of days, a family employee of the company that was Navitron. I've been buying my stove consumables from him for years at the company Stoves & Solar which he formed after Navitron closed its doors and forum. There was a bad taste left in the RE ...

Re: Small things matter

600mm is usual. Thanks Ian. I'll do a bit of echotesting tomorrow. See how many are hit or miss! :D Should have said 400mm and 600mm are usual but depends on roof structure, you could also try removing the soffit if possible, as that will allow you to see the exact position of the ends of the truss...

Re: Small things matter

Joe, Just a thought but how well attached is the facia board and are some of your screws going to be catching the ends of the roof trusses? Nice one Ian, thank you. I literally walked out into back garden and thought "600mm centres", or is it 800mm? A trip to the loft is required! The pan...

Re: Nowty Towers Vs UK Grid Storage

Now in operational service, still got to add my anti pigeon brush surround and paint the exposed rails. :mrgreen: Also my metalwork was sent to the wrong address so I had to bodge the extension rails for now, thats another job to do but it should not be too bad. This was a hard job though and I mea...

Re: Small things matter

Started in on the final Three PV musketeers. Using as many old timbers as possible. This is the carrier board, it will be fixed to the facsia board with a total of 52 No5 s/s screws. I do like a belts & braces never think of it again approach. The board was pre treated but years old so drier tha...
