Hi, The straps that are on the wind braces on instruction are I'm the wall. Not sure if they bend behind the block work or not though. But the bend is not just buttered in. I think I will get a couple more straps and add as described before and also re-enforce the existing. I will try and get...

Hi Rodders, you said I was going to say but after re-reading i understand your saying put the straps to span 3 joists on the face block work and fix to block work with 3 large screws instead of trying to get behind it to tighten up the lateral movement and then fitting through the brace and...

Hi Linc's, Yeah I think I will strap the truss to the face of the block work the best that can be and put a few nails in to ensure the strapping that is there is at least a but more secured. I cannot see an easy way of strapping the gable across 3 trusses so will run with what I can do. Unless...

Hey All, Thought I would include some pictures so you can see more easily Hopefully this can help identify what is needed. The strapping to the trusses from the gable wall does exist (going to add a few more nails into them though) The truss running along the gable wall (the one more...

I think i was not clear enough before he did not say about the wall plate not being fixed just that the end truss that meets the gable should be strapped to the block face

From what i have read the gable end is attached to the roof trusses as shown in the attached picture. From the info i got from the surveyor he said to tie the truss across the face of the block work. Could this be achieved via the light weight straps hammered around the truss to meet up with...

ok blackrodd thanks I need to get up in the loft and have a little more of a look i will get a few pictures so it may be easier to say what needs what. with the twisted ties do you just screw to the timber and blocks or nail? I would assume screwing would be stronger Cheers mark

Hi All, So we are in the process of buying our house through the right to buy scheme and we had our home buyers building survey done today. One point he did mention was that the block work in the loft needed re-pointing (as there are numerous holes and a couple of loose ish blocks) seems at the...

Yeah keep the peace and all haha

cool, na no capacity to be able to put them out side. The neighbour wined enough when we was decorating the house let alone hav ng a compressor chugging away lol

Hmm that one looks a bit too beefy for my space. Maybe something to keep in mind if I find myself moving more rewards one. At the moment I think the ones I am looking at should do me fine. Cheers Mark

Thanks for the back and forth. I have settled on the Clarke tiger models just deciding what size to get. Bonus time is coming up so will hold off as I don't need it right away. Thanks Mark

Hi Tony, So a sander I have seen states its 4.7 cfm so the 3 above should be able to handle that quite well correct? Cheers Mark

Hi All, What are peoples thoughts on these I like the 25 litres as they are a bit more compact and I dont have the largest amount of room. However, I'm thinking should I save a bit more and get the 50 litre From what I have seen most of the tools I would use need about 8cfm and from the...

Hi Tony, Yeah I understand how it can regulate I just wondered if it had an impact on what can run, but now after looking around and doing some research 8 bar is about standard and will run most things. When it comes to cfm is it the free air delivery that really matters? I know a lot of them...

Good idea. I think I'll have a look and see what I can get away with. I saw the high cfm guns when having a little browse but they are above my level and I can't see myself spraying to that degree to warrant buying the gun and compressor that goes with it l. I think I may go with a compressor...

Hi All, I have seen a few posts on here with regards to the topic but want some opinions. This is to be used in a DIY/home workshop capacity I imagine I will run brad nailer, framing nailer (possibly not a certain though), spray gun (only spraying small projects, and if capable may want to...

very nice, I actually want to make one myself now

and then when they left they happened to have their chainsaw and a tree in sight
