Hey Damian, The Celotex foil will act as your vapour barrier, you just need to tape the seems with aluminium tape (if the space is not heated you should not really get that much moisture). I would wrap in a breather house wrap as well. I Used...

well i have a chamfered design when the silver tape is infront of the door so will go matching with that just deciding on the width at the moment as wondering to beef it up or go with what is there as the moment.

Hi All, Worked on a little project for the missus old man. Its his birthday Sunday and he likes to collect glass ornaments, so I said why don't we make a light stand that he can put them on. Here is the finished project. The design painted on was done by the missus, the wooden base and...

Hi All, So some more progress on the porch The cladding is now complete and below you can see the results. You may also remember from an earlier post when I stated I messed up the weather strip on the front of the door as it looked weird to have one side angled and the other not, well it got...

Hi all, Quick update with some pictures. the weather turned out to be not to bad on Sunday so was able to get a bit more work done on the cladding. Would like to have finished it but had the occasional stop and start due to seeing to the baby etc but pleased overall. It is really starting to...

I did try and take it off but the caulk had stuck it on. I can take my multi tool to it but i'm just debating to do it or not as I don't want to mare the door under it. I would rather put up with it as is then screw up the door as you can probably imagine. When it is all done I may try and...
