Day 22,23,24 So not posted to much of late but it mainly because the weather turns just as I finish something and I need to get in before I have a chance to take a picture. Any how, Over the last few days I have now - Removed the fascia about the porch as going to replace this with some PVC...

Hi ros thanks lot. Should have some WIP pics uplater if all goes to plan haha. Did wanna start first thing today but one of the kids decided she wanted to take a fall and turn the into a broken elbow. So first thing today is off to the fracture clinic to see what's what. Cheers Mark

Hey all, So the frame I bought is to fit a 926 opening but mine is 920. I plan to cut 5mm off each side would that be enough to allow me to level up or should I go for like 8mm. Cheers Mark

So took the frame back but they never had the larger one in stock so off to another shop later to see if they have one. But i did buy the door anyway. nice oak lump. bit more than the original door we was looking at but the misses likes this one more and I have to admit so do I. Cheers for the...

Hi Ian, I find cutting slower can reduce tear out. Another option is to use a sacrificial fence setup so it supports the material more closely to the cut. Cheers Mark

yeah thats what I was thinking really rod. I think i will take the door frame back and get the one for the 838mm door. cheers Mark

Hi All, I have a door opening of 920mm (give our take). I was originally going to go for a 838mm door (so frame size needed was 926, would needed to have shaved some off the frame but it should have fit) anyway after looking at a few doors we are going to go for a 762mm door instead as the 838...

Hey Rod, Thanks, think I get what you mean. Mark

Hi Rod, Door and door frame I am going with is wood so that is a bonus :). When your referring to fitting the striking stile is this the case as well if it is a door frame kit? or are your talking along the lines of making your own. Just out of interest is it better to buy a frame as I thought...

Day 21 So over the weekend got a bit of time to do a little more before the weather stopped me. I put the remaining front left rafter on and then put the gable end filler pieces so the battens for the cladding have something to go on. I also went around the gaps and filled with spray foam to...

Day 19 and 20 So over the last couple of days I focused on getting the rest of the roof on and braces in nothing too major happened so just have a couple of progress pictures really. Next weekend I am hoping to get the rest of the noggin's in and then the breather membrane on and battens put...

no probs mate. Thanks. Its a shame as if the inspection chamber was not there I would have put in for planning and joined it to the existing roof. Cheers Mark

Hi Bm, As I said to Graham on the previous page the right side of the building (furthest from camera shot) does not sit flush to the side of the building so does not match up to the roof line. limitation of where it sits as stated above with regards to the inspection chamber being in the way...

Yeah there should just be enough room. Looking at using some aluminium thing my misses nephew was talking about as lead would get nicked from it in about 20 minutes haha.

What? did you mean to extend the concrete base out to the right? and then extend the existing line for the porch? If so I cannot do that for 2 reasons. 1st being that the roof is above 3m so it is not permitted development and the 2nd (if this did not exist I would have done planning...

Sorry for the delay in getting this image up. By the time i remembered to take the photo it was to dark. Anyhow here is a photo with me testing the rafter with the ridge beam being held in place temporally Since this photo I added more house wrap to take it up the hole wide of the walls and...

Day 17 and Day 18 Day 17 So this weekend I wanted to get the door frame opening extended to be able to accept the front door and the roof framing done. The first job was to get the opening done and that went by without a hitch really so that is now all ready for the door frame. The next task...

Cheers rod. I try these angles and they just don't seem to fit correctly. I have now though got one that works so will template it off that. Wanted the roof finished this weekend but hopefully will get it sorted next weekend. Cheers Mark

Hi Hoj, I tried those calcs in sketch up and I get a rafter that sits like so against the ridge should the 51 degree cut happen on the ridge plate side or should that be cut to 39. Cheers Mark

Hi Hoj, How is that meter run calculated does it explain it within the book? I have a couple more calculations to do so wondering how I can do this correctly myself. I have deducted the HAP from the rise and the result it gave me was basically correct (had to take about 20mm off for the seat...
