I am at a party, which I know should be banned with the whole queen thing so can't talk much. Thanks so much whatevil, I will look in to all this. most of the rest of you can go swivel lol. bit like my windows. The screws through the unit, yeah honestly, its at least half of them. You're pretty much forced to used an approved installer so I did. And you get this poo poo. I knew this would happen. Yes they were the cheaper quote, but theyre a schuco approved installer?!?!? I can name and shame them here? Should I go to schuco and say I'm not happy I dunno. I'm much happier loving things up myself because I know why and who to blame. When you spend the money on someone else... I dunno.. I think I'm just so conditioned to accept a bad job I just went well I guess thats what you get.

Yeah if they're a Shuco approved installer, and you've complained to them and they've shrugged, go to shuco IMO.

It occurs to me that my quick and easy house build has now seen off the longest reigning monarch the country has ever, or will ever see. Like the olden days engineering projects begun under one monarch and finished under another by the descendants of the original designer. I shall name my son L.

Hmmm, not many posts from me. given that I'm working through my photo album and this is up, this must spell the end of my saab. RIP SAAB. Took it for an MOT (uk thing due every year after 3rd to ensure car is road worthy) and was expecting a bit of a bill. But I was hit with a whole welding job of over 3.5k which is more than the car is worth. Annoying. So now my work vehicle is the fiat panda cos I have a roof rack for it.  Also front door and back door are delivered. You might, but I couldn't believe how much a front door costs! More than fixing a Saab! I bought these from a company in glasgow, but they wouldn't fit the smart locks I wanted so I paid them extra to fit no locks and I'll sort that out later. Machine them in myself. Probably I dunno. For now, hide your shame behind the container.  Oh and lol the digger broke down doing this and had to get jumped from the fiat. Embarassing.  Still need to finish the blockwork on the sort of midway gable way between the house and end carport cos brickie hosed off.  digger blocks up  pretty ok i reckon  Needs some tidying up, the carpentry too on this end  Which is now getting done in the pissing rain again  Other hip end getting done, bit rough but close enough   Looks like this overall. No real bad stuff this update. Other than rip Saab and towbar, now no way to collect any large materials or tow a trailer...

It would go perfectly with your windows, but it's going to need a door frame that gets installed into a couple of 100 meter bore holes on either side of it with a 40 footer in the middle for the hinge.

I am a bit confused by the roofing but why let that stop us. So "felt" over the whole lot with a membrane, counter batten on top off that running up the rafters/trusses to provide a nice ventilated air gap above what essentially shall be a warm roof construction (but it isnt really) and then battens across that at every 100mm spacing for all those lovely tiles I got off ebay earlier. First batch of 25 x 38mm batten, getting about 3 miles worth in the end.  Also very unsure about the valley, in the centre of the L where the two roof elements meet. Don't really like this but apparently this is how to do it, infill bits of board. yuck  And that feeds onto the plant room, which is again not very decided but here we are  Rolling out and stapling down membrane. It feels like you should do all this in one go and then place up the counter battens and then batten from there? But I have no idea how to do that. So instead we'll roll out and staple down the membrane all the way around the roof at the lowest eaves level. Cut up the counter batten and install one roll of membrane all the way round. nail battens to that all the way round to give footholds, and then repeat all the way up to the ridge.   Oh yeah and we have a plastic tray system all the way round the eaves to ensure the felt finishes nicely into the gutters and a plastic vent/insect/animal guard to fit all the way around too. made up some little i dunno 60mm or whatever the gap is spacers out of spare batten and start whacking it in with the nailgun. Nailguns are so good.   I would show you my nailgun but it isn't the right brand and all the big bully experts will take the piss out of me for it not being paslode. I know what battles to not fight these days.  Yeah this junction is... somewhat a mess. it'll be fine. almost certainly.  detail drawings never show the complicated bits. lol. figure those out yourself. ah nature  I didn't detail this earlier but the peak of the vaulted area hip roof with internal brick wall such that you dont see any of it on the inside is quite... tight. Again, its almost certainly fine.  In the meantime picking up three velux windows, not quite ready yet but good to know what youre dealing with in advance. The tesla, as long as youre prepared to be a bit mean to it isnt bad as a delivery van, but its the saloon aperture on the back where really it should be a hatch that fucks you over a bit.

If this is how it should be done the boards shod be well fit and well trimmed.

I think I was kind of checked out on it and so i dunno not trying as hard as I should. oh and being cheap and using up leftovers. It is shameful. I should have not posted it or pretended some other shoddy person did it. Its not really structural, just there as a backboard to nail to for the valley drain that goes above. Another desperate attempt to explain myself is the campervan you can see. My parents were back and my dad was giving me poo poo about it all and my work quality falls accordingly.
