why the dog leg in the building and whats a cockney flashing. the flashing looks like a bigger angle than 45 degree cut back.

[haggistini]

Good progress LLL and spot on as ever
The old county court jail cells in ye olde town hall 113yr old slabs each one cut to butt up exactly to the other ...amazing and you need a breaker to free most of them from the bed
It's our local blue pennant.

The boys feel at home in the cells







Cheeky Victorian spot bed .!?.!? 113 yrs old!

>>>>>amazing and you need a breaker to free most of them from the bed
that's because they are not laid on a 10:1 mix

[lutonlagerlout]

when marking a lead flashing you have 4 lines
1 your roof lap
2 the fold line 20mm deep
3your top line 150mm above roof
4 your 50mm below that line
the cut back nearly always goes at 90 deg to the top line,however when the pitch is flat i find it more aesthetic to do it a bit more
that roof is only 22 deg and it would have looked a bit odd

"cockney flashings " like that mick

dog leg is because of planning laws ,a ground floor extension can only go out 3 M tight to the boundary on a semi detached house
4 M on a detached ,after that distance the 45 deg rule comes in
cheers LLL

finished off the rainwater drains this AM then back to the garage conversion job to pour the slab

2.75 M 3 lads barrowed it in in 45 minutes with me levelling and floating
and for anyone that thinks barrowmix is expensive


6 tonnes of ballast = £250 in tonne bags
36 bags of opc = £150
so there is £400 then you have to knock it up
doing it like this we were done and dusted in an hour and a half and went and got loaded up for another job monday
cheers LLL

[local patios and driveway]

Im pouring a raft on thursday, 4m of concrete for 75 per meter plus dreaded. Good price that

[dig dug dan]

tony its a no brainer anything over 1m for us.
We buy loose ballast. 1m max on the truck, £49+vat
8bags cement £34+vat got to mix it yourself etc.etc.
when will people learn?

Cheers Tony, I know it is hard to get excited about/make a large tarmac area look interesting but there was a whole lot of work involved to get to that point.

3 1/2 days work for 4 blokes, 95t of tar, it was pretty hard going in the blazing sunshine.
