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

>>>>>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

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

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

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.
