yeah the 100mm thing but had a feeling that they are supposed to have a minimal fall out in case of fuel leaks
I have done loads with a fall and it is a PITA,but as said elsewhere the BCO is king

theres a part in building regs about internal garages needing a fall on them

well spotted mike
i did ask the chippys and the response was
"we dont grow the trees"

it shocked me when i put the battens up for the gables how much variation from true there can be in a 6M length of timber
(well not really shocked at all :;): )

all the timber is tanalised now,i find it straighter than sawn and for 10p a metre extra worth it
laid more blocks today,surprised to still be laying this close to xmas

The weathers been amazing hasn't it, mild and dry. We're banging through the work like it's summer time except for the failing light.

Loved the picture of the chap in the JCB bucket; he must have a good sense of balance. However, some of your photos are very blurry. If you don't know, it's camera shake.

Granny, partial vacuum, egg shells and all that, but always squeeze the shutter release, don't jab at it. You may be taking pictures in the dusk, after your day's work. The camera cannot give you a fast enough shutter speed in that light, and camera shake is inevitable. Try waiting until the morning, when it's brighter.
