Insulated cavity wall eh. At least you have a warm place to go if SWMBO puts you out.----

To the OP. Most of the work building a garage is fairly easy if you have reasonable building skills. If not then you might be able to tackle the floor slab yourself and even the simple electrics but you'll need the other three trades to complete the job.----

Look at their previous work though and don't take any chances.---Good luck with it.


With any job quality control by yourself is ESSENTIAL to nip any errors in the bud.



PS. Tiling battens. The membrane has to have the battens on top so that the hooks on the roof tiles can fix on to them.


The angle of the roof determines if tilting fillets are required.

The wall plate that the gang-nailed roof trusses sits on must also be fixed down to the garage walls by wall straps.


As they say in the trade the work needs a good coat of looking at.--Lol.
Fully agree bar one thing Jon, the purpose of the tilting fillet.

It supports the bottom row of tiles so they don't cantilever, and the sarking felt is laid over the top of the fillet to prevent it from sagging.

That was what I meant when talking about the membrane being incorrectly fitted at the bottom, by the nailing of a batten over the top of the membrane to support the bottom row of tiles..........this leads to water pooling and that batten rotting.........anyway look at the awesome finished job, it's cowboytastic

Look at the lovely verge, complimented by the expertly executed ridge tiles





How about this nice touch, can you see the tiling batten through the big gap in the tiles




How is it possible to lay tiles this badly, or fit guttering so ineptly



So Jon, do you now catch my drift when I said it was an abortion?

Brian

Question

Presumably the neighbour of the build had some concern about it Brian, hence your involvement. If so, what is the resolution of hope if not expectation?

I hung my "clean" Tyzack trowel up in 1992. I miss it but my body doesn't. On one trip to th Isle of Man i noticed different lap and weathering to many of Oncan village roofs. Defiantly no continuity in spec to control th sea "breeze" and parsiputations that they av in abundance. !!!! I suppose its th old adage, ya pay ya money and take ya chance...

For some reason your pictures are just small Xs.

I'm on Internet explorer but I get the same result on Google Chrome.---
