Cheers Danny. I would say I'm lucky but sometimes these jobs are a pain in the arse. This is an architect's house and there is a crazy amount of cabling. Got a belt off a cable today while pulling it through a board. Ducking power shouldn't even be on. It's all double boarded for thermal mass so everything needs pulling through twice.
 
existing and extension, existing build render was kango'd back to scratch coat, added another for more fooking wet dashing. Hold up on the windows out the back. Will post the finished job friday or sat. zzzzzzz

Not working again today!

Mind you 11pm finish last night. Not a great day. Didn't fancy the 90mins drive to work again. Seemed like a good idea 1st thing in the morning. Then it just got worse from there!!
 
Sat on my 4rse waiting for building control. Can't close anything off until they've seen it. Mostly a wasted day, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Love that window head detail, looks awesome...nobody will let me try it up in the stix though..how do you do it if you don't mind me asking? Do you have a stop bead up the angle from the window head bead? If that makes sense..

In saying that, most concrete lintels that are meant to be 100mm are usually 10-15mm bigger anyway(up here anyway).. Cheers..

You mean a bell cast/drip bead?
There common place everywhere aren't they?
 
dieselpower said:
No, I mean the bit from the drip bead, the bit that goes from there up at an angle and blends into the wall, do you bead that or is that just render?
Click to expand...
I just cut the back of the corner bead about 45mm from the bottom and bend it to give the drip angle. Just find its easier for when you rub up incase you dig into the free handed angle......................if that makes sense
