Keeps me off the street. Just did cancer, so everything else life chucks is a bonus, (including thoughtful abuse!) Even Gogglebum's a new un on me.:tanguero:

Ta for asking. Er, not quite got there yet - I'm doing the whole gaff (in and out, up n down) in 3/4 week visits, and the latest one was spent mainly on the outside of those beams which is 28m2 x 20mm vertical wood planking (since the weather was so good:)) Got the lower rot out, treated support...

Selfbuild?? Yawn. Another excusenik. Blame "the others". Lefties nicked yer Nans pension did they? Or fire your doctors, nurses, coppers, and firemen. Shut down your local A&E, library or kids centres? Spose it was those nice Blue Meanies built a health service for ya, and a record amount of...

Cheers for coming back at it. That looks about the idea. Had scrim to beam down on menu, and board chamfer (scrim to any lost backing) before bond. Another site recommended using 50mm Kleenedge masking along the beam before work, do bond/fill and smooth, then cut scribe and lift excess Kleenedge...

Whole beam. Board sits neat and straight along top. Sort of French ring beam/wall plate.

Thanks for taking the time. Merry Xmas to ya too.

Ginger. As much as you can get in diet, tea's, raw, Thai grub. Works!

I'll write a word a week for the next year if its too hard for ya.

Thanks smudger. I caught one that big too!

Pleased to oblige. White dots outer curve of adzed beam. Red dots line directly above stud to either board or fill up to, allowing beam to stay partially or fully exposed.

Won't rise to a poor fella from Leeds having a short attention span. You must leave the ground early quite a bit. Oops, I rose.

Thanks Jess great idea for across beams, but in my "long ass (prefer arse) post" I guess I omitted to describe that these are upper board edges running along the length of these beams. Involving sculpting or filling 30 to 60 mm in some places. If I chamfer up to 15 degrees then it'll weaken the...

Well not much else on at Chrimbo, is there. Not a plasterer, more a plastering groupie, as I have an undying respect for your trade, ever since my late bestie, an artisan plasterer pointed out his brilliance to me more than once over a pint, then proved it by sorting out my walls and ceilings...
