Been asked to mono the back of an extension.
But there's a catch and trying to think of the best way to do it.
The rest of the building has already been done a few years ago and the top half of the back.
Now they've had a stone wall taken down and want the back doing fully.
The top that's...
Apparently B&Q had 19 pallets delivered this afternoon
Nearly gone an hour later so my mate said
Im past being arsed now
Got a pallet this week and just thinking why did I bother because every f**k*r wants you there yesterday
The inevitable will happen at some point I'm hoping to keep it to a minimum though.
Definitely a learning curve to it.
I felt like I knew f**k all doing the training day even spraying it on has a knack
I've just picked my slimline turbo up today!!
Can't wait to use the f**k*r.
100% will end up blocked first day with apprentice.
Was like a fairy today on the training!!
But thank f**k don't have to handball no more!
Agree mate
Not offended at all to be fair there's not many people who try and help point in the right direction.
But as before it's not something I was just piecing together and making up as go along.
HETAS guy went through it first and as you said have to be careful around the flue.
As long...
@Brimstone
I've asked the question regarding th beam and mentioned what you said.
Guys said to me you are quite right in what you say but the beam will be encased around the back and back bottom lip with heatproof material which is the reason the install is ok.
If it was just to be a beam...
Forgot to add the mock up is to be moved forward to the required distance once the stone was in. Was a visual reference only.
As above the building inspector is happy and further to above the whole design has been ok'd by the HETAS installer.
I take on board about the krend etc that part is...
Strange mate I admit I'm not 100% up on everything but hetas engineer okd everything and building inspector happy
So as far as I'm concerned it's all good
Its definately not a standard opening height wise it's well over 1m
Hearth base is coming out the required amount it's not fixed in the...
As you can see stone back.
And there is a mock up with stone hearth and the plinth will also be stone
As you can see it's not a massive opening but it is larger than a lot you see that have no clearance hardly at the sides.
Was originally going to brick slip the chamber sides but...
Same principle for mono and S&C ?
Thinking I may actually forehand a bull nose as do want this particular fire feature to look rustic with everything else being modern
I'll post a photo in a mo
It's a big opening not your standard few mm clearance to stove.
I've seen it one done using k rend and not failed. Just not sure on the beads
So although not absolutely 100% on it I'm confident enough to give it a go at my own house.
Got a fireplace to do in next few weeks.
This one is for myself as having a multi fuel stove installed.
I'm going to be using k rend on the breast and sides of the chamber.
The rear wall of the chamber is done in stone.
I'm going for the rustic look on the whole breast to tie everything in.
I...
I agree
Prices on gear only going one way as well.
Interesting to see how it plays out really.
There one thing I'm quite sure about
There will be a lot less chances about
Hopefully not
It's got 12 months to start earning anyway.
But saying that I've passed over a lot because too much to handball and my pal who usually sprays for me moved away.
Though it was about time to jump in
I seem to have gone the other way to everyone else
Everyone's closing the wallet I seem to be opening the b*****d.
Mind you I took that super cheap government load to get it
Would be mad not to
Haha well I'm confident the one I have is definately not OX
The original company was branded speedskim but if I remember rightly it was refina who made it
But could be wrong
Its been a long old lockdown
Well my speedskim is the refina original version and I replaced the blade just before lockdown with the ox ST and it fits properly.
I don't use it often only on big ceilings so doesn't get loads of use
