Medical conjecture that mixing vaccines is the way to go for maximum protection

Didn't cark-it and I've got this little piece of paper saying so now. Now waiting to be allowed to have the Pfizer for my booster shot in 6 months

If this is the problem it should be a reasonably simple fix. Jack and pack?

While our roof is steel the construction of it is similar and our collar ties are up very close to the ridge; approximately where the first roofing batten is placed in your roof.

Booked my follow-up AZ shot for tomorrow. If I drop dead I'll let you all know

We considered doing this and were persuaded not to, but in hindsight maybe we should have. These are the only people I know of who specialise in this area. https://www.extensionfactory.com.au/

Maybe collar ties across each pair of rafters would be quicker/easier and if the collar tie was deep enough you could use two 10mm bolts with plate washers on each side?

Perhaps fencing the area and getting in a dozen chooks might be faster and easier, and you get to eat free range roast chicken afterwards

I don't think that steel 5mm thick is needed. I'd use the much cheaper pergola brackets and the new self drilling Pryda screws with the red heads https://pryda.com.au/product/pergola-angles/ https://pryda.com.au/product/self-drilling-screws/ Depending on the age of the timber I'd also be pre-drilling with a 3mm bit

Sorry if I'm not getting this but why isn't there ducting to the far end of the room?

And this is one reason why I would never, ever have a ducted heating unit in the roof. Similar thing happened at my daughter's house, but it's not a trussed roof. Good luck with the outcome.

You could perhaps simply make a false arch using plywood/OSB with wood surrounds which would be removable. If you wanted to sell the house in the future it would then be simple to return it to original and replace the door

Its name is Fred. :D (Dictated by Ted over there.)

That's not going to happen any time soon with this government but I can that happening for the third shot.

I don't think that the vaccine can be termed "faulty" Marc, it provides a well know measure of protection. It has associated risks but there are risks with all vaccines and inoculations as there is with any medical procedure or any medications. 100 people might die from a bad reaction to the AZ dose but 3000 people might die from Covid if our hospitals get over run, and they might if they aren't funded to cope and the virus runs rampant due to stupidity/ noncompliance/ etc on the part of the...

If the "risky" version was more effective

People should be able to make that decision for themselves, if : after getting the best information available; they decide that the risks are minimal and the advantages outweigh the risks then they should be able to get the "More risky" vaccine if the wish to
