Uncle Bob replied to a thread What are you up to? in At the end of the day

Reminds me of a bit like a vertical deck but shouldn't need so much maintenance ;-) I think it should add a lot of value to the house as it shows off your craftsmanship and attention to detail Metrix.

Uncle Bob replied to a thread Posts, decorative or structural in Structural Renovation

Hard to say from those photos. Can you find out if the rafters are continuous? I ask as some look they finish at the wall.

Uncle Bob replied to a thread Wall/skirting moving away from floor in Flooring

Interesting. I always thought that a slab was one plane, unless it has a break in it.

Uncle Bob replied to a thread Wall/skirting moving away from floor in Flooring

Just to note that a lot (most or all?) of Canberra is build on clay which is the worst for heave so unless you're got a concrete slab, things go up and down and in and out.

Uncle Bob replied to a thread 800mm Wheelchair Lift for Garage in Structural Renovation

But I'm struggling a bit with the dimensions on this plan... Whats does T and C mean that's circled in green. I reckon D is depth but T and C has me stumped.
