Hey everyone,

I have a bugger of a ceiling that causes problems no matter what I try with it. When I paint my ceiling in the main living area of the house something always goes wrong, but never...

I don't know why I put that size as the cantilever. It's only about 1000-1200 at most. I'll check through the span tables as suggested - didn't see what i was looking for last time but maybe I just...

Hi all,

I'm working on building a verandah attached to the front of the house as in the plan below. I think I'm OK with everything except the cantilever length (in blue) and beam size allowances...

Thanks for asking around for me. I'll give Rylock a try tomorrow. Had no luck ringing and emailing today so anything is worth a shot!
Cheers, Dan

Hi Bloss. I had thought of that as an option but as Bedford said the eave heights were the big worry. I had planned on starting the 'repair' on the weekend but didn't - will be doing it next...

Thanks to both again. I had briefly thought about windows and doors but figured I'd wait until I fix the frame problem then try to resolve those. I appreciate the help you've both given.

Thanks mate. Looks like I'm off shopping for a new bit of gear!

HI Beford and r3nov8or,

Thanks for your replies. I've taken some photos today to show you the problem. Thanks for confirming that the back extension is easily sorted.

I know now looking at...

Hi everyone,

I'm owner-building an extension on my home and while I recognised a problem on the back extension yesterday, I hadn't noticed the same problem on the front extension.

Basically I...

Thanks Brian. I'll take some time to digest your suggestions and rework my plan. Thanks for your help so far!

Hi Brian,

You're right about the number of locations of the braces. There are 2 on each side so 4 in total but the braces only extend about 200mm from the pool wall so shouldn't interfere too...

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your response. Apologies for not including the dimensions - obviously an oversight because I meant to add them!

The joist spacings are 450mm.
The post spacings across the...

Hi everyone,
I've just joined the forum after a long time reading posts and now it's my turn to ask for some advice and feedback. We've just installed an above ground pool, which is semi-inground...
