Bit of structural in prep for loft conversion
need to run a steel for 6 m across the rear extension, let's have a peek behind this bit,
bollix, 12"x12" poured concrete rebared lintel...double bollix...
little De Walt struggled, so...time to get the big lad out..
An hour later..
2 hours later, my lovely assistant clears it to the skip. The look I get when I put me feet up and issue instructions, Pffft :P
awaiting 2 12x12 Oak Posts structural grade and a couple of 10x6 RSJ's and stage 2 can begin.
Today efforts, drive to Folkstone and collect solid hardwood stable door, remove crappy UPVC one and fit, after buying new frame.
Sorted.

Have you checked what the post is sitting on?
It's sitting on a 10mm thick 450mm square steel plate that has solid concrete under it. Then has a 2" angle socket to avoid slippage, as per structural engineers Calcs . Simpo, yes, it's 2 steels.
Inky, fekk orf
The posts are rated to 38kn, I need 17kn for the loft conversion, wanted a margin...
