Hello Hello Hello!
Well I have a few project/jobs on the go and I thought ill start posting some of them! So I have more pictures of other jobs to come! But first the Dormer! It aint finished yet!
Brick layer is coming 2 moro he said he will be finished 2 moro!
Any way! I had to get planning of course and the architect did a drawing! Well the Dormer was passed but the architect did not listen to a word I told him he just did what he wanted! So he was sacked and I wont be using him again! haahaa!
Any way now the drawings are in the rubbish bin! ! I decided to build it how I think was best!
I said I wanted the Dormer to match the building! The building has all gable ends above the windows and on the ends of the building! I told the architect thats how I want the Dormer! I also said I wanted it to be built with bricks! No LEAD and No plastic cladding looks Rubbish!
So what did I get! He drew a Dormer with TWO hips! and he said you could either clad it with plastic boards with wood affect or lead! The complete opposite to what I said!
I dont agree with building brick work on wood! So I had to get some steel in for the brick work to sit on! So I measured up and ordered some steel I made them a little bigger than they should be I think because I am not a structural engineer so I rather be save than sorry!
Any way PICTURES!
Here you can see the Veluxes which where leaking so Instead of replacing them decided to build a Dormer to create more room!

I removed all the plaster Board so I could see what was going on and decide how to tackle the job. I also Propped the Roof with my new acro props! (I should of add pictures of my 12 acro props to JMB's NEW Toys [big grin])
