Hi all
Im just starting construction of a small extension [15 square metres]
to my 1974 brick built bungalow.I am installing a sloped roof while Im
at it 10 metres by 7 metres.The architect has specified that the
roof--pyramid shaped--why make it easy-- is built on 4 beams which sit
on the existing dreaded flat roof he has specified failrly substantial
beams all made from 3 300X47 Kerto LVL timber spiked together.
1 What is Kerto LVL timber-does it come from outer space?
2 What is spiked construction--can I do it myself.
PS Many thanks again to all who advised me on replacing my rotten
facias and soffits in plastic--no more peeling paint--total cost =A3800
including Oggee gutters-my Scottish heart gets warm every time I look
at that plastic.
