Bought a 2 killowat Challenge extreme from Argos this morning as long as it
lasts for this one job that will do me.
Im opening the roof-again- tomorrow to set up pads bearing on my Kerto beams
for building my pyramid roof.
Timber comes on Monday.
Im struggling with a framing book just now trying to work out an "easy" way
to draw out rafter end profiles on the load bearing parapet- the peak is
taken care of by very ingenious adjustable Simpson truss hangers-only
drawback they come in boxes of 25 at £150 a box!!!-yup building non standard
is mind bendingly expensive!.
I will never sneer at box bungalows again!.

I suppose the hot tar drips are quite unattractive especially on my bald
head.
Just a thought I could leave it in my sons bedroom he is always
borrowing
ours and burning it out.

Sounds like a great way to get rid of your son for a couple days.
Remember
to take flowers and grapes to the burns unit. For the nurses, not for the
son. :-)

Hi all
Saw a hot air gun being used for torching on felt on Grand Designs.I
am
using the usual propane powered jet engine job to torch down over my
opened
roof -dodgy- with sawdust etc in the ceiling.
What type of hot air gun works--is it a tool hire job or will a B&Q
type
gun
do the job.



Any one at a rating of 1500 watts or above is ideal. Remember "not"
to
use
it as a hair dryer when the DIY is finished.
