Re: Garage Door
Hi RS, I have a piece of timber cut to the exact width of the new door, I checked at four reference points and it is exactly 20mm short between the two uprights fitted today. Tomorrow I have to fit a 10mm inner frame each side then the brackets on the metal door frame will fix into the large timbers fitted today with coach bolts, saving fixing into the wonky brickwork.Re: Garage Door
Re: Garage Door
Not the best ever briklaying that is for sure, the cement between the bricks is all over the place.Re: Garage Door
Yep, worst I've ever seen, the place was built circa 1964, there must have been a cement shortage at the time, hence what appears to be a 9 to 1 cement/sand mix on the mortar, or, an apprentice was allowed to let rip on the garages, still, that will make it easier to demolish it and rebuild it.Re: Garage Door
Re: Garage Door
Picked the UPVc up, needed two lengths of 95mm X 5.5mm, before I start, the substantial screws that hold the main timber frame are proud by a couple of millimetres, these were a bugger to drive in so, taking then out and counter sinking could be a pain, I think I will glue some thin plastic to the timber so the cladding lies flush.
