Always be ready for kickback because if your not ready for it, it will be the the scariest thing youve ever been through, especially when its a 9 and a quarter saw :eek:

No you just have "secondary studs".

Yeah the rip blade is like a hot knife through butter, and the blade you have got knowing GMC will only struggle and kick back on you abit if youre not used to powersaws.

Yeah man you hurt my feelings....

Definatly the Blackbutt, as you said it wont dent no were near as easy as the Tassy Oak, so i reckon the Blackbutt, secret nailed and it should look sweet.

Geez gettin a bit too fiesty there mate, i did read the thread, just prob didnt realise he used the same screws.

Far out try to give some helpful info and people have a go at you, youre not a...

You get this cracking noise when the sheets heat up or cool down, it is caused by contraction and expansion of the sheet on the screw causing the cracking noise, its not the sheet its the sheet on...

Its killing you aye? Me and the boss are laying just over 250sqm of floor boards which is just over 3.1km in lineal length, anyway its looking good, looks like blackbutt? Did you leave a gap between...

I got that one aswell.

Who ever wants one just PM me and we'll sort something out.

I got it for free, who wants a copy?

Yeah glue your mitres and nail it with a little brad, there about 12mm or 15mm long. Yeah nail it off to clad aswell, you wouldnt want to much movement that breaks nails. And yeah just do it piece by...

I became a Chippy to work with Timber not Steel otherwise i would be a metal worker if i liked metal.

Use 45mm nails out of a brad gun. The nailing you have shown there is fine, just dont nail too close the mitres as they most probably will open up if the nail sticks good.

Stuff steel kit homes, what happened to good ol timber, i hope the steel kit homes dont become a new fad theyll be puttin good chippy's out of business :(

No 1 wont work because the FC sheeting for tiles is 16mm thick so there goes that one.

Why dont you build a Pergola over the deck, so then it keep rain off the deck and under it.

About to say the same thing, structural work is not to be messed around with aye :rolleyes:

Dont make the concrete to wet, making it to wet affects its strength. Most people think concrete is just concrete, its not, dont make it so wet if the stumps are taking load.

But obviously it will cost more, so whats your budget?

I dont even think you need 2 LVL beams.

Might have to use Brick Piers, it may be easier :confused:

Yeah you need that aswell, but what kind of door is it first? Is it pre-made aluminium door or are you hanging doors yourself?

Wait till Larry McCully sees this, im sure he will have an answer as he is a Timber Floor Contractor.

Arrr yeah H4 it is, got my numbers mixed up.

Haha she looks good, i might have to come out west and find me self a hot woman, and ill be the chief nailer if you know what i mean :D

And if youre going to concrete them in the timber has to be a H1 durability timber and also CCA treated.

Is it a cavity or external slider?

Cavity sliders SUCK to install if youve got 45mm nails. External sliders are easy to do, tell me which one and i might be able to give you a run down.

Nice work, whos the hot lady in the second picture?

You cant use the nails out of a coil nailer to nail speed bracing or triple grips because the nail will shear off at the head under compression or tension, especially on speed brace when the roof...

Scribing skirting boards and then accidentaly breaking the tip off :rolleyes:

Skirting and that is done in lineal metres, so who ever quotes you will quote you in lineal metres (if its just skirting) and not m2. The biggest cost will be plastering. If youre looking at doing...

Its not that fiddly, its just the lock mechanism getting it all lined up and then screwing it together, lets just say its not as easy as other ones.

Oh no, i hate those Gainsborough ones, i did 2 of them a couple of weeks back, so fiddly.

You can spray clear coat that used on cars and paint, that should make your lines stay there for a while.

If those are the window sizes and they are correct then its full height window and that part of the bottom plate will be cut out.

Usually when putting a DPC down its a embossed black polythene plastic, looks like black plastic but its alot thicker, or you can use bituminous coated non-ferrous metal like copper or aliminium. It...

Geez thats an awesome name for a site aye :p

Arrrr that would explain why we have the AS1684 at TAFE and nothing about the Tradac Manual, thanks Bitingmidge....Actually come to think of it i can buy the AS1684 at TAFE :)

Where abouts can i buy it though, i googled Tradac and didnt return much.

Thanks guys, really appreciated, ill post pics when its done.

Hey would anyone know where i can get a copy of the Tradac Framing Manual?

Thanks mate, i think ill need to use 100x50 actually because its not very high from ground level to deck. Do you reckon i could go continuous span or just single span from stump to stump? And joists...

It also depends on what MpA they used for the concrete at the time, it may have been a low MpA because its only a driveway to take a car not a truck. So if youre only going to take a concrete truck...

The windows would have been installed correctly, it would be just the plasterboard not sitting flat on the stud, happens all the time. What you can do is cut the plasterboard back a little bit so the...

Anybody out there willing to reply?

Hey guys, me and a mate are about to a deck at my place, we are both Apprentice Carpenters so we know whats going on but another Chippy told me i should put 4 stirrups across a 5.8m span, but i was...

The house was built right next to a river. This flaking of paint is right around the house. I'll show my Boss that TechDry thing, thanks ozwinner and the rest for your help :)

So do you guys know of any ways to fix the problem? The DPC got sealed up with a Waterproofing solution, the water escape holes arent sealed up though.

Ok, my Boss built this stunning house on the water 2 years ago before i started with him (Apprentice Carpenter), and theres been some problems with the paint on the render, its started bubbling below...

Hmm new to me, although i am an Apprentice :D

Do you mean with cupping just like twisting or bending or folding backwards.

Dont think there is any significant reason for this, i think its just part of the manufacturing process. When we do our own Architraves and Skirting we dont have that on the back and it makes no...

A great big bloody boot and a rag so you can wipe em off your boot....if nothing works resort to violence (boot's n stuff).

Creosate is not available anymore, got taken off the market, i would have suggested it aswell if i hadnt of known.
