Personally I'd have a chat with the neighbour.
Show them the gap and explain that the gap will fill with debris that once wet will slowly wick through the single brick…

The channels look something like this inside

It's just a short pop rivet into a hollow box channel. The channels are designed to have pop's attached.
Just drill it out and put in new short pop rivets

They had to drill the hole for the rivet in the first place so you should be fine.

I think you will find that once you remove that steel frame, by working horizontally from the edges you will be able to remove one brick at a time. They…

It's a truss roof.
I can see it from your roof space picture.

With truss roof construction it's only the outside walls that are load bearing.
Trusses are designed to self support through the middle.
Usually any wall internally can be moved.
Stick or pitched roof…

Remove the steel edging and then remove the top bricks by hitting them horizontally at the mortar joints.
If you hit them sideways most of the force will push against the…

If the bottom chord of the truss isn't sitting on the wall and there is nothing else sitting on it then it's non load bearing. It should be removable with…

Hi Dean
The pictures really don't show enough to give you an accurate assessment.
What is the house and roof construction?

If you want electronic opening you would need to use the mortice lock as discussed paired with an electric striker. The door can then be opened with a key or…

Hi Rojlith
The door in the picture just has a simple mortice lock that works with a key.
You can achieve this with any door if you want.

As pulse said, the carcass of a kitchen is typically built using white HMR particle board.
The door, drawer fronts, end and back panels are usually made from MR MDF and…

You didn't mention where you are and if your planning on single or double storey house.

The structural strength is provided by the tile and adhesive, not the grout.
As building and legal pointed out the covers lift up so they can grout underneath.

The tiles are stuck to the balcony with tile adhesive and the spigots for the balustrade are screwed into the verandah.
The grout has nothing to do with the balustrade.
The grouting…

Why not use 6mm villa board. A better wet area product.

Hi Rob.
I drive past your place every now and then. I've moved not that far from you. Good to see your still enjoying it.
I enjoyed having a look through when…

If you want to do it yourself, follow Stewie's advice and use a liquid paint stripper and then dispose of the stripped paint in the bin.
If you want someone else…

1) Trade user. Carpenter
2) Folding, sturdy, weight holding capacity, light, replaceable wood top
3) flimsy legs that don't lock positively, small feet that sink in soft sand.
4) look for all items…

Dilute acid and a stiff brush.
Worst case you could sand blast the area. It's a simple attachment that fits on a pressure washer.

If it's just path or driveway then there is no need to vibrate. Correct placement and screeding will be adequate.
Vibrating exposed agg can makes the stones sink causing irregular exposure…

BGC is trying to sell. It's the second attempt in 4 years.
From Financial Review
"The BGC board has now kickstarted a renewed push to sell the company, which has been simplified…

For tiled walls it just recommend fixings at 150 centres and studs at 400 if you are using 6mm villaboard.
If it's not tiled adhesive and fixings at 200 centres is…

For tiled walls, Hardies recommend nail fixing only at 150 centres.
What thickness of sheet are you using?
Hardies supply very good installation manuals for their products.

Is it just 20mm stone you are having or is it going to be 40mm. Are you having mitred edges, are there any breakfast bar overhangs, does it have a…

This post is just an advert for the company mentioned in the first post. Every post by George mentions the same company.
No one is that clueless.

Hi Chris.
By the look of the pictures you can't just add 150mm to the top of the steps because you will lose your negative detail that is going to give…

We need more information.
Can you find a picture that shows what you are after.
