bugger - thats whats bulking my meals up, so I don't feel too hungry

so basically - I have to go faster, but man its hilly here

there's always some type of meat on the dinner plate - chicken usually, pork etc i'm ok with fizzy drinks - i never usually drink them anyway - its mainly water and cups of tea what about the kcal burn on the app ? is that correct

Another question for you guys I've been hitting the diet and exercise routine (gotta lose 2 stone) for this last week - achieved 4lbs in my 1st week food - mainly reduced portions, but breakfast = museli lunch = salad and pasta dinner = mostly unchanged, but not having chicken skins, no chips and substituting with rice and pasta main thing i've given up is biscuits and crisps i'm also going out every night on my bike and apart from a bruised arse - doing around 3 and half miles and the odd run about 1 and a half miles (knees are not holding up well though at the moment). The thing is, the app I use says on a run I use up about 160kcals but on my bike barely 60kcals - is this right - 'cos I feel just as shagged after either exercise

you won't have any problems with that Daryl Zhorno - the reason that holds (at the moment) is that the weight is unifomerly spread along all the roof and you're quite close to the support point ie the wall plate. Timber will bend a lot before breaks - so what you will be getting there is deflection, but for a short time - my suggestion to you though is DO NOT do that again - put the steel in first and then cut the struts out - alternatively get some acro struts under the ceiling below

That would be flocking awful

I think what you see there...........is a marked man

ah Will - I see your problem....................you have an iphone

here you go - this is what you need to do

looks like it might be raining with you there Will - don't be a wuss, get out there ps dry and sunny here

there we go - everyone updated http://maps.yourgmap.com/v/7_1me_350z-370z-uk.html

Think thats everyone now ? - if not pm me cheers

+1 although I've yet to see one in the flesh. Pete I have and was surprised when I didn't like it as much as I expected to. yep - I thought that too

If you want to screw extra timber over (probably not necessary) but plywood would be your best option. The longitudinal bracing (the horizontal ones) and the diagonal bracing stop the roof from racking ie domino effect - there are (should be) metal straps built into the wall and fixed over the last 3 trusses - these are the ones that stop the gable masonry falling over - all form part of the whole

I was going to berate you for your spelling then

yep - what I said, but I put it in English for you

true - but thats not what they're designed for you can keep loading it up and find out what the shear and bending stresses are for real - good luck with that though

Fink Trusses (commonly known as gang nailed trusses - thats the metal spiked plates joining the 2 bits of timber together) are designed on the whole to carry light storage and your ceiling load ie plasterboard. As Martin ^^ said it is best to spread the weyrock chipboard across the joint (although the gang nails are very strong) You'll be fine to store stuff up there, so long as it is "light" storage ie not your weight lift kit in one spot. Also its best to try and spread the loading out and to keep the heavier stuff nearer the node points - the struts and wall plate points (better closer to the wall plate) Whatever you do - DON'T remove any of the struts and or bracing hope that helps

I'll comment later for you - i'm having my dinner

you're not kidding - if you check my 1st post - its a joke gif , but its been fun anyway Longer than your build thread would be if you had one. I don't need a build thread - my car came with a finished colour

you're not kidding - if you check my 1st post - its a joke gif , but its been fun anyway

is this the one you wear GM ?

so long as she's young and pretty (and he's "protected")

Agreed ^^
