Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

Took me and Les bloody ages to work out how to get it up there and make sure it stayed up.  It's fibrous plaster, so weighed a ton….

[Matty123]

I’m glad you did. Im sure you are too. There’s a story for expert fixture in your house. That’s some cool
Shit.

Copper guttering and downpipes for the BBQ area.  Now just need some serious evo, living in a salt-laden atmosphere will help with that….

[Matty123]

Lovey stuff @Giles

Round Gutters make me weak in the knees. Make them copper and I am downright smitten

This is how far we have got so far (I forgot to order a couple of joiny things because I am a rank amateur).  They will arrive tomorrow, hopefully with a shoe for the downpipe….

Lovely!

I knew the copper would tarnish quickly in our environment.  But this is ridiculous - after just 2 days

That copper is absolutely stunning

Nice copper fades coming along nicely

Finished….

And I got a harsh reminder as to how sharp cut copper is….

[Appfaff]

OH NO! I hope it wasn’t too deep of a cut G! The drains looks fantastic, however.

It gouged quite a deep hole.  Did not know anything had happened until I noticed my watch was on
the floor…..

I would have passed out [emoji43] lol

The copper gutters and downspouts look gorgeous! I learned a similar lesson recently installing a dryer vent, I have a nice scar on my wrist as a reminder how incredibly sharp thin metal can be.

[dinobarnesberlin]

That copper with the brick is a classy combo–-
blood, sweat, and tears.

Too true… I'm not showing Hot Ingrid. Our new place has already had an extension to the cellar added into the plan. It doesn't need copper gutters too. Although they would look the tits.
