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

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….

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

[Giles]

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.

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.

@Giles I hope that the watch is okay. ???

Glad you aren't too badly damaged by the experience.

[Chris]

Did that actually chip the bezel?

Yikes.

Oh, how I can relate…

[Giles]

@Chris You got me worried, I had to check :D.  Must have been a trick of the light…..All intact after I did some gentle remodelling of the spring bar

[Giles]

Made some copper shrouds for the downpipe retaining bolts, because they were fugly…..

[motojobobo]

Excellent solution there!

Surprised you didn’t think of requesting custom GAH copper bolts for it.
