I meant its 4784, so that'll leave me 11cm spare front and back, Expand A tennis ball on a length of string from the ceiling so it touches the windscreen when you are in far enough or a piece of 3x2 timber bolted to the floor as a stop for the tyres maybe? That or just handbrake it in backwards in a cloud of smoking rubber. Edited March 15, 2018 by leonk Space for dramatic effect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect him to TBH Expand The brickie my builder uses wont lay bricks if its below 2 degrees as apparently it makes the cement set a funny colour or something. To be fair to the guy, he`s not workshy, he knocks up walls like he`s been knocking back some speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Yea there's a clause in the specification usually ... something like: 'Masonry should not be laid until the ambient temperature is 2 degrees and rising' Freezing conditions will form ice crystals with any free water which will causes expansion and obviously will weaken the brickwork/masonry. Conditions here today will be OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Here's the NHBC advice (not that I take much notice of the NHBC's opinions) MASONRY 1.4 - S5 Masonry shall not be laid in cold weather unless suitable precautions are taken MINIMUM TEMPERATURES Materials which have been damaged by frost or are frozen should NOT be used. When the temperature is below or likely to fall below 2°C, masonry should NOT be laid unless heating is provided. The temperature should be checked throughout the day on a maximum and minimum thermometer. PROTECTION Newly laid masonry will need protection when the temperature is below or likely to fall below 2°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Rains stopped play at my place. However, ive given the builder the go ahead to extend my garage whilst he`s here (man logic and all that). Should mean I end up with a 11m x 5m (internal measurements) garage at the end of it. Tomorrows supposed to be nice & sunny so hopefully things can get moving again then.
