I Wish I'd Thought of This ~ 2-Minute Tip

[@jameswiggins5791]

Of all the years I’ve done fascias and struggled like mad on my own at times in the winter wind and rain off of ladders cursing the very day I ended up doing roofline, this will make my life so much easier 🤣 WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS?! You are a genius!

[@SkillBuilder]

James That makes it all worthwhile

[@stephenmccoy898]

Ordered the square yesterday afternoon came home from work and it was on the kitchen table I couldn't believe it, I live in Belfast how the fuck did it get here so quick unreal😝, anyway talk about great service, well Dan I'll be using this tool right away as we have a few roofs to do in the next few weeks, I've already been using the chart for a while now it's fuckin great, cheers pal

[@jag251080]

It’s always the simplest of things that make the difference 👍

[@jaycaple6750]

Dan’s the man with the helpin’ hand.... ! 💥👍🏽

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Thanks Ben.

[@peterbell4154]

Welcome back Dan, it's simple effective and safer. great to see you again on here and sharing, I want to be where ever you are, all I have here is rain and more rain my wellington boots are so full of water my feet have started to float to the top!!!

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Thanks Peter, we did have a great summer for weather, that’s about it. Where are you ?

[@TheBreaster]

Excellent idea. Thanks

[@SD43]

Little ideas can make a massive difference!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Roger cracking video great to see Dan absolutely top bloke to know and work with, awesome craftsman, that fascia trick is a pure class idea, I have Dans square and it is a game changer and it speeds the roof cut process up all the best to the both of you regards Tony 👍

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Thanks for the nice message Tony 👍. Glad the square is serving you well.. all the best.

[@grotekleum]

Necessity is the mother of invention. Freely sharing your knowledge like this is a noble and unselfish thing. Thanks for sharing, and I can see other uses for this great idea where a third hand would be welcome.

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

It’s nice to share, if it helps a few people out then great. Thanks.

[@webber977]

So simple its bloody GENIUS

[@paulsautocm]

Simple is always better, thanks for sharing.

[@zedman442]

Absolutely brilliant. These ideas all come out of necessity

[@SkillBuilder]

You are so right.

[@regiondeltas]

Well, I'm feeling well cocky now as that's exactly how I single-handedly fitted my fascias onto my DIY extension! It was during the height of COVID, so didn't really want to involve people if I could avoid it

[@patricknee7087]

as you mentioned covid at hermand are you aware of this kzbin.info/www/bejne/marNioWOhNqrrpI

[@roysammons2445]

Simple but very effective. Nice!!!!!

[@EricJacobson1990]

Thank you! This is way better than the chuck of 2x4 i always end up awkwardly splicing on while balancing precariously on my ladder.

[@68bwild]

Simple but perfect idea! I'm going to look for some ply...

[@soroako4142]

A couple of years ago I did something similar to help brace a Ketter poly shed against wind gusts while I got all 4 walls screwed together. My version comprised a 3M length of 75x30 with a U shaped off cut screwed to one end and a matching cut off clamped to the other end. They worked a treat [I made two of them], the slots were deep enough [about 300 mm] to get a good grip on the wall panels and it was a piece of cake to relocate them as I worked around the walls. Simple but effective.

[@billywhizz98]

[@disklamer]

I've heard these referred to as Dutchman’s Pants and you make them whatever size you need to space or bracket things. Of course being a Dutchman myself I always forget about the pants and end up using pieces of string and clamps and blocks with nails through like everybody else.

@@I-am-not-a-number Brilliant

[@harveysmith100]

@@I-am-not-a-number There speaks a man who works on site and has had to deal with Architects.! Worked on so flats recently, the carpenters were doing the Mansard Roof, they kept asking the site agent for the drawing for the north elevation. He kept saying, "It is all on the PDF you have been sent." I was the bricklaying foreman, when we went up there to build some internal walls, I noticed the plans faded out towards the north elevation. I raised this with the site agent. He called the architects who said they would get back to him. It turned out they had just forgotten to do the drawings for the north elevation on the top floor!
