I brought a porch on E Bay for £100 and all it needed was a good clean and I had to make it taller so like you I made a wooden section and covered that in fascia board. Result. Thanks for your videos, always a joy to watch.

Just a note,it's soffit that was used not facia board,facia board is good to use in internal window sills,for diy it's a good job just you got the name of the materials wrong

Nice video! And I like your attention to the details. I had to replace parts of the metal railings on my front steps this weekend. Be thankful I'm not building bridges or airplanes. But the way I look at it, no one will notice if they're driving by fast enough. And gotta love that Hans.

Hiya Vikkie that's another great video with so many good tips, i had to keep pausing it to write notes down : ) those Spax screw's are a game changer and will be giving them a try. The porch looks a treat and will make life so much easier. All the best.

So on the drain, if there was a blockage would any pressure not push the blocks up or flood from underneath with the drain not being sealed?

Wait, so the corner pole is free standing ? That's a long distance on the fixed panel side and to be carrying the door weight on the other isnt it ? Also those SPAX screws... might be quicker but for the security of a plug not woring loose they would be my preferred option.

Do you have to obtain planning permission for a job like this? I'm always scared to do anything major on my hous as there are so many rules and regulations these days and don't want to get in trouble with the local authority?
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK21 күн бұрын
Funny you should ask... the build inspector is friends with my Dad and suggested this because it didn't require it. Although Fensa certificates will help to sell it. But an interesting story... the inspector told me a story about how he was selling his house and the solicitors insisted on planning paperwork and he had to insist several times it wasn't needed. I'd love to have known whether he said "do you have any idea what I do for a living?!" 🤣

Just wondering why you build a porch under a carport when the carport already protects your door
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK4 жыл бұрын
This way, no one feels they have to step outside to go into the utility room (the old garage). It's warmer in there and the door can be locked all the time for added privacy.

No, no, no. I'm not builder but it seems just wrong to attach the upvc frame to block paving. Block paving is loose on the ground as you well know. Sorry, I like many of your projects but this is cowboy stuff
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK4 жыл бұрын
I take your point if it was a room that would be sat in, for example you wouldn't do a conservatory like this.. in which I would say cowboy. But it's merely a bit shelter to tie two rooms together with an extra door to wash bikes with a drain. Also, the pavers are going nowhere and it's fixed securely at the top.

That looks like a nice little extension. It’s a shame you used white PVC though. I don’t understand the love most Brits have for this ghastly material. I think I would’ve used wood/timber instead. But other than that, great job.
