Metric timber sizes. Another downfall of joining the supposed common market,which then became the EU.
Just by giving you 1mm less thickness, they are nicking 2,976,800 sq.mm off you! Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I tend to use tads, smidgeons, a bit of that and that great lump of wood over there. Its usually right.
Cheers for the feedback everyone - I have decided that I am going to go for an 838 door and have found a door lining which measures 932 for the 838 door so that should give a nice finish. Another "issue" potentially. The garage roof is currently flat, and at some point in the next 5 years or so, I will have an extension built above it to give another room. This will be done by a professional company. At the same time, if they feel that the garage roof needs reinforcing or whatever, then I will happily get that done too. At the moment however, a small beam appears to be resting onto of the existing door pedestrian door frame. This beam does not appear to be secured into the brickwork of the house at all. If I replace the frame, then it appears that this beam would not be supported (the previous owner was a bit of a cowboy it appears and stated that he was a builder). At the moment, I can actually grab the existing door frame and rock it completely, resulting in the bit of supporting wood moving too under the beam. What would be the best way to support this beam? Would rawl bolts be sufficient in strength to support it when secured into the brickwork of the house? As mentioned already - I will use professionals if/when the ceiling needs reinforcing or even replacing for an extension. This isnt something I would attempt. Some pictures just to show the beam I am concerned about. There is nothing on top of the flat ceiling at present.
Rawl bolts or similar should be fine. it is very likely the roof would need to built when extension commences. Another option is to install a vertical upright on the door opening, space permitting.
