About 6 weeks ago I made this (painted red-oxide) steel framework for a house extension in South Norfolk.
Yesterday I went over there to complete the work by installing the bracket work into the now confirmed positions for fitting the bi-fold doors and double glazing which included the unpainted box section shown just above the scaffold kick boards in the first photo and left foreground of the second photo..... All installed and given a lick of red now.

Had some nice visitors to the workshop today both the SD1 and Capri are off on holiday to Portugal next weekend in our truck
After fighting with a bolt earlier it was nice to see an unsilenced v6 and v8
Awesome!
Funnily enough I saw my first SD1 Vitesse in ages on the road the other day - British registered in the Picos De Europa on my way down to Portugal.
Loads of other classics there as well - big rally.
Didn't get a pic of the Rover but lovely xk150.View attachment 197476
It’s an HTCC Capri and the others are mostly big healeys as we specialise in them
Not understanding those joints, never seen the like of them before, please explain.
A certain local architectural partnership around here seems to currently favour using this design of joining gabled steelwork on extensions.
This is the third set up of this design in the last 12 months I have made to their drawings. The box is 100mm x100mm x6mm with 12mm thick plates at all bolted points. The sandwich joint is 3 layers of 12mm plate connected with qty 6 of M20 Grade 8.8 BZP bolts
Sure we had this convo before.Whats it for?![]()
