Jaz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Jaz Have a look outside your bungalow. the barge board, think your house has them, is the board the gutter brackets are attached to. Not all houses have them though. Mine hasn't it just has corbelled brick work with gutter brackets that are built into the brick work itself. Marcus. I thought we had soffits.....but we have uprights and horizontals....shall google them later.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Get a larger size of half round Seriously though, with care. Care, a sharp scalpel and two rulers. Butt the half-round up against one ruler and hold the other one tightly on top, before lightly scoring along the length, over and over again. You can pack it out with bits of microstrip if it sits too close to the wall (e.g. the slates overhang it). As for individual plastikard slates, it's a recipe for warping in my opinion, and more hassle than it is worth. Use 150gsm card, which will stick to Plastikard with Mek (or Roket card glue - I've tried it and it works). 150gsm card also has the advantage that you can print off a grid / strips, and they have very little relief to them which is a good thing unless you want to depict a roof that has been tiled with stone (e.g. not slate) thank you, I don't have card, but i will investigate....I can see how the plastic might warp when card does not.....so a valid point,,,,,to a void remedial work later....and thanks for the how to cut the round.....i will investigate....

Marcus 37 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Actually just thought I've got it slightly wrong. They are as follows: Barge boards are the vertical boards on the gable ends which sit up underneath the overlapping tiles. Fascia board is the vertical board the guttering is fixed to. Soffit board is fixed to the bottom of the rafters which sits at right angles to the fascia board. You can also have a soffit board on the gables at right angles to the barge board. This is usually if there is an external rafter where the roof extends beyond the edge of the building. Marcus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted October 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Jaz, I love the road in Wellesby with the Victorian houses next to the 1930's one, including the back gardens. I am not sure I have seen anything quite like that. The Police house. I am glad that you did not hide the bottom of the downpipe that was not there behind a hedge as you would have to paint a large damp patch on the wall. More importantly they probably go down into open drains, you know the type with a wall n three sides and a grate over it, notone that disappears underground. The house does not appear to have facia boards or large sofits. the roof finishes very close to the edge of the wall. I first noticed something similar but even tighter to the wall I think in north Cambridgeshire near Ely, probably round the corner into Lincolnshire as well. Very different from our extension where the sofits are at least a foot wide as the roof overhangs quite a bit. The three portion toplight looks good. I am sure I have seen those before with the middle one opening, no that is not a suggestion I am not that cruel. Edit: The front door appears to be panelled which is why there is a darker portion.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted October 21, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi Jaz, To save you trawling back through my thread, I used the following for guttering and downpipes: 2.0mm round rod for the downpipes, and 2.5mm half round for the gutters. I used the half-round as it was, unlike Jason who quarters his: Although I'm not sure you need it, going by the pictures, to get the "S" bend at the top of the downpipe, I cut a very short piece of the rod off square, and then a longer piece at a 45degree angle. Then I glued the short straight piece between the two 45degree faces, like so: Then file off the overhanging bits to leave a smooth joint: Hope this helps, Al. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOH! but basically black low lights one side, white high lights the other \ brown leather shoes brown leather belt, brown leather buttons on waistcoat, blue jeans, blue wool waistcoat, blue cotton shirt.blue cloth hat.
