Just got back from a first fix where I spotted these.

Above that lintel the wall carries all the way up to support the purlin. The 3rd photo is the cut through to the extension. It might only look like a couple of courses of bricks but the roof timbers are resting on those brick.

And just before I left I helped him move some wardrobes to cover some stairs so that the BCO will not know that he converted his loft last year without PP.

Theres worse out there. At least it has something in the way of support, if not much.

the steel really hanging off that bracket? Wonder why it wasn't put in bearing onto brickwork in the first place...

It's a timber lintel (old house) and it was resting on brickwork before widened the old doorway so he added the bracket. The exposed amount of timber/lintel show how much he has widened the gap.

No. But I do believe my neighbour is going to be in trouble over his driveway (or lack of one)!

BTW The first link you gave is to the wrong episode:-)

I took my Dad to see John Cleese performing his Alimony Tour earlier this year. Well worth the money.

Buggerit. Sorry. Too much Cab Sauv too early. Possibly

Apart from your being a dutiful son that also strikes me as a good investment given what you've said about his house :)

The second link is the right episode but did you notice something strange? The whole thing has been flipped, as if viewed in a mirror. look at the Private office sign, Grandfather clock and especially O'Reilly's van. The end credit sequence is not affected.

I had noticed that.

Maybe a way to beat an automatic copyright infringement on YouTube?

Well the BCO has been round today and kicked off.

A pity that he had not seen the offending items in my photos or he really would have had a fit.

The next photo after these three looks more amusing. What did you drop on your ankle to get a lump that size ?.

Flipping the screen is definitely a way to beat automatic copyright infringment detectors.

I have just flipped the screen and uploaded some copyright material as a test (with a little help from a friend)
