Chris, you are correct. The reason is because I have a slight cover by the door to act as a weather shield so needed something flexible to provide a seal and to get over this obstruction. All I did was staple it to the inside of the fascia board of the roof.

Hope the attached sketch helps

Many thanks Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

I'm trying to see how you went about sealing the gaps between the roofs and walls. It looks like you've used the wide DPC membrane material for this ??

I'm looking at getting my obsy clad tomorrow and will be looking at how to seal it. I don't suppose you have any photos showing the ends of the ROR and seals in more detail so that I can see how you've done it. Sorry if it's any hassle.

Cheers

Many thanks

Hi Malcolm,

I have found this thread a great read and very informative for when I build my own obsy hopefully in the near future.

With regards to piers I have a few questions as I think I am going to go down the same route as you with a concrete pier using waste pipe.

• Did you pour the concrete for the foundations and pier at the same time, or did you fill the waste pipe afterwards when you fitted the pier adapter?
  
• With regards setting the pier adapter plate into the concrete I can't quite tell from the photos how many of the 6 threaded bolts you initially cast into the concrete. Is it just the 3 holding the bottom plate down or did you cast the other 3 which connect to the top plate also?
  
• What size bolts did you use?
  

I'm looking to make up some drawings for my pier adapter in sketchup as I have a friend who is a fabricator who may be able to get it made up for me.

Thanks in advance for the information and once again thanks for a great thread. I'm looking forward to starting my own thread when I am able to sart my own build
