Bodgy Brothers Strikes again

20/3/2013

2 Comments

 
When my sons were growing up, and we had a building project, we called ourselves "Bodgy  Bros Constructions). Well we are back in business, however I am on my own' except for the ever present "Murphy"!
I am trying to put a Pergola on the front of our house, and using loxons to fasten the post's stirrups to the concrete pads has proven difficult, with tolerances too fine for  Mr Bodgy . But after two days, the posts are swaying in the breeze.

Mr Bodgy measures once, cuts twice!

Martin, always a challenge doing it solo! Have you tried dynabolts or chemical anchors? Being older concrete use a rotary drill rather than a hammer. If you try the dyna bolts drill the hole deeper than the length of the bolt (well & truly deeper thats the trick) Chemical anchor takes a bit longer as it has to cure. Hope it goes well for you.

Progressing slowly, have managed to get most of the rafters in place and is all beginning to feel pretty solid. Thanks for the handy hints, I will know net time.
