After public consultations on the whole scheme, PS15,000 was set aside to upgrade the
birdsmouth fencing with decorative railings and construct the footpath at the Flatts Lane site, opposite Hollywalk Avenue.
Proposal: Development of enclosed play area, bitmac and gravel extension to existing car park, games area, relocation of existing storage container, general landscaping improvements including
birdsmouth perimeter fencing, dog waste bins, litter bins and picnic benches and new steps and ramps, appropriate street signage and one CCTV column and lighting columns at Oakey's Field, Barn Hill, Stanley, County Durham.
The guide contains illustrated drawings of floor, wall, and roof components, plus offering solutions to common errors in frame openings, joist hangers and nails, blocking, holes and notching, cantilevers, load paths,
birdsmouth cuts, roof loads, rafter ties, ridge beams, and trusses.
One fairly common problem I see with rafters is overcutting the
birdsmouth. This can weaken the framing by encouraging rafters to split.
