Coach screws do not require a nut on the end. coach bolts do.

All in plastic, why use clay unless it’s been specifically asked for. ideal fall is 1::40.

Butt join. top in first then the two sides.

Who built those steps 🤪🤪 Everyone I talk to is booked for months.

Doesn’t the whole installation look a bit shit.

If it’s a detached property with a couple of metre gap between you and the neighbours, 100mm up or down wouldn’t even notice, so I don’t think they care that much. i would set it up as high as you dare, it will help with drainage runs and run off from the field behind, and your retaining wall will be shorter.

The side your not knocking down ???

For this area get a screed company in, they will be in and out in a day and it will be spot on, I did traditional screed with fibres. fantastic finish from a company that does it all day everyday.

Do you have any thoughts on a trip to the self build centre in Swindon I have a 1m off cut of guttercrest stuff you could have, but not going to be able to post it. it’s in ral 7016.

Fill out your form showing minimal lighting, get the condition signed off. install all first fix wiring to all the places you actually want lighting, second fix minimal lighting as per approved plans, get house signed off. get electrician back and fit the lights you wanted. if I complied with everything I’m supposed to on my site, I might as well not live here. natural England wanted to know how many times we cut the grass. FFS.

Just been to a mates place, some excellent wall paper in his place, if it’s a small area you can afford to go up market as the cost per m won’t kill you, it will always be dearer than painting, but will add so much more with a good design. the pic is something I’ve just done, loads will hate it, some will love it, it’s you house, no point asking other people’s opinion on this really. happy wife, happy life.

Mine is all green and dirty, when cleaned it comes up spotless like the day it was put up. it fits the style of my place well, it matches the roof well. without wanting to sound like a wa###r is there a reason you just don’t go with plastic. it will save you £1200 + is easy to maintain or change if needed. for a standard looking house I would just use plastic.

Don’t seal it, leave it alone, the incorrect bricks have been used below dpc, nothing you can do about that, so you need to stop moisture building up against the wall. if you want a better fix you need to cut the path back by 100mm and fill the gap with free draining gravel. but that’s loads of agro unless your super keen and actually have a damp problem.

3 hours ago, Conor said: Most water companies won't allow sub metering, you'll need your own supply. i agree with this, normally if there was 5 barn conversions on a site you would see 5 new covers with 5 meters, in a new patch of tarmac outside the site.

If when you dig your hole it fills with water, you then want to concrete it in.
