I don’t like untidy (part of being OCD I am told,)
I am a bloke ?♂️ ( Er indoors has twice the size wardrobe as me and her summer collection is in the loft ).
They look like clay tiles and they tend to curl slightly when fired so that’s quite normal, concrete versions tend to be flatter but not as nice looking.
That would be such a shame to demolish that garage, can you not create a drive around it?. I am a fan of the look of dormers but they are difficult to insulate properly without looking overly chunky. I would try to loose them.
I built a walk through wardrobe going to our en suite, hers (large) to the left, mine (small) to the right. I had intended to build doors but not yet got round to it (if I ever do!) and it works well. Being open means we (I) have to be tidy ?.
Well I used floplast cast iron effect and it looks very good, people have actually thought it was cast iron (from a distance!). does the job well and much cheaper than some.
I like that idea of threaded rod into concrete in holes, cheap, easy to DIY. @Declan52 are you watching?, far easier than concrete base!!!, just convince er indoors.
IMO yes, very noisy, apt to breakdown, they pump uphill at their location only so you need a waste pipe at the “office “ with a gradient down to your mains drains. “Upstairs WC” ?.bog on stilts ?.
Oh no, rockwall for me, recycled glass bottles etc, no fire risk ? I did however have to use “plastic” insulation under my slab as rockwall won’t support concrete ?.
Makes interesting listening, was pleased to hear the major manufacturer of insulation makes rockwall type which recycles old glass and is zero combustible (Grenfell!) which is the majority of my insulation.
But are you claiming RHI?, lots on here are not, if hubby is the installer(plumber) then I am sure he can make it cool after it’s signed off (wink wink).
I did this at a previous house, wooden posts with chainlink fencing. Planted bushes /trees next to it and they grew through the chainlink eventually holding it up (so the dog next door could not get through ?
