Gutter on outside of the envelope and then cladding in front with access to downpipes if needed (removable cladding section etc). haven’t read rest of post/s so might be barking up the wrong tree

I have been in a few jobs where the piles under a pool were to hold it down, not up. Many of the boat shaped fibreglass pools have recommendations to build the earth around then rather than plant them in the ground.

Hi and welcome, a 4”” sewer won’t be from many or only one property so a move is not difficult at all. If it was a bigger one that would be a different matter altogether.

I am just installing a pretty big system using Victron inverters etc. from EnergyMonkey

I used garage doors online and bought a sectional insulated door from Teckentrup, had to fit myself but it’s a good door and garage doors online were really good.

Loads of places have high water tables and digging a hole results in a pond, but filling the hole prevents water from collecting so it’s not noticed. You would only need a drain if you had water coming into a basement etc. go ahead, fill the hole and lay the toppings.

That has to be more than a coincidence 🤔

Good used machines are hard to find, plant hire companies rarely get rid of good machines so you need to beware of track drives and slew bearings. Leaking/chaffed hoses are easily replaced and rams can be generally be re sealed at reasonable cost but engines, pumps and slew bearings are expensive to replace.

How about build the new bit slightly wider and then over board the existing to get everything plumb and flat

If you don’t want the external handle to work you take the bar out, but then how do you open the door from the outside?

Interesting bit of design. To rescue this I reckon you need a good GRP roofer who would strip back and effectively form a waterproof and tough trough to prevent any more water getting under the tiles or flashings and funnel it to the gutter / down pipe

+1 if you are concerned, clean off a small patch of the top coat to see what’s underneath … very good chance it’s just a bright green paint (or paper) that’s now grinning through.

Good morning and welcome, we all have to start somewhere and BH is a great place to get info and advice from people who are doing it rather than just making videos for YouTube etc.

You need to be budgeting much more than £2/m unless you are doing a lot of the work yourself. It’s a relatively small build, quite a bit of messing about tying into existing etc. if this was mine I would be estimating at £4-5k per metre.

@Handra, sorry only just seen this. nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, but I am struggling to visualise your suggestion at the moment. Any chance of a sketch or doodle?
