Thank you for your reply. So, above the kitchen and dining area there is a bedroom and bathroom. It doesn’t looks like it’s supporting anything. It’s seats between ceiling beams.

Hi y’all, is anyone can assure me if this wall is a partition wall? Wall is between a kitchen and dinner. It’s/was pretty thin with the doors. Architect who did a drawing for patio doors has said 99% is a partition wall, and we can take it down. Just want to confirm if anyone can tell me more about it. There is no foundation underneath just floor beams which goes same way as wall. It’s fixed with maybe 4 nails in corners and apart from that just sits on floor board. Kitchen doors (outside one) has been blocked off.

Yeah , that’s right rainwater is causing this marks. And also gaps between capping partly gone due to movement. What I’m thinking of is redoing that gaps and lay down a metal capping on the top of existing. You think using frost/water proof glue like tiles glue will do the job?

Good morning y’all ! I’m trying to sort out this water/dirt marks. So I’m looking for solution what is going to be the best way to fix it. Was thinking of filling up the gaps between this blocks and then lying sort of rubber or fix metal capping with dripping verge on the top of this blocks. House needs a full paint but I’m not gonna do it before I sort it out. Can anyone please recommend how to approach it? Bartholomew

i would like to avoiding removing door frame tbh. He about to tied up blocks into the existing wall? Then put insulation inside the door frame and build frame to fit plasterboards inside? Outside wall finishing up with mortar. On the top of that I’m planning cladding . See post below. Thanks https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/blockingopening.htm

hi all! I wondered if you guys can help me out and guide me how and what materials to use to block up this doors. Do I need to remove them completely or just block it on using timber and plasterboaerd what about gaps between doors and frame can I just seal it lock doors and put insulation? Any ideas? Thanks ?

Also guys... so please see picture below. So between kitchen and dining room was wall... was because I knocked it down. Of course architect was involved but he just said I can put this down with no worries. I’m bit sceptical about it now. Is this wall could support anything?

Hi. I’ve bought this screws which you recommend for me. And they actually doing great job. Apart from that one it’s seems like just go half into the floor. There’re is no pipes there so what possibly can go wrong .. asking for friend ?

Hi all, Just bought my first house and what is drives me mad is squeaking cracking floorboard. I’ve removed laminated floor from 2 rooms and noticed that floor is squeaking soooo much. Floorboards are fixed with nails rather than screws. Can you please recommend some diy to fix it. And also what’s the best screws to use. Should I predrill before fixing screws? Should I removed all the nails? Thanks for any help!
