Thank you. I will.

Hi all, hope you are well. During this lockdown I have started trying to lay my patio. I have chosen some silver grey granite slabs and have started to lay them. Here is my process: 6:1 sharp sand and cement mix, this has a small amout of SBR mixed into it. An SBR and Cement slurry is spread...

The slabs are fully bedded on mortar, with extra mortar around them. I've had the stone delivered and placed it on tile adhesive so it should be bonded well to the slabs. If it falls over I'll eat my hat.

Thanks Bernard. Do you really think this stone could be blown over!? The stone is bottom heavy as it starts wide and comes to a point at the top, I would be amazed if even the strongest wind was able to move it even the smallest amount, let alone bring it to the tipping point.

I am just about to take delivery of a large piece of limestone, it has been cut to provide a completely flat base. It's going to be within falling distance of a window so I need to make sure it's a stable as possible. Have a look at the photos, the stones dimensions are; Height - 3ft 4” , Width...

Thanks. Actually, both the measurements can fall into the 3m rules depending where I measure from...... The area is bang on 3m² if I start the measurement in line with the corners of the house with are built out like a couple of brick pillars, and the roof is 3m tall if I measure from the damp...

Due to a couple of miscalculations my porch is bigger than I thought it would be. Do I need to apply for retrospective planning permission?

Here's a plan view. The walls in question are the diagonal ones. 20170117_215023 by TylerDurdenk posted 17 Jan 2017 at 9:50 PM Perhaps I don't need to fill them, perhaps just running the plasterboards slightly over will be okay at such a slight angle.

Hi, I need to create some stud work at a 20° angle to an existing wall. (Basically wall is straight then kinks off at 20° and then carries on straight, I hope that makes sense) I can only find information about making a 45° angle. I can work out the top and bottom plate cuts I need to make...

Thanks very much for your efforts. I've just had a little explore under the floor boards and discovered an inner wall. Does that change things?

The red lines show an idea of where the brick wall beneath the existing windows come to.

Does that help?

I don't quite follow this. Sorry.
