Hi guys, I'm getting stuck in to clearing my garden its about 12 by 40 feet terrace. I wanted to put decking down and then some seating made from oak floorboards that i have (obviously treating them first). I'm worrying about damp? See the pic. I was thinking that i should treat the...

thanks for the offer Peca27 and the words of encouragement everyone. I dont understand whats so funny about this 'I am likely to get PP so long as the design and material used is of high quality.' an identical planning application to my proposal got rejected on my road due to materials...

thanks for the lovely motivation. i think there is a slight misunderstanding. Currently i have a 50 foot garden which isnt over looked. The kitchen currently extends out by 5.5 meters. My lovely neighbour (landlord) extended out by a further 3 meters or so. So the full length is 8...

I am likely to get PP so long as the design and material used is of high quality. Also there is 2.5 meter wall on both sides of the kitchen, so neighbours cannot really complain. Especially as the left side has a Lean to which was built by the neighbour with the previous owner. I ws just...

thanks for your reply. I was thinking that if the temp is between 12-15 then the wood would be at the smallest (contracted size) so if i laid it with say 30mm gaps then that would be sufficient when it expands with the temp rising? or is that not feasable.

your humble experience is very valuable, can you tell me why screws are not a good idea. P.S i read on your website about being carefull about wood offers on the net and random lengths. I found it very informative. So thanks for that. Also should i leave the wood in the current room...

The subfloor is old victorian pine, my plasterer was messy. Should i turn the heating on and then do checks? Also the manufacturers guidelines say there should be no more than a 4% difference between oak and subfloor moisture levels. When i take the readings for the oak, it gives me different...
