    It's also a very clear breach of planning laws unless it all flooded onto the pavement beforehand, did your contractor arrive on a horse?

    Is vinyl flooring suitable to use instead of tiles in a shower?

    Yes they're not really DIYable and there is nothing like the range of finishes/colours there is for tiles, they're quite utilitarian as they're not really aimed at domestic users. A very practical solution though.

    What to do to turn this into a garden bench?

    Hmm, that's quite easy to do but quite awkward to explain. How handy are you with DIY?

    Erecting Fence over boundary wall ?

    If you built the fence as hit and miss it will still provide good privacy but the wind loading will only be about 15% less. Obviously the more open the fence is the less private it becomes. Ownership aside, fix a fence to a wall at your peril it might be fine it might not.

    Erecting Fence over boundary wall ?

    If you don't know who owns it then you have to assume it is theirs, in which case you cannot touch it let alone fix posts to it, which is probably not a good idea anyway. So your posts ought to be concreted into holes in the ground.

    Erecting Fence over boundary wall ?

    @Rake722 It was pretty obvious to me what you meant, anyway who owns the wall? How tall are you wanting to make it?

    If it's just a plain door to be painted (ie not paneled) you can cut down a fire door blank to any size/shape you want.

    Cutting down a FP30 fire door.

    It depends what the manufacturers specifications allow, find the data sheet for the door and it will tell what you are permitted to cut off the top & bottom.

    Very weak windscreen washers.

    Surely the jets will only be a few quid each, not worth faffing about trying to unclear them.

    Unknown structure in 1920s house

    Who knows, pry some plaster/plasterboard off and you'll find out, only way to be sure. Despite what many think, old houses were often constructed out of crappy materials, low skilled workers, dubious building techniques and developers who were only interested in profits.
