Hello
This will be my first self build. I'm quite handy in terms of DIY. However, I need to ensure I've taken everything into account.
Basically I am building a single story outhouse no higher than 2.5 meters at MAX.
I need to know how far down I need to dig to lay the foundations and waterproof membrane.
Point to note:
My garden is lower than all of our neighbour's, so generally, all/ most of the water comes down to ours and there have been times our garden has flooded. In order to avoid this, I am thinking of either raising the garden bed by adding lots of soil, I do wonder whether adding some drainage into the garden leading back to either the gulley or our private manhole would be worth it? I do plan to plumb the outbuilding. Should I plumb straight into the plumb works of the outbuilding or direct line it to the gulley / manhole?
