I put the plug in a weatherproof enclosure but I'm having doubts about the life of the cable. It's very thin and I know it'll end up getting snagged at some point if left dangling out of the enclosure. I was going to put the cable into some conduit but how do I connect the conduit to the weather...
I have a Jarrah pergola, with the posts attached directly to a concrete pad. I want to put 3 courses of brick around the base.
Is there a method for this to reduce moisture And extend the life of the post?
I'm waiting to receive the planning documents for the swimming pool. Although the pool building is attached to what was the shop, if there's any mention in the plans that the use of the building is to support the pool (changing rooms etc) then I'd consider that the class has been changed back to...
I'm still waiting to hear back from the planners about the swimming pool application, with the submitted documents.
Having read through the latest planning submission, it seems that the tenants want to use the building for a coffee shop.
The work started, the fish and chip shop opened for less than 6 months in 1987 then shut down. There has been no further commercial activity in that building or anywhere within the residential curtilage for 36 years.

Local residential property had an outbuilding that was granted planning permission in 1987 for a fish and chip shop. Local people tell me that it lasted 6 months then closed down due to not being financially viable. In 1998, there was an indoor swimming pool granted planning that was attached...
So the paving will fall (which works out about 1:65 anyway) and the brick pillars will be level and then once the posts are in I can decide if I should level the beams or have them fall based on the surroundings.
I have a pergola walkway planned that drops 140mm over 9m to fall in line with the slope of the garden. There are 5 posts (per side) over the 9m with brick plinths built around the base.
What's the best advice in dealing with the slope?
1. Should the entire structure be sloped parallel to the...
In theory, you could dig a trench and it could be argued that you'd started. Talk to the building inspector and see what he'd want.
I got a 8m x 8m garage up to the slab and was signed off as making an acceptable substantive start. That was 9 years ago now.
