Hi all Does anyone know what purpose these pillars serve? I want to replace this door with French doors so I assume if these support the doors the builder needs to take one pillar off, extend the gap and rebuild before putting the French doors in They seem to be laid flush with the garage...

Hi I want to create a floating floor as follows 18mm P5 T&G 25mm PIR 1200 gauge DPM Original garage floor Challenge is, the existing floor is tamped so not even. I’m assuming I would need to level it with self levelling compound before I start or would the PIR absorb any bumps in the...
