Apparently it is the standard build method on the continent. Plus you can see examples of builders using it.

I’m not saying it will be a walk in the park, but much easier with the the thin joint system, since the blocks themselves are highly dimensional accurate, and the tools lay an equal level of mortar, which is 2mm. Not watching brickie videos, watching videos on the manufactures web site. There...

3 of the 75x100mm wall plate timbers at the front. Stacked on top of each other so I get a slight sloping pent style roof. The 3mm screed was directly on top of the floor insulation, I’ve read you need to loose lay it, so no taping the joints, so I guess it will need a plastic sheet over it. I...

Yeah, I think I'm over panicking. So the ytong blocks with thin joint mortar, first course with proper mortar to get plumb and level so the rest are quick and easy. 440 x 215 x 100mm blocks, they seem easier to source but I'd rather use the 610mm blocks. 100mm x 75mm c24 treated for the wall...

At 3.6N will that be OK at around 2.2 meters high. 10 x 215mm bricks high? They are fairly light at around 6kg.

It only want about about 3 x 2.5 meters internally. And the back garden is 150sqm so it isn’t too bad. How does the roof add extra support? Noob.

I’ve jist found ytong blocks, they do a 440x215x300 high strength block with great initiating and acoustic properties. And with a 300mm width that would be solid! £59 per square meter. These blocks are also meant for thin set applications. The plan was to render outside with waterproof through...

When I move I am thinking of building a garden office so I don't need to use space in the house for that. I'd like to use Celcon 630 x 215 x 100mm blocks for speed of construction, and once I have the 1st course level and plumb I believe it is very easy to keep that all the way up using thin...
