    Old drain cover

    It’s a bit bigger than standard but you should be able to get something from one of the merchants or online. You will have to replace the lid and frame.

    gravel driveway

    Your ton bags will measure more like 800x800x800mm rather that a 1mtr cube so you would need more than 6.6 to get 100mm over 66mtrs.

    Joist size for loft storage room?

    I’ve ordered the 6x2 to come on Wednesday. She doesn’t have anything to store up there yet with her being a first time buyer but no doubt, with being a woman, she will soon have a mountain of crap up there :LOL: I was also thinking should I screw or bolt to the rafters? The small stuff there...
