If you avoid digging any big holes and clad it in something other than wood or uPVC, you don't need regs, it's just a shed. Timber framed would probably cost more in materials and time than the blocks alone, but when you factor in digging foundations and pouring concrete, it might start to...

The other option is to abandon the blocks idea, just build a couple of courses of brick off the slab, and put up a timber framed shed, you could use metal cladding sheets or fibre cement cladding to meet the 'substantially non-combustible' rule, insulate between the studwork for bonus thermal...

Dig a test pit at the edge of the slab and see what's what. You could save some digging by doing a pad and beam foundation, but you'll still have to dig holes for the pads, then the expense of steel beams, rebar or massive concrete lintels. When you come full circle you'll probably decide that...

Do you want to risk having to rebuild it?

You may have undermined the house! Older houses didn't always have a 'proper' foundation.

Install gate first, temp fix the new higher post with short screws/bungee/gaffa tape. Have a spare shorter timber to hand and show them how each option looks.

Depends on your area, in some places people will take any old crap! Write potential uses for it in your advert, this might inspire someone to think they need it. Dirty gravel, could be washed in a sieve and reused, or used to fill a disused pond, build up ground or increase soil drainage.

Because they want you to buy more!

Well I'm glad we finally got this cleared up after 18 years.

I'm not gonna guess an answer, but to elaborate on your question, what constitutes your foundation?

Steel post? Might have to dig a new pad under it.

Upvc trim, ask local window fitters for offcuts.

The fact that he went along with this at all, rules him out for me.

Wow, that's amazing! A water park inspired water closet.

It's not just builders who are chancers these days, some professionals can be very unprofessional... Happy wife happy life! I think the neighbour would've put me off buying the property before the dodgy insulation job did. You might as well go and live in the garden! I can think of mamy...

Was it signed off by a Mr Steven Wonder? Is there any indication of insulation between that OSB deck and the fibreglass roof deck? It looks like insulated plasterboard has been used, this would normally be in addition to a much thicker insulation layer above it, it's woefully inadequate by...

Fix the door problem first. A couple of fire doors, one for the garage and one for the arch. No point in lining walls whilst you have a gaping hole for sound to pass through.

Nightclubs

Standard!

According to the Guardian, wearing union jack slippers makes you far right.
