Pictures not the best but you can see how the white paper wall would go over

Yeah i have kept one lenght of dpc all the way there is no joins in it One issue i have is one of the internal brick walls goes right over the cavity and joins the external wall i dont know if it has been build like this for strengh or what ive the bottom section away but dont want to carry on...
