I can be even more pedantic - the "it" refers to the arch, not to the lintel, so "below it" is correct...

Oh dear - what a lot of uninformed nonsense!

I'd use gravel, ...partly because I'm a bit lazy...

Personally, I'd find a plant that would grow in there that would give an even attractive framing to the slabs and plant it - Corsican mint comes to mind...

What's wrong with your kitchen?

Just to check - are there other people using your subscription? If not then go for personal rather than family - it's cheaper.

The other option is to use a free alternative like OpenOffice

Yes, that seems about right I'm afraid. What I've done is to insist on the version without ai, which is a bit cheaper - I think it's called office classic?

It is a con, pure and simple. If you decide to put in more insulation, just buy some and lay it over the top.

What kind of noises? What times? Constant or intermittent? Otherwise call Ghostbusters...

I find the chairs and tables very steady on gravel - if they aren't level you can just screw them into the gravel a bit. I've been surprised how successful it's been

I'd be tempted to make a low edge with stone/blocks/slabs around a new sitting area, and fill it with gravel - cheap, easy, and works well for us.

I found it didn't work well to stick my phone to the windscreen with whale's nostrils, but I guess it's worth a try?

My amateur thought is that it depends if the central wall is loadbearing. If it is, then the steel(s) above would have been specced to only span halfway, so wouldn't be beefy enough to go all the way across. It also depends on what load that wall is carrying from the room(s) above.

Are you planning to keep a central column, or remove the wall completely?

I'm impressed at the impressive suggestion of such sheer wilful ignorance: "there is no way of knowing" In this home, as in many others, the car is charged by a granny lead on most nights, and I'd be hard pressed to avoid knowing how much electricity is used to charge the car.

I'm intrigued - how can these people not know how much electricity they are using? It's kind of oddly impressive to have aquaintances with such an unusually distant relationship with reality - perhaps it is an emerging niche form of non-attachment to reality meditation practice?

probably a continual stream of thoughtless uninformed questions... Or a joyful invasion of benign aliens? Perhaps some kind of snooker club/post apocalyptic glamping site mashup? Or maybe just a continued unwillingness to do some basic maths? Perhaps an ongoing expectation that random...
