Yea tricky one, probably gotta be cruel to be kind, presumably you've 'shoved her through it' from that direction a few times? As she's happy exiting that way, the cat flap per se doesn't seem to be an issue so I'd hazard she'll use her favourite form of entry until you put an end to it.

Do you have masonry over the top too? Assuming your bifolds are floor supported they can be fixed back to the columns and beam above with window fixing clips. If you have masonry over the top then you will need something to support the outer skin so a flat plate welded to the bottom of your RSJ...

With plaster/plasterboard, whatever you're using to finish the inside of the blockwork. The bifolds should be set back say 75mm back from the outer face of the outer skin.

Inside, then the steel will be able to be insulated, you do end up with a more chunky corner but these fancy pants photos never show the condensation that must occur on the the inside faces of the column. Position your columns at the jambs in the inner skin, then they wont be a massive cold...

I have, he's got a dot and dab on masonry and he's made a hash of the holes, he just needs to fill the hole and carry on with the corefix.

It's a bit embarrassing that some of you don't know what corefix's are. Heyho.

Why not? They're designed for d&d.

Why not use some tapered washers eg...

No one will ever notice it. Except for you, every time you walk in the bathroom!

Cut them off flush with a hacksaw blade.

Could be a bit of bathroom wall cladding.

I suspect it's a case of first come first served. In anycase you should check your highways criteria for new driveways, for example down this way some authorities will restrict the overall width of new driveways (ie for two adjacent properties) and will also restrict the gap you can have between...

Well it does get a it ambiguous, hence a photo/plan might help. Is the bit on the right a garage? IF so is it original? Your second diagram is form the Scottish guidance btw.

A plan showing the layout would help, as would a photo probably. There can only be one principal elevation, it cannot be both walls.

Or you could always innovate! :p

This appears to be from the latest (approved) planning application but the beams aren't present on the drawings, the balcony barrier on the drawing is a railing yet now it's a parapet wall, perhaps it's a structure to hold the parapet up, most peculiar.

Yes

More than adequate, Lego doesn't weigh much, the depth of the screw holes varies I'd say from about 20mm at the corner to 10mm at the ends.

The vents are disintegrating already, hence requiring replacement.

Erm, you know you can get a genuine tile look with the panels? Best of both worlds IMO.
