I did, nothing came up with good information

As title says. 2 rsjs on a blocked gabled wall that will need rendering. What's best method of filling the rsj out for rendering plus rendering the underside of them. Will render be enough to stop them rusting.

It's 2 block high. The concrete if I remember right has to up to 150mm from dpc level

Here in donegal, we can't source them

I also forgot to mention this. It was to save going back and putting the lean mix concrete into the bottom courses.

Sorry, was just in from a day with lots of drink. Reading it back, I canna even understand it either. See pic. Will it be ok for this on the bottom courses then continue the blocks on edge on top 1 course up to DPC level. The blocks are 100mm thick, 100mm cavity. I know I will still have...

425mmx210mmx100mm blocks and will have a 100mm cavity on top of concrete footings. Is it acceptable to have 2 block on top and one butted up beside it for block on flat 150mm below dpc rather than 2 block on flat crossed over with another 2 block on flat on top which brings me up to the 425mm...

Agree!! Nothing worse than the labourer leaving it harden in the mixer. OP, I remember a time there was a fire lite in the drum to loosen it all up.

If size didn't really matter, why isn't there no 3 inch dildos.

My garage floor will be level with the dpc. The floor will be 150 above ground level. It'll have a small slope(ramp) of concrete when finished. If and when I get tarmac level with my footpaths, it'll bring me up close to the 25mm as you mentioned.

It's The mesh will be 6mm or 10mm and for a large area, it'll help with the shrinking. As for the base, will decide between now and next week will I dog it out.

No, not the mesh. I am asking is there any need to dig out solid ground to replace with 150mm of hardcore and sand. Sure I I could just put 50mm of sand down.

As the title says. Is there any need for 150mm stone under a slab of concrete in a garage if it's solid ground with 50-75mm of broken limestone chippings that's settled 20 years. Im thinking why the need to dig down 200mm to replace with 150mm of stone and 50mm of sand then roller it when I...

I dont smoke weed but really like the smell of it. Count yourself lucky your a nice free air freshener haha

Be careful you haven't just made the authoties known of a grow house. Your neghibours could end up turning on you. I would have mentioned it to them first.

I'll be ordering my steel lintels for my garage tomorrow but want to run a few things by you first. The garage will be a double skinned block rendered wall with 600mm spaced trusses. It'll have 2 opes for the garage doors. When ordering, do they come pre drilled so I can tie both together same...

yes, hollow blocks. have seen them up north

Have never laid cavity block, only 9inch solids however i have a job on where the client has asked me to lay some. Im capable enough to build walls and small garages with 9inch solids but wanting to know would there be much difference between the 2 type blocks laying them.

No, good ground it is. Its just the min regs here for foundations are what i said above

Would this be the case for both doors. If I had a 4m door on the gable and 3m on the side?
