I looks like a large stack to service just 1 chimney pot. Yes, your illustration is what I'm talking about. My money is on the fact that the other flues have been capped off and not properly ventilated. Also I wonder if there is water collecting, above the brick corbeling on the gable end...

That stack looks like there could be multiple chimney's. Possibly 4. You appear to only have 1 vented cowl. If the others are just capped off, this could be a contributor to the damp patches. To be ventilated it needs a vent in the room(s) and at the chimney pot.

It's a bit difficult to see what's what as your photos are cropped in, might help if you could take a photo or two showing a bit more of the surrounding area. Is there is any DPC in the solid wall to the right of the stone cill? Is the concrete floor newish or been down a while? Do you have...

Morning I'd get clean-up the surfaces to be joined with methylated spirits (if needed) then use a Hybrid Polymer type sealant adhesive. Something like this (or whatever you can find local to you). Fix all Add a generous amount to sink/gap and when you tighten your brackets up, the excess...

8/10 ;) (y)

o_O As Duncan Bannatyne would say... 'I'm out' too confusing for me.:LOL:

Hahaha, thanks, on your next expresso Mottie, take a pic, we'll compare it to the box.(y)

Push the steam wand down further into the milk, you'll get a warmer milk. Warm the cup with warm water whilst you do your work of art. After texturing the milk, tap the jug on the worktop to get rid of any air bubbles. As a side note, I find when the coffee is over extracted it tastes bitter...

I can vouch for the Mirka, great sander, when connected to hoover, only need a light sand, as the abranet can be quite severe if you are heavy handed.

Lots of garages are single skin (with piers) and have concrete tiled roofs, as a rough rule, these are 50Kg per m² so your covering will be fine.

Not so long back, I fitted an under mount sink into quartz worktop, months on, there is no issues so far. I used this type of thing: Undermount sink brackets And I used this to glue the brackets to underside of the worktop: Araldite Easy peasy. Good luck.

I think that jug is a bit large for one drink, if you are making two, it’s ok. Latte art is easier with a longer wand, so is trickier with the sage. I’ve never bothered with the temp gauge, if the jug bottom is getting too hot to touch, then your are done.

What size jug are you using, I don’t find the wand a problem if you are using a smaller metal jug… I don’t like using a mug. The sage can produce good micro foam, but it takes practise. As Notch had said, Rave coffee is good, fresh beans make a difference, and grind when you need them, not...

I'm not a fan of butting it up, as it's another join. There are things called splice plates, don't solely rely on this. If there is a decent stub of old joist, can't you sister to said stub on the otherside away from wall? Is is cavity wall or solid brick? I ask as you might be able to enlarge...

What length are we talking? What about sistering the joist? think that's what I'd look at. Chop away the rotten bit and place the new joist to the side of the old one (what's left of it) and allow a good overlap. Use timber similar size to original, M12 bolts through old and sister piece...

Photos please(y)

It's quite a job lowering the floor, I did the entire ground floor of my house, binning a couple of old concrete floors. It is a lot of shovel work! Yes it's worth the effort, but even insulated floors may still feel cold if there is no heating on and your have ceramic tiles for example...

Fair point. Surely after 6 years it would be dry?

Wondering if it's condensation, the bottom of the B&B floor could be colder/more vapour and possibly there is no oversite. Lack of ventilation could also contribute. Can you take some pics of the outside wall please. Do you know (doubt it) how much space there is from bottom of B&B floor to...

No, a vertical DPC is cut into the cavity in-between your wall starter not like an expansion joint. Some cut a 50mm sliver all the way down to house DPC, some just cut a slit with grinder and slide in the DPC.
