When I mix concrete I use a strong mix of 2 part river sand 2 part 10mm pea gravel 1 part cement and just add a little water and it should be a good stiff mix. joint it up in between the blocks and also lay the blocks on mortar that is 4 parts building sand 1 part cement.

Why not use concrete and making a dryish mix.

I'm getting the welder out thanks.

When I go in a loft and see junction boxes I love it because all the wire been wasted. I'll just wire up the lights without them and take all your wire.

I have got a lot t&e building up and was thinking of making a wood block with razor blades to strip it all down. Is there a tool to do this? My idea in my head should work but I would just buy a tool if there was one.

I have spent all day ripping out junction boxes some with 8 wires in this guys loft.

If you mean they have re felted their roof and have covered the join between your new felt and their new felt then I don't see a problem with that. when you had your loft done the builders would of had to mess with their roof to re roof your roof.

My advice would be to post this in the decorating forum on this site. If that was my wall I would strip at back to plaster.

I'm a garden room and plan on making my own bi-folding doors as they cost £2900 to have some made.

You also need to unwire it and send the T&E into the back of it or you will not be able to screw the cover back on. http://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/images/prod-1170-250-250.jpg

Really you need to make a foundation for the wall. Have a look how I did mine in this thread. http://www.diynot.com/forums/garden/redoing-the-garden.370685/
