I'm using 4x2 so that should be ok? I think I understand now so for the breeze block wall I put a 4x2 up tight to the stud already on the brick wall and run every 400mm again. Is that right ? Thanks for the help.

I made a start the weekend and got down the 2x2 floor with Chipboard on top. Do I need to do anything else to the chipboard eg spray glue over the joins or expansion foam anywhere? I also starting the stud wall on the back wall. Does this look ok so far ? I am not going to be...

Changed my mind does this sound ok I have think I have worked it out at last. I am planning on starting with the floor I was going to use 3x2 on a dpm and use polystrene for insulation. What size would i need 75mm ? Would Kingspan be better. I was then going to use chipboard on top. The...

i am planning to use Stud wood from Wickes it's 89mm. Am I best fixing a sole plate outside the breeze block and fix it top and bottom or should i fix it direct to the wall. If I bring it away from the wall I take it will make fixing the plasterboard round the breeze block a lot easier...

where do i start first the wall, floor, or ceiling. If I want to stud out to the front of the breeze block what size wood would i need. Thanks for the help
