Personally I would fit the kitchen then lay the floor; in case of any accidents while fitting kitchen or workmens boots grinding in sawdust etc.

Genius, there's a real gap in the market for something like this :lol:

Looks ok to me, is this causing any problems?

Drill and screw some large screw eyes to the wall, quite high up, both sides of the ladder and tie the ladder to them. Get a large person to put their weight on the bottom of the ladder and you should be fine.

In my opinion if you have a scaffold up already then it is false economy to leave the chimney stack up if you are never going to use it again. Even if you repair it now who's to say in 5 years it wont need more maintenence? Take it down and patch the roof over - it will take less than a day. As...

Chip some of the showing foundation away and you might find it's not the foundation for the retaining wall but one for the brick wall laid in front of it. It seems very high to be the found of that retaining wall. If it is then you need to underpin the existing foundation. Remove smaller...

Why not just tie in the facing brick to the existing wall and forget the 2nd block skin? Use frame ties or similar. Founds depend on the type of ground you have but, as said, to copy existing (presuming no probs) would be a good start.

Yep, they look like flue outlets for wall hung gas heaters like the Baxi Brazilia. Would make sense that there's one in every room.

At the end of the day if the OP does not know what they are doing when it comes to electrics then they should leave well alone. As our local building inspector says, a lot of the regs are common sense. They are there to help people protect themselves and others from injury or even death. Even...

Did we have plasma/lcd 9 years ago?

You do not need permission to install an extractor fan but if it is in a bathroom you need the electrical wiring certificated. Same goes with lights (and shower if it is electric). BC also need to be aware that you are connecting into existing drainage or forming new.

Is your antenna signal still analouge? This could explain the quality drop.

Two stud walls and tile? One stud wall along the 700 side then fix normal bath screen to that? As mentioned glass bricks walls would look good.

This is not right... Your high definition TV will only be high definition when playing blu-ray discs on a blu-ray player or watching broadcasts from an HD source. With standard DVDs you can get better quality with a progressive scan capable DVD player but only when connected to the TV through...

Can't use EDL as only up to 8mm. Can't use EDZ as only up to 45mm. Use EDW.

I doubt it. If it did would you notice? Because it wouldn't be much.

Try it and see, but as 'yme' says it depends a lot on the final depth of what you have. If there's not enough and it starts to get churned up you could always get some type 1 delivered to chuck down. Whatever as long as you don't compromise the final level of block paving.
