FLOOR PLAN

I am grateful for your help Ree. I realize I have given vague info, which must make it difficult to visualize. I will draw a floor plan and couple of photo's to better show the scenario. It's a small house and not a difficult job...but as a novice it's all new stuff for me to learn. I appreciate...

If you click the link...It's interesting. It SEEMS to prove that rising damp is real through a brick and mortar construction. It also SEEMS to prove that injection works to stop RD. I make no comment...as my head is spinning. I do note however that the guy is in 'the industry'....My Victorian...

Yay, finally figured out this quote thing! Maybe I'm doing it wrong as it seems awful long winded to me. Typing all this 'quote=username etc at the start and end of each section..Is that the quickest way to copy part quotes or have I missed something? I got rid of the joists as the ends were...

Thanks for the reply Ree. Yes, I did wonder whether to lump it all in one, but I thought it might be too much in one post. I have attempted to answer your queries on my other post, but cocked up the "quote" system! I will try again...ha! It's been a while since I posted.

Here are the reference pics... (The pictures are showing the SAME wall btw) [/img] My queries: Is it a good idea to lay a concrete oversite? What you are looking at is earth, which has dried over a year but remains damp. If over-site is a good idea, what should be the...

Thanks for all the replies guys. Re the above, and I am guessing here... the gas safe fella was there to do a gas safety check,( he's also my brother's father in law btw, not that it should make a difference)..and only had time to do the gas check. He did not have time to check what had been...

thanks for quick reply guys. All this has been considered. We are aware about getting permission before doing stuff, but up to now the tenants have been good and I'm trying to avoid getting heavy. I realise the agent, who receives their fee has a vested interest in keeping things sweet...but as...

Hi all. My brother and me rent a property out through an letting agent. Yesterday we had our annual gas check done and the gas safe guy told us that the boiler electrics had been changed and an infra red thermostat had been wired in. As he had originally fitted the boiler, he also pointed out 2...

any advice please..?

More on my hearth..sorry guys. New Constructional hearth, 1400mm wide by 900mm into recess. Overall height required from ground up to level with ply floor is 418mm. I intend to build a block retaining wall and then fill that with the appropriate materials. Can you advise me on the different...
