Google builders merchants and ring around for some prices, should be around 50p a brick. Or wait outside a building site and offer services for bricks as payment.

Don't try and plaster a ceiling on your first time plastering. You'll get 1/4 of it done and swear so much and you'll just give up.

Toilet paper would get wet.

You can use Eps down to and below ground level. Many insulate down to foundations. You can also bridge the dpc with it as well. Think about dirty splash back. You can put your track at dpc level and colour darker below or just pressure wash it from time to time.

Why was the block paving layed without thought for the garage? If the drive slopes towards the garage you're still having to get problems if you raise it to the save level. You also might get damp under your slab, which may or may not matter.

A flexible render will be fine. Base coat with fiberglass mesh and silicone top coat.

Looks like they have dropped slightly so not stuck. These will be heavy tiles, knock a couple of nails in to support them while they go off.

Cement board, you can go over OSB and ply with EML.

Us 25mm battens and 50mm pir will give you the same uvalue, if not better, and you keep the 25mm gap.

You could have used milk and had it for breakfast.

Yeah once is goes it stays. 18mm can blow to about 30mm.

Keep them inside your building envelope?

Before you brush hardener onto the surface make sure it's suitable with your chosen floor finish, micro cements and some epoxy's don't like it.

Insulated up stand goes in your screed in this instance. You can fix a batten to your house at the correct level. A142 mesh is anti cracking, it's not normally used (you'll never find it in older properties, larger slabs do need some control over cracking) just to reduce costs however I like to...

Just looked them up they are XPS not Eps. So will be fine. Though Rockwoll batts and chipboard will be cheaper and have better acoustic properties.

Is this property in the UK? I would not have thought putting an EPS backed board into joists would be a good idea. All external walls would benefit from insulation if they have not had some already. What about just Eps/pir backed plaster board? You can dot and dab to these bricks. You need to be...

It does not need to be too level however the flatter you get it the better. You can make L shaped timber to hold your tamper batten or just use the brick course as a guide. Support the scaffold boards on bricks between the mesh don't rest it on the mesh unless it's well supported as it might...

What floor covering are you going to have? If you are wanting to keep the dust down you could just PVA it.

Then this does seem like an odd way of construction. You've got posts in the middle of your floor area and I hope you've planned you cladding well otherwise your going to be left with lots of waste but it's too late now :D The cladding will add a lot of strength and stop any lateral movement if...

Ohh you aren't building a shed you're building a covered area. Makes scene now. You'll be fine. I presume you are in a sheltered area with no large winds.
