Yeah i agree with noseall...and this is a strange one...one id like you to post the answer to, when you find out. Your dpm, is your basically your floor, and for this amount of water to be coming from your cavity sounds very strange. Can you drill through one of the mortar joints at the...

Hi, i cant see why not, My father in law just bought a house with a garage like the one you describe and one of the panels has been omitted to leave way for a door - narrow though it may be. The only problems is see are how are you going to remove the panel, some of them have a lip or tongue...

As long as you put the cement in it should go off. Dont lay in the frost wait until later in the day. and then cover very well. It may take longer to go off...but it will do.

I agree with noseall, you say a rebuild is that because the wall has fallen over oe leaning. has it to be demolished first and the old brick removed from site...does it need a new footing.....theres more information needed. If it is as straight forward as you say it is it is a lot of...

Option 1 Fill trench with concrete 625mm thick, then :- Inner leaf - 2 course of Concrete (7N) block + 1 course of engineering brick Outer leaf - 1 course of concrete (7N) block + 4 courses of engineering brick -> Laying heavy concrete blocks seems less favourable to trench blocks ...

Hi, ok where the roof is at it lowest point around the house, it sits on the walls of the house. you may have to lay flat to look......but at this point, the insulation should not be packed tight, the air flow comes in at that point. So basically your going to be putting your hands down the...

:lol:

I take it it a straight wall. basically you are going to lay 12 blocks in a line, behind block 1 6 and 12 you would lay another block to form a pillar. Tie these across with some small cavity ties and or bond every other course [/img]

OK hire an acrow prop and strong boy from a hire shop. drill out the mortar bed from above "b" below the perp of "d+e" once the bed is out insert the stong boy and tighten the prop. Remove a+b+c insert lintel What lintel are you using, are you using a concrete or an L shape catnic lintel...

You know..i am not sure if you will need planning for it or not as strictly you aren't changing use of the whole garage. Phone your local council. they are usually happy to advise. Timber. i would go for tanalised/treated it isn't internal or external but due to the fact that is is a garage...

I got one from builders supplies. but your pc will do right now go to google as ask i have you at 3 oC

Yep it will be, with a blow lamp...lol, I have the same problem with the sand lime i've had delivered.

The cost would depend on how much are you willing to do, say you were willing to take the old render off yourself. your going to save in a couple of days of labour charges. Get some local firms around, get some quotes and if your willing to strip it yourself tell them and ask for a quote for...

I think youd be better of putting this in the carpentry forum.

4oC and rising is the usual for render, DO you have a certain product your using...go to there website and check. However i have seen renderers/plasters working at less...!!!

Ha ha..thanks...mainly due to the fact of undulation of the ground. And as stated above. I have worked on footings that start at ground level, i have also worked on a job not to long ago where the ground altered so much, we started with 2 block deep footing to the other end where it was 13...

Hi , i just noticed this thread, not to good with quants. but i had a quick add up dependant on the mix 5/1 ratio id say 10 bags sand and 3 cement. for the wall, dont forget a little feb to help plasticise the mix. But my big concern was the length of the wall and no support 5 meters ...

I agree, but then its an easy conversion back, as i would of thought you'd of wanted to sell the property with a garage.

OK excuse me...i thought you meant the internal walls not the internal leaf of the external walls.... I agree with deluks, however if you are insulating via stud a 75 mm knauff insulation will squeeze into a 2x2 stud fretwork. there are plenty of options out there but If your working to a...
