How flat is the wall? If the wall is uneven you'll notice it so may need use some spacers or whatever to even things up, in which case mechanical fixing might be more suitable.

Try some water sealant if you like but if that doesn't work then you need to check there are cavity trays installed and that they are installed correctly. Cavity trays are 100% effective but only if installed correctly. Single skin brick skins can have holes in them, even when you can't see...

Why are those weepholes installed three courses above the bifold head?

If the workshop is original (or built before 1948) then this would not be PD because you cannot extend beyond a front wall under PD.

@Deluks I think you've upset him. :giggle:

It sounds like your fine provided your PD rights are intact but a picture always helps.

Because we're a practical lot usually and when someone just drops a 'computer says no' response we like to delve deeper.

As an aside, despite old Technics amps largely sounding pretty naff (no offense @ellal ), there's quite a secondhand market for such things.

Something like this would be more suitable, in principle, except add another block width to the bottom so the wall is stepped in width as you go down to your 1.5m depth.

Oh well, we'll pick this up in 10 days then. :rolleyes:

Rule of thumb for mass retaining walls is the width at the base of the wall should be about 1/3 of the height.

Got a photo come on throw us a bone ....

Don't they have a series of steel ribs? Why can't you fix into those?

What do you mean a fabric flag? And also a plastic roof? Got some photos of each and of what you're trying to achieve?

Plenty of next day delivery's available but you will obviously pay a premium for next day and a Sunday delivery.

I was trying to let them down gently! :p

Waterproofing structures like this is perfectly possible but meticulous planning, detailing and attention during the build is essential to avoid mistakes. Suggest you do a section detail through the wall/floor to show us how you plan on building/waterproofing it and post it on here for comments...

@chickenlips why did you add an 'LOL' to my quote?

So the truss manufacturer couldn't pop it into his software and let you chop chunks out of their trusses then? OMG that's a surprise.

I'd be inclined to try a food safe silicone. Seems like the OP may like to continue using it for sentimental reasons, for which its hard to criticize. Some grumpy feckers in this thread.
