Are the doors already installed? Photos would help.

Clearly! (I was being facetious)

I bet they end up fixing to the roof anyway?

What are you allowed to touch? Wall lights? Cat wire as suggested? Goal posts to support a beam?

It's hard to understand the reasoning behind it, given that the alternative throws up more problems than the ones you are trying to avoid.

I expect it's rotted away by now.

That is a heartless, nasty opinion. (OMG!)

Now that's what I call first world problems. Can't you just remember not to do it next time? Or build a bin store. No idea about heat, sounds feasible.

Get him to design it then.

Nope, go ahead

Ryobi are currently running their promotion, buy a battery+charger and get a free tool. Their 18v router isn't too bad at all.

This is a UK based forum, shingles aren't really a thing here, except on outbuildings.

Tony 'I started two wars against Muslim countries and have killed millions of them' Blair wouldn't be my first choice to bring about peace to the Palestinians.

Posh pots! Nicely capped, however some would use sealant to stick down the caps, as sometimes water can trickle in if it's not a tight fit. Not easy to tell but looks like no oversail on the inside, the big mortar fillet on the inside of the parapet wall is sus, and could be lacking soakers...

You don't need two DPMs, is this house built in a river? The weight of concrete will push the dpm against the wall, as long as it meets the dpc you'll be alright with a mastic bead behind it.

Your chosen mastic will work ok, What's going over the sand? Bring the membrane up the wall to meet the FFL, preferably slightly above it. Plaster/plasterboard/skirting will hide it anyway.

1) from your description, sounds like you will struggle to achieve full coverage and may end up with cold spots. 2) you can score the back of the boards to make it 'bend' into the space. Not ideal as you will have cold spots where the cuts are. 3) Close that gap off, fill it with insulation...

Short answer, yes. You could also cut a wide strip of dpm and Leave it hanging out, until such time you put the main dpm in and tape them together. Other option is to black jack the wall just below the dpc and stick the dpm against it.

Sage = same. Typo, or was it? ;)

You'll get the same answers from the sage people.
