    Inspection chamber with unbound slabs

    I'm no expert but I say the same as slabs. Keep it's same height. You could throw a handful of cement around the drain area in sand as that will help stop any movement. Worst case you lift slabs and level again as not difficult to fix if its a problem.

    Lack of drainage in border

    Don't worry about it. Normal. Mt gravel drive had a huge puddle yesterday with the rain. I'm lying new patio and where I dug out on the clay, it was like a pond last year. Chucked gravel over then I'll layed slabs. That's a low point and water runs to it. You probably have solid ground so...

    Is this the flogging scam products forum?

    Oddly. And it's true. Mods aren't here as much as some of us. I mod a site and I can go days without looking so I think it's down to exposure. If you hit ignore after reporting the post, it disappears so that's the best thing to do.

    Interlocking log cabin gaps & twisting causing water ingress - flexible sealant or structural fix?

    I don't think you will move that. I've got several patio slabs on a plank ATM so they don't scratch the new slabs under. The plank is a bit twisted and the slabs have made no difference even with the weight

    Water filled foundation trench

    I hired a pump for the 4 days before inspection. Sun came out and dried it mostly before concrete. Not a problem but was stressful when it was hammering it down. I got the wrong type of pump as well and couldn't get it to prime in the shallow water so had to swap it.
