    Advice on stair rise and going please

    I will soon be tackling a garage conversion which includes a 630mm step down (once the insulation, chipboard and wooden floor are laid). I intend to make a small set of steps, but am unsure of whether to go for three or four. At three steps, the rise will be 210mm. Four steps will give 157mm...

    Seeing daylight through our roof...

    I was up in the loft and realised that I can see daylight, which I assume it not a good sign :) The problem is that the lining behind the tiles has rotted away in areas, leaving the back of the tiles exposed, and hence some gaps which are letting a draught in. Picture here...
