Thanks Catlad

Hi Catlad, yeh the walls are masonary.

Extenally timbers would be hid by fascia boards, internally they would be partly within the ceiling and what is exposed would be covered by plasterboard.

another question regarding the catnic idea, I'm actually building a single story extension on the back of my house, there will be windows running from the house wall 2.4m along one of the extension walls. Would I need to take out some blocks/bricks from the house for the lintel to sit in, or...

I know that would be the best method, I was just trying to keep down costs at Catnics seem to be pretty pricey. Its still something I'm considering though. Thanks for the reply. :)
