Just about coping with the footing bridge but then sticking in an expansion thingy.....haven't got a clue!

A small caveat is that a pillar for one of the railings was to be sited just before where the pipe gap is. Thus do I put the lintel into the first course of bricks of the pillar? I'm assuming that I shutter and fill concrete in the footing parallel to the pipe, with a given gap between, then...

Is it possible to draw a diagram because I don't understand what you mean? Also what do lintels look like - I don't want to go and get something for a doorway when I need something for drainage. Are you saying I put the lintel directly on the earth I haven't dug out, which forms the step? I...

The pipe is diagonal across the trench and at the moment barely 1cm is showing at the bottom left corner of the 10 inch step. The pipe goes diagonally under the step and I would expect that given the angle, approximately 27 inches or 69cms is underneath the undug area. Hope this helps.

OK I guesses I probably couldn't put the soil I've dug out back in, though it is flint, soil and clay. Unfotunately the pipe is diagonal across the trench and at the moment only about 2cms of it can actually be seen as the next step is directly above it, hence I wouldn't have found it is I...

Thank you Neo.. The retaining part of the wall is only about 5ft in length and the main part of the wall itself will not be more than 1m high with decorative railings on top. I am corresponding the steps with the pier gaps, spaced according to the railings and I understand about the overlap -...

I bought 12 sheets of WPB instead of using the OSB supplied with my shed, as I needed the extra strength and water resistance, then put a Rubber roof on the top. At Christmas I noticed one board in the roof had developed black spots - three months after the roof went up -and I complained to the...

I've just dug the trench for a wall between my neighbours garden and my drive. There are two slopes to cope with - one parallel to the wall and then a slope at the base of the drive slope from my neighbours garden. At this point I will have to turn the wall into a retaining wall. Could anyone...
