    Kitchen re-design

    I'm looking at hopefully re-fitting our kitchen but I'm not too sure where to start with regulations, etc. I basically want to try and do as much as I can myself with the exception of plumbing, electrics, structural, etc. The main parts of the work are to remove a load bearing wall/add RSJ...

    I'm starting work on lowering a section of the grass to make a patio area at the back of the house. There's the issue of this drain though, should there be any concerns for simply lowering the height of it by removing a few courses of bricks and then slabbing over it using a recessed manhole...
