@kingandy2nd I'm no SE, @tony1851 might assist if you PM him, he'll thank me for that! Or I think @RonnyRaygun is an SE but not sure he posts much these days either.

No it's really not, it looks like they've merely inserted some vertical paving slabs to retain the base for the slabs. Engineering works it is not.

Paint your OSB white.

Forget foil insulation's, they need an air gap on both sides to work properly, so the cheapest would be 25mmPIR + 9mm OSB, assuming you're not going to be fixing much to the walls. but note that unless the internal space is heated the insulation will do next to nothing.

I don't know if they still do but Catnic used to provide a design service, where if you provided the loads etc and it fit within their standard formulas they did the calcs and specified a lintel (and sent you the paperwork to shove under the BCO's nose if required) but like I say not sure they...

Once you're in that hole, you gotta keep digging. :LOL:

Say 2/3 of what they'd be new, a few quid for the charger or offer them all separately. I would include a photo of the receipt (you can blank out the price) then people know they're brand new.

Yes definitely a market if you use Facebook Marketplace or eBay, I wouldn't waste time with Gumtree. People sometimes buy blank drills etc so need the rest.

@Cellophaneskies unlikely as the original poster made one post 7 years ago and hasn't been seen since. Start a new thread.

Enough already OK.

That would be a reasonable assumption, that the yellow joists are the trimmers but you cannot assume anything unfortunately. You'll need to cut back some of those floor boards in anycase so that the ends start/stop on top of a joist so you'll be able to find out that way for sure. Infilling is...

Was it the two legged variety?

Assuming the yellow ones are the original joists they will (or should) be double joists, then perpendicular to those either side of the opening there would be another pair of trimmers that pick up the ends of the joists that had to be cut to form the opening. But how do you know the yellow ones...

Come on Andy, be nice! ;)

Nonsense, nothing like what might be considered engineering operation.

Structural engineer it is then. You'll need to instruct your SE on the basis that whatever they submit must comply with STW requirements, sometimes it can be advantageous to get your SE to act as your agent ie they submit the application and (as well as knocking up a viable structural solution)...

No, the level change needs to be greater than 600mm for a balustrade to become necessary. The car barrier thing won't get you anywhere for driveways.

It was about 2009 or thereabouts.

UPVC window trims, no thanks.
