Hiya all,
We currently have an open porch on our property with the front door set back. What we want to do is box in the porch and make the porch into the front door. This is so that the space we have can be made into a downstair toilet and bigger hallway. I wanted to know how to go about this... we've had a few quotes and this is far out of our budget so have decided if its possible to do it ourselves. There is an existing wall that goes half way along the open porch at the moment that we will remove. Would it be ok to use breeze blocks to block up this whole porch? Also I know we need foundations is 3 ft enough? We cant use existing brickwork there as its bloody crappy old paving slabs that the council has used to build it in hence why were removing the exisiting and making it all breezeblock. Also how do we join it to the exisitng walls?
Thanks!!
Katie
