Hi all!
We moved into our new house last year. There is a brick outbuilding, around 1.5m from the house and like a lot of others on the street, they have been connected with a roof and boxed it in. The previous owner used a timber frame and internal door which over time has obviously rotted. Today I ripped it all out so I can replace it with a UPVC door and UPVC cladding. I will frame it all with timber. The problem is, the floor at the house end is level with the floor outside. The other end is around 2 inches lower due to the slope of the garden. I should really raise the floor using concrete, to stop the timber rotting and to stop water ingress. Is there any other way I could do this without the hassle of raising the floor level? Probably not, I just thought I'd ask the question on here? Any Ideas would be great! Pictures below.
