Hi guys
Sorry a basic question I know but I'm planning my own extension so I have a lot of these questions. I am looking at getting brickwork to dpc myself, which I know needs to be 6 -7 bricks above the top of the footing, question I had was if I pour the slab at that point and tamp it level with walls, that means the slab is level with the dpc so the finished screed is say 65mm above that, is that right? Or I thought could build a single brick course above the oversite and lap the dpm onto dpc at that point, but wouldn't normally expect to see bricks on inner leaf at that level? Hope I'm making some sense, obviously I could pour the slab after the walls are up but I'd find it easier to level it off the walls before building up. Any advice appreciated as ever! (I definitely want a screed)
Cheers
John
