Hi,
I have 2 support columns in my internal garage. There are steels running across to support extension. However I am converting this into my kitchen, The support columns are standard breeze blocks stacked ontop of each other.
When I join the internal garage to the rear utility room to form one room I am going to hit a snag. The support columns stick out by 6cm. This is causing me a major headache as I will putting a run of base units down this run. Looking at the standard base unit it gives me a service void of 42mm.
I can see two options.
1. Cut more than 42mm where units cover the support columns.
2. Cut out 3cm from the support columns (sounds dangerous to me). depth is aprox 23cm
On another note I have a single skin wall which is 1960's build. I need to build a cavity wall inside and insulate. Am I right in thinking 50mm rockwall, thermalite non loadbearing blockwork. aprox 150mm plus plasterboard or skim.
