only by 270mm :;):
its one of those workarounds
the house is 1830 and when we did the extension we did a 600mm cavity tray up the wall internally
also we put a linear drain in where the steps are going to a soakaway
here was the tray detail
to reduce the outside by 500mm would have undermined the existing founds so its a best of a bad job IYKWIM
cheers LLL
thanks LLL, I've got replace a "lean to" garage floor soon, i can't decide if and what to use as a expansion material i thought this might be a good thing
the reason there is so much brickwork above the windows is the warm deck we had to use 125mm celotex on this and if we didnt build the brickwork higher we would of had a 500 mm fascia
225 tanalised joists
one for mike dermobate in :;):
nice to see the noggins offset each other so they can be nailed in properly. I hate it when they are all in a straight line and you see a nail smashed in at an angle

next job is in uppermill near oldham, massive slope stabilisation job.
phase one small gabion retaing to base of 1 slope, counter fort drains cut into slope. drains are 1m wide, and cut into the bank level 7metre back eat drain will take about 30 tons of clean stone. then we will regrade the slope and build a 20m long 3.2m high gabion retaining wall at the top of the slope.

exisiting drive was in a bit of a state this part of the slope is still on the move
this part as been top loaded with 800mm stone for 12 months and is technically stable now, this is where we have to squeeze the additional counterfort drains in, the existing ones can be seen in mot type 2
making a way in and removing the 800mm of 6f2 top loading

everything has to be tipped on the rd then rehandled
the angle was too steep to all the stone to hold itself up so additional gabion wall now being installed at teh toe of the slope
