one of my customers had subsidence and the surveyor balmed it on a pyracantha growing up the front of the house, the trunk of which was about 2". its just arse covering

forest if you ever dig near conifers the ground is always dry as a nuns
its the roots as well but mainly its the fact they take all the water
when clay dries out it shrinks and so the foundation drops
when it gets wet it expands and causes heave
cheers LLL
ps dan cant you pay them to cut it down and replant when the extension is done?

Aha cheers LLL. That'll be why my mates gate post is rising in winter and falling in summer. We speculated it was due to water in some way but weren't sure how.

Lovely brick work as usual, tony, why not use a couple of course of engineering below dpc?

Tony, on that joisting, why are the noggins not offsett to each other so you can nail into the ends?

by lutonlagerlout
it can be done either way celings are normally offset because they are more awkward,
but because we had plenty of room we did them inline
makes the floor nice and rigid

Do you have to tosh the nails in at an angle?
