Hi guys, thanks again for a great site. These are my issues:
The house next to mine is built about 2 1/2 feet higher than mine. The trouble is the boundary needs to be sorted.
1. The attached pic shows the setup. Essentially the current divide is concrete blocks the size of breeze blocks laid on edge without mortar. They go up in five courses. I dont know what the foundation is, but suspect its nothing more than earth. At some point this has moved at the top of one end, but other wise has been okay.
What do you think of this?
2. The paving between my garage and the dividing wall is 75MM above DPC, my neighbors is almost 125mm, the bandit who did mine probably did both sides. I am going to have to dig down 225mm to sort this out. This means I have to sort out the dividing wall. I am looking to replace this with Sleepers laid lengthways and in brick bond. The 10" side of the sleeper being vertical and 6" side horizontal. Will I get away with laying these flat on bare earth? Will I need to sink retainers holding them back? Will the 6" effective depth be okay?
Any help and advice would be gratefully recieved.
