Concrete floor meets wood floor. - How do i do it????

alan ditchfield · Sat Dec 11, 2004 6:15 pm

Before you all tell me that this is a paving expert site and you cant help me, i already know but i am sure that at least one of you has the answer i am looking for, so here goes.

I can lay around 750 brick a day and i am also a tight fisted b***ard and refuse to pay a builder to build my porch extension.
The problem i have is that i am not a builder and lack the knowledge i need to build my porch, what i ned to know is my existing floor is timber and the floor i want to butt up to the house will be concrete up to dpc.
1. Do i wrap the new floor in visquine up to dpc and use a pipe to feed the existing air brick with air.?
2. Am i miles out and there is an easier way.?

any good advice would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks Alan

There are some good builders on this site in the building section

http://www.diynot.com/forums/

They should know, if no one on here does.

Screwfix have a forum, which seems to be busy on a night, for building info, trouble is a lot seem to say different things, so you end up more confussed, and you get a few idiots on there,

worth a go though.

Pity there is not more like this one, for building stuff

I always find the people on the Screwfix forums just want to argue the toss about the smallest of things. The DIYnot forums seem to be more friendly.

Glad you got your answer Alan.

Cheers Carl
