daepp, thanks
The lovely white pipe period feature from the 70's is for the bathroom/toilet waste water, it's that tall to let it vent above the top window
tevake, thanks, no flood line but a splash line from the road, the stone is quite soft so over time the splashing erodes the stone.
Thanks for asking, my shop has two parts to it, first part is located in Mrs Ahab's gardening shed but I'm hoping she will sub-let me some work space
My man shed, I mean Mrs Ahab's gardening shed - UK edition was started end of last year so I'll quickly give you a guided tour of its construction
First job was to level the driveway, this also served to keep the shed roof height down to a height the planners were happy with.
3 guys and a 3 ton dumper, 9 ton dumper and 3 ton digger turned up and within 5 hours had finished and removed 92 tons of earth
No foundations but a concrete slab, I shuttered it up, fitted a damp proof membrane, then 200mm centre steel mesh and between my wife, the builder and I we moved 200 wheel barrow loads of concrete.
Gratuitous pick of the lovely cement mixer truck driving delivery lady, me not feeling too sporty afterwards
I've worked hard over the years so feel I've earned myself a lovely warm shed to hide away from the cold, damp British winters so we didn't scrimp on the wall construction.
Inner coarse is 4" concrete block, outer coarse is combination of another 4" concrete block covered in oak weather boarding or 4" Hornton stone to match my house with 4" air gap partially filled with 2" polyurethane foil backed insulation sheet
