Still overkill you think? Also what do you mean by “looking at your soil”? Are you referring to it looking dry? It was quite wet when we dug a couple weeks ago. Thanks mate for your advice fair question about the slope. Re soil I mean that it doesn't look like reactive clay which swells and shrinks with wetness/dryness. If the floors in your house are relatively level, no material cracks in brickwork/plaster and the doors/windows all close freely, then chances are the slope isnt impacting the moisture levels around your foundations enough to be an issue. Its an old govvie, so any problems related to movement would be present. If theres no material issues, you could save yourself some work/money and put the efforts elsewhere, like whatever other aesthetics or Quality of Life stuff instead, can’t tell from the photo, a tie down rod will be 12mm, is it a steel beam? he should be able to work it out 1 5511 5 11132 Brass fly wire, you will need to cut it, shape it and jam it into brick slots 1 8009 |
