Just come across your videos of which i'm enjoying, i have not seen this kind of wall/fencing before, can i ask what the sizing is for the steels and sleepers and where you got them from please?
Will the smell of the soil not come up through that block n beam floor.? I thought it had to be blinded with a weak/rough mix concrete.? (I'm not a builder by the way).
Hi there! Thanks for your comment and a good observation! The short answer is not always! It depends on your ground conditions, what the ventilation space is, if there is a Radon gas concern and what treatment has been carried out of the ground prior to installation. Smell certainly isnt an issue and because the ground was completely made up and all vegetaion etc removed, Building Control was happy as it was. I put enough concrete in the foundations already and was happy to not get in any more!!!! Thanks again for your comment.
