    For your drainage iys cutting it real close. I would try and increase that fall as you risk blockages. Once you cast your floor your wont be able to change it later. You're loosing alot of height by trying to level the internal floor with the ground outside. Build your DPC up so you have 150mm up from the ground. your internal floor will be level will that so basically our internal floor will be 150mm above the garden ground level. this will also give you an additional 150mm for your waste flow as your toilet will be raised 150mm. If you try level with outside you will have dpc bridging issues. What you need to do is have a small sloped ramp up to your front door. As a new build this will be a requirement under part M regs. Just have a look at the front door detail of a nearby new build house. Need any guidance let us now and maybe can visit and collab on something. Hope this helps.

    • @thegardenroomguru
      @thegardenroomguru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yeah, the drawings show 150mm step up mate, was trying to avoid the ramp situation, but it would solve all issues I guess.

    Been watching alot of your videos want to build a 5m x 3m but on another note you should do a compilation video of completed diy builds by people that have bought the build packs. Surely alot of people would be proud to send you a lit bit of footage to put in the compilation. Plus it gives people more ideas for their own diy builds for different finishes and styles. Great work btw.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing Liam but if you do again or to others who are having a go . I said before get the biggest digger you can access, scrape everything away and stone the full site up before you even start digging . You then are digging on clean level ground . Keep the digger on hire for bit longer and use to level around footing and around slab plus you can use to bring your materials round and save you
    Time and back ache .Buliding is always time v money and weather . The less you handball the better . Enjoy watching you your one of the best on here .

    I built my own granny annex for my wife mum in 2005 and did it all myself I know exactly how hard it is but you will get there in the end. You could always consider putting a try damp course in which on the inside course of the building level with your finish floor level and make it higher on the outside course and under
    lentils, you can always take another course of blocks out which will lower the sewage pipe cheers mate have a good one 🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍

    I built a log cabin a few years ago at the end of my garden and installed a toilet etc . I was concerned I didn’t have enough fall in the ground joining onto my sewer at rear of my house .
    The distance was similar to what your working to , I had a ratio of 1 in 80 and after using it for 3 years now and being able to watch the flow go through the first chamber I would certainly advise stronger than 1 in 80 . If you can get closer to 1 in 60 I’d really suggest that .
    Just saying from experience , don’t want any blockages . The 1 in 110 would never work .

    I cant further edit the post, you can do it without the drainage. Need to protect the threshold so that water cant penetrate. The slabs/ floor outside must fall away from the door, like a ramp. The secondary dpc is required, 150mm above threshold, extending at least a metre either side of the opening. Hope the helps mate.

    To work out the fall 1 divided by 80 x length of run. ( 1:80 is a ratio you need to change it to a fraction
    1 / 80 = 0.125 x 28m = 0.35 m so 350mm from the bottom invert level where you are tying into to the bottom of the furthest point of the drain run.

      Liam mate you need to keep the cement out of the sun. It’s set as your laying. Others who comment about gazebos are offering good advice. That and your health. When you pick the cement up… play with it in the barrow with the trowel. Wake it up. And… FFS, you need to set the job out better. Slow self down a bit and work smarter. Be unalive before you’re finished. Get the barrow cleaned out each mix. Chemical reaction with dried cement is sucking the moisture out your composition.

    I’d add 2 courses of engineering bricks(blue) so your DPC is 2 bricks above what you said. This should match your house and is the correct way. A shallow 2brick to ground level ramp to get in the entrance. Personally I think it will look better too. It will certainly stop future damp problems and your annex will look better built. Probably ease drainage install too, but that’s not my forte 🫡
