Bleeding walls just add character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't designed for this purpose there is a chance it wont.. Looks pretty strong from the underside though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this area can support the extra load. Either side of the ladder are 2 structural beams and the walls either side are load bearing walls. The photo below shows all the load bearing beams shown in YELLOW. Plenty of support. Do I pass? Photo below is the new storage area. As you can see it was a wasted space and prefect for storage. Above pic shows the width of the space. Edited 05/06/16 01:37 AM by Pixy Angel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Builder today was onsite which was a surprise so I stopped and see where we're at. First thing he tells me that the rear back left of the house and boundary fence has problems. WTF!! Says with the rain we had the fence has started to fall and once the scaffolding is moved.......... I need to put up a retaining wall ASAP. again WTF!! No dont think so. I told him that he does as it's on the approved council plains. Builder tells me it never was..........F.O. Then what have I go? Builder says we dont do retaining walls because they lose money. Ok so what is that beside the garage. Ok so then why are they put on the plains which are council approved? I then said that false and miss leading information and should not be put on the plains if you're not willing to do the job I said if it comes down that we have to it will not be getting down now as we have more important things that need doing first. Time to check contract. Contract says no retaining but then why have they done others onsite. I say it's MONEY. He's not making as much he first though on our house. Also have another issue in the pipe line email sent waiting on reply. Retaining beside the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
