building a base room Ask questions and find answers on a range of subjects relating to self build projects

[arfa]

i am thinking of building a base room in my garden. However i know from a previous extension that at approx 800mm i will encounter a gravel stream and also the top of the water table. Does anyone know how to build into gravel and overcome the subsequent drainage problems and if it is indeed possible.

Have a word with your local Council, they are dealing with this problem every week and they will tell you what they require.
