garage door posts

constructing a garage out of aerrated concrete blocks 210 x 440 x 100,
Is it advisable to incorporate two pillars for the garage posts to go onto, as I am concerned that the blocks single skin are not strong enough to take the weight of the garage doors.
thanks

two electric showers

Can you run two electric showers off the same fuse or do you need two seperate ones?

if you can run them off one fuse do you need both showers to be the same wattage, or can one be 8.5 while the other 10.5 as long as the fuse, cables, and switchs all are for the 10.5

Thanks

Gurgling from Waste Pipes

I live in a newly built Town House, when ever I empty a sink or bath or shower on the top floor the water going down the plug makes a horrible gurgling noise which can last up to 5 minutes, this has only just started happening.

Any cures or ideas to solve this problem would be great.
