renovations to house, whats best?

[illdecide]

Thanks for the help lads - looks like I have another bit of work to do before I can get doing anything.

Illdecide, I'd have to try and find the plans. There is a wall above it though - I know that much. I am friendly with an architect a few doors down so might have a word with him and see if he'll come in and have a look.

You'd def need to get someone to look at it for ya, is the wall stud, lightweight block or standard 7.5k/n block? Go and see that Architect guy he'd be well up to scratch and will advise you what to do...try and get some free info and remember what i told ya when dealing with contractors..."keep your cash till your happy with the job, no matter what they ask you for"

Cheers illdecide - I'll give him a shout some evening this week and see what the story is. I'll let you know how I get on sure. And won't part with a penny til the job's done - I promise!

Take it from someone who has learned the hard way, that's the best advice you'll ever get.
