The main job is to cut a 6 inch wide channel in the patterned concrete on 2 sides of the cottage (it's detached), smash it out, tank the foundation wall.
I can hire out the concrete saw, but I am worried about the gas main (I may leave the section under the gas meter box??)
Once the walls are tanked I intend to fill the channel with small stone, extend the downspout across the gap so that the top water no longer comes near the foundations.
