Haha thank you brother.

I haven't been diagnosed but my son (3) has been. One trait is an obsessive personality and that's helped me a lot in life. It helped me start and grow my business as it gave me a narrow focus. Currently my focus/obsession is finishing my house doing as much as I can myself.

Was building swimming pools part time and ended up walking out of that job after 3 years. Was expected to break my body for little money. (running with patio slabs was the nail in the coffin) Looking to move into the fire service but going to take a good year to get in. So perfect window to get my house finished.

I also have an obsession personality, but I've focused on going fishing and giving abuse to c**ts on here.
 
Pulled off most the old plaster. Was a really strong sand/cement, shot in most places.

The plan is to build the wall off the timber and insulate with rockwall for sound.

Is it worth using a really weak sand/cement to fill some of the worst areas or just leave it as is?

Is that an internal or external wall? If external, what's stopping any moisture coming through the brickwork and into the timbers?

Internal wall. The one with the black jack bricks is external.

I've set the timbers off the wall and the floor has 2 DPM as part of the concrete.
