Hello, I'm new here.

You'll find plenty of help and encouragement here. Best, however would be to
find a local builder and go have a look, so you can anticipate the problems. The
only serious problem (apart from cash) is allergy to epoxy. You have to keep the
stuff at arms length right from the beginning.

Tell us where you live. Presumably Britain?
