Hi All
following on with my multiple posts regarding building my summerhouse.
Foundation is done and the base (4.6m x 2.4m) is built.
When I laid the base there are a few of the foundations ( compacted MOT1 with cemented flags on top x 12) where the wood is not touching
If you stand on the wood it then sits fine.
the slabs are all level so I suspect the wood is a little warped .
Should I ignore this and hope the weight of the walls etc flatten it out?
Or should I shim the bits raised?
If so should I use the plastic shims that you buy in screwfix of use some slate or other thin material.
The biggest gap is around 12mm.
Thanks
