Hi there.
I intend to add a play room underneath an existing deck.
I started digging out to get to the proper height.
In the process, I hit a fair bit of sandstone.
Basically the brick wall supporting the house is sitting on the sandstone and I have used a jack hammer to cut straight down into the sandstone to the required height. The whole extension will be sitting on sandstone. I intend to lay about 50mm of 10mm blue metal then lay the 100mm concrete slab. I will leave a 150mm trench around the slab to fit in an agg line that will run into the existing storm water drain. The brick veneer wall will then be built onto the slab. I can't dig the trench around the slad too deep or I will be below my storm water level. Will that be adequate drainage for my new room or should I run 75mm agg line underneath the concrete slab at 1meter center starting from the brick wall or underneath the agg line that runs around the slab and towards the storm water drain.
