To be honest, I don't recall the exact specs-- this project was done years ago. I do remember core drilling into the concrete with pre-drilled steel tubing, and then screwing the bench slats to the tubing through the pre-drilled holes from below. I don't recall the steel guage or size unfortunately. It was time consuming, if I remember correctly. Best, Justin

Thanks Justin, very informative. I feared it was something carefully engineered like that, rather than something off-the-shelf I could secure to a normal brick boundary wall. Thanks for the insight.

Fitting a wooden breakfast bar onto granite without a leg for support

I was told to drill large bolts from underneath and also bond it with glue. I decided that people would probably lean on it and it might not last and end up looking awful. Also if I ever removed it I would be left with holes in the worktop so opted for the granite to extended over the end to make a breakfast bar instead. It works better because I get a larger island top to work on.

What do you think is best use this bedroom space?

So... managed to find time to discuss it late last night, and we definitely like the idea of being able to make bed 3 larger. I've taken it slightly further in some ways but less in others to try and minimise the cost hopefully as bf thinks that regardless of what we do, it'll end up being prohibitively expensive to re-organise upstairs. This plan would : Keep doorways off the landing to bed 2/3 the same as they are currently (I appreciate the benefits of moving them in terms of not having it right at the top of the stairs, however there's still room for a stair gate at the top of the stairs (should we ever need one), and has never been a problem for us since we've been here regardless of who's stayed (almost 6 years). Removing your study area - we have a separate office/mancave downstairs, and I always work at the dining table even when I had an office space if doing work at home, allowing us to have a bigger family bathroom (maybe a pocket door) with hopefully room for a bath and walk in shower? (as actually the 2 bathrooms we'd be joining are quite compact!) Still quite a small landing area, which I appreciate is useful for general circulation space, but we'd be reluctant to cut into bed 3 more than we have to, and there'd be just enough room I think to have a small window which would hopefully make it feel more airy at least. FYI the pink line I've added is where we get full height ceilings back, as the front half of bed 2/3 mostly have sloped ceilings, except for where the dormers are, but they drop to about waist height at the front. The back wall of the ensuite would be the current back wall of the ensuite again to help reduce costs... Ideally I'd have preferred to creep it forward an extra 10-20cm to give that room to bed 3, however I think for such a small distance it's probably not worth having to knock down, and build another wall. What do people think? ? Obviously would still need to ask builders re cost etc and bf thinks I'm getting hopes up and it'll cost too much... (Anyone got any rough thoughts how much it might be?) but I did point out we could fit most of the bathroom stuff at a later date.

I wonder if you could find a bracket that often supports a kick bag and if that would work? maybe not the style you want (and currently out of stock) but could be painted etc https://www.boxfituk.com/equipment/brackets-frames-fixings/punch-bag-wall-bracket/exigo-ultimate-punch-bag-bracket. .

If you’re willing to pay a carpenter or have a particularly handy friend... could you build in a cupboard that goes all the way across (wall to wall and from the bottom of the gallows bracket to the ceiling), but where the middle section is just fake with non-opening doors? I can’t find a picture of exactly what I mean but think similar to overbed cupboards, could obviously paint/put nice doors on as you wanted
