Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
The UK has the most retarded wall design that it needs to abandon first, though. Cavity walls suck, because you're sandwiching the insulation layer between two layers of masonry. You'll want to replace the insulation in a couple of decades and this means you'll have to dismantle the façade to get the old insulation out.
Either make the inner leaf warm enough that you don't need additional insulation (AAC or good honeycomb bricks) or replace the outer leaf with stucco or a thin façade of brick-shaped tiles that hangs off the inner leaf.
