I have a 4ft sq, 2ft high brick raised bed in my garden. It is south facing & in the warmer months gets the sun virtually all day. Any ideas what type of soil i should use to fill this bed?
I am a bit concerned that some soil may dry out in the warmer months!

The extension size would be for, roughly, a 14x12ft extension on the ground floor only to add a 3rd bedroom. There is a brick store room/ shed in the place at the moment that would need to pulled down. I'm only looking for a very rough estimate here while I think about a house I want to buy, e.g. would it cost £1-5K, £5-10k, £10-15k, etc.

I want to appologise to all who replied to my Question. It was my 1st and I clicked for best answer, and then deleted the question.

When I did my second question, I realised, it hadn't gone through and also, deleting is not good cause someone might want to know a similar question, which would have shown your answers.

So I appologise and I have learnt my lesson. Thanks to all - I worked it out.

we need to install ceramic floor tiles on an already existing cement flooring and the contractor insists that a 1/8" thick tile adhesive will be adequate and so we need not scrape off some of the existing flooring.

As I was using the blow dryer, the GFCI outlet when out. I went to flip the breaker completely off and then back on, but it still doesn't work. Now, all of my GFCI outlets are not working. How can I fix this problem? Or do I need to call an electrician?
