jumping on my brand new car and leaving deep scratch marks which now my car needs respraying to fix it.

can anyone recommend a animal deterrent device I can put in the garden to stop cats/foxes. I’ve had a look on eBay/Amazon and there’s so many of the same product so wondering if any of you have had any experiences with a certain one you recommend.

I’m planning on using a single timber sleepers as a perimeter for a climbing frame playing area for my kids. As I'm only going to use one length of timber sleepers all away round the perimeter will I need to use fixings to secure them together such as laying concrete as a foundation on the soil...

I will be buying a climbing frame for my boys and want to know what ground work preparations I need to do before installing it as I want spend a bit of time getting it right so it lasts years. I want to know what’s the best in terms of drainage, weed control and what sort of material to put...

its a stone wall, would the damp area need hacking off and replastered or could this damp patch be dried out by a dehumidifier?

Hi, not sure which forum to post this on as I would class it as plastering & painting. I’ve found and repaired a penetrating damp issue I noticed which was caused by an external crack which caused my internal walls to bubble and paint flaking off. im now wondering what is the best course of...

I have multifinish abd bonding on me in the shed, can I achieve the same sort of finish with either of these or do I need a trip down to B&Q?

I’ve cut 2 channels for electrical cable and I’ve applied bonding as a rough coat and im wondering which product is best to finish the wall without showing any joins. Would multifinish or dot and dab be best to have a smooth joinless finish?

tried bridging a cable between the terminals and still nothing.

I removed the switch itself and tested the incoming voltage where I had 12v. how do I go about bridging the wires?

the brake lights on my 04 Transit Connect have stopped working. Bought two new bulbs and fuses are all good. I have located and tested the brake light switch and am receiving 12v into the switch but unsure how to check if switch is broken or not. Any suggestions?

the wall is still a bit damp. Am I better off in this case to use an oil based undercoat or the spray you mentioned then a couple of coats of emulsion to sort it out?

BUMP

I only gave it one coat. What about using Zinsser 123 as it sounds like it has similar stuff to the BIN but its water based not oil or am I just better off using an oil based undercoat?

I've tried the Zinsser BIN in the past and I applied it to the wall when on the bare plaster after I sanded it back and I found that when I then applied two coats of the coloured matt paint which is Dulux 'Timeless' which is a slighly off white and it wouldn't paint over the Zinsser BIN without...
