Hi Everyone, We have a solid stone house and over the last few years have removed the cement mortar from the outside side of the walls and repointed in lime. Some of the external walls inside have had the modern plaster removed and redone in lime or left as bare stone. A few of the external...

Hi Everyone, I have a log cabin (glorified shed) arriving and wanted to insulate the floor. The Cabin comes with bearers, which I am putting directly on a newly build wooden deck base. I have been reading about celotex and wondered if this can put directly on the deck base between the bearers...

now take those 400 photos and get a OneDrive, or Google Drive account and back them up.

Hi everyone, I have a set of double glazed hardwood french doors opening onto a balcony. They pen outwards and there is a draught front the join between them. There is some sealing on the threshold and around the frame so don't want to add more on top of that. Any ideas what the best way to...

Hi Everyone, I am repointing my Devon old stone house with lime and I have found some of the stones at the top near the roof (not load bearing) are loose. I want to reset these and I know how to mix up the lime mortar but wondering what the mix is for setting? I am using non-hydraulic putty...
