Anyone ?

Hi would anyone happen to know what paint I would be best using to paint a fibreglass shipping container. I looked today whilst in Homebase but was completely baffled and noone there seemed to know. Thanks in advance

Thank you both I did pop the cap on before as it was lashing down I shall find out who measures the radon level and get it done when I can. Sorry if come across thick.

Hi thanks for replies. Can you tell me if this pipe should just be left like this or does it have to go up like the ones from toilets ? (can not think of name ) and can i top it with that black cover to stop rain going in or do i have to leave open ? many thanks

Could someone tell me which part of forum I would find advice on a radon sump Cheers

I foolishly used some Cuprinol woodworm treatment last night on 3 small areas of my floor thinking it would be dry this morning not sure if it is just the staining but it is quite obvious this morning and my carpet fitter is coming today some time to carpet the whole of the upstairs . Is this...

Thank you for prompt reply :D

Hi I have just boxed in my ugly underfloor heating manifold pipes then wondered if they need ventilating or not . Can anyone advise please ? have wooden tongue n groove doors on them posted pic easier than explaining .Thanks

A bit late but I agree with the others. If your spread advised to use PVA before painting he needs his power mud stirrer broken, his trowel hacked against the corner of a brick wall & then, preferable, bloody shooting :roll: . I really don’t know where he’s got that idea from but...

Thanks John . No it's all new plaster throughout . He does seem fond of the Pva i think i shall give him the other 3 tubs that i have bought and get myself some more emulsion :lol:

Thanks both :D just realised he told me to pva before we tiled the bathroom walls too which i have :shock:

I was always led to believe that i should use watered down emulsion to coat newly plastered walls before my 1st proper coat of paint but my plasterer is advising that i use a layer of 50/50 pva water to coat all the walls 1st instead ?? Can anyone tell me if they think this is correct before i...

I got you Thanks again

Cheers kid i won't lose out i just wanted to know if what he was saying about cutting down the frame etc was normal practice . He is a bit condescending lovie :roll: :lol: but i have a couple good lads there doing other work so i am not scared of him . Thanks again all that replied . I have 9...

I think i will take your advice. I think i will get the plasterer to do the landing monday and get him back after to do the balustrade and last 2 sills together then pay him the remander of his cash in one hit . Then if he wont come back to quote for putting the proper doors on in jan i try find...

i think so i have held some of his money back that he asked for from his price for work . i shall discuss it with him on monday on site . shame his work is spot on. He said on the phone last night i am just a woman and i didn't understand what he said :shock: but the builder was there when he...

:lol: He brought a cheap handle for my temp door for 10 quid then told me on friday it was 15 quid .

no it was a fixed price . he is also charging 15 quid because he had to remove a piece plaster board too . I think perhaps he under charged me to get the job and is now trying to make up the shortfall. He also wanted to fix my sills with expanding foam but i told him that i could of done that...

I had a price off a joiner to fit stairs , door cases , a door frame , 2 old doors and 14 oak window sills . His work is faultless but he keeps asking me to pay for extra things . for example he wants 15 quid extra because he had to cut down the frame to suit the door . Is this normal ? I would...

Cheers he aint tackled the decorative beams yet tho :wink:
