put on your dirty clothes. Don#t wash and let the stubble grow. Now head down to your tile shop and say you have a job thats been under ordered for. Good places will just give you the trade price. I pay around £14 / 10l of quality ready mix. These places are on massive markups you...

I need some advice bad, i have 40sq yards of 4" depth reclaimed sandstone sets (cobbles) to lay in a week as a drive. Any ideas how to lay them? they are all similar in depth 3-5". I was going to do 6" hardcore, but then what else someone told me silver sand would be best and to not use...

Wickes for example its great for plaster products. Plaster board, multi and bonding are all great value. Even their PVA is over half the price. Just because its cheap doesn't make it rubbish. And because you get 5% off 6 bags or more or even more for a pallet i know many full time guys who...

if you DIY it wont be THAT expensive but if you pay someone yes it will. VERY expensive. Best thing you can do with a cellar is leave it alone for beer wine imports

get your polish mate to have some sent over

best thing you can do with most victorian cellars is leave them alone. The cost doesn't justify it outside london. If shes really going to do a nice job on the place. 1. take up the old bords over the cellar. 2. Drop the joists by 1/2" + damp proof 3. Lay a New 1/2" chip board...

http://www.smartdraw.com/ check this software out. There is a free trial for 30 days. I bought it though it's dam nice bit of kit. Quick simple and easy not many of those programs about.

and its a nightmare, i had this problem once when i was teaching myself. Also remember to water down your first coat of paint by 1/3rd on new plastered walls. This will also help stop 'lifting'. Sounds like your having fun, keep going!

try this dvd http://www.ableskills-dvd.co.uk/plastering-dvd.htm Its good for skimming to watch someone. Secondly watch out when you paint that surface if its over polished or your paint wont stick. You should lightly sand back first.
