Recent DIY SOS

[NickB_99]

Hello all

Did anyone see the DIY SOS programe the other night?

I found it interesting, as it clearly showed how damp had come through the dabs on p/boarded D&D, where it had been applied straight onto Limestone walls.
Most of the boarding had been done by the buider that had walked away, and they had to start by ripping it all out, and then covered the bare walls with sand & cement render.
I don't think they mentioned what ratios or admixtures they put in - how inconsiderate

PS for later on, Happy New Year all

I agree with ya Newbee. Sometimes they give you a "top tip", but it would be more useful if they told the viewers exactly what a problem was, it's cause, and the way to remedy it. It would have probably have been a 4 to 1 scratch, then a 5 to 1 top coat, with a waterproofer/plasticiser admix, but it would be handy if they told the viewers for future reference.
I watch the programme a lot,,, love it. They're all really good tradesmen. All the best to you and yours for New Year mukka!
