    Fence posts

    I need to replace three 100 X 100 fence posts that are set into concrete in very clay soil. The fence was built professionally using a nail gun so would be very difficult to dismantle. My intended repair is to put the new posts into meta posts, set in concrete just a foot or so away from the...

    Crown or Dulux

    I need to repaint some skirting. Last done about 8 years ago. Can I use the one coat paints (they were done with full gloss before) If so, Crown or Dulux for the better gloss finish?
