Well i cannot find any more excuses, its either spend £15k on new windows and doors or try and paint our brown ones to black. Done it before for someone else using Zinsser grey primer and 2 coats of fortress matt. Been 4yrs since i last did them and they are still in good nick. Only problem I...

Thank you Hugh, will post a pic when it is light tomorrow.

Can someone give me some guidance on which drain should be installed externally ? I am sure the wrong drain has been fitted prior to us buying this house. We get really strong sewage smells coming from it, so I am thinking that it has either been fitted wrongly or it is the wrong type. I am also...

Thanks, appreciate that.....

I regularly use Leyland and find that fine.
