    Monoblock driveway - Excavation Depth

    I'm currently obtaining quotes for the above. I've asked the two companies whom I have already had quotes from how deep they would dig to do the prep. work, and have had quite a difference in their responses. One said about 200 - 300 mm. The other said about 600mm. I realise that the...

    Painting new wooden facia & soffit

    I'm in the middle of a home extension and have given the new facia and soffit their first and second coats without priming beforehand. I have used Butinox 2 for both coats. Is this a schoolboy error or do I have nothing major to worry about? Cheers
