    Garden Gate Challenge

    Thanks - I do have some cut offs and was debating that actually. I may do it next time I'm there. This is true but one of the tenants is 6.3 and this is around 6" high so he may struggle. Will keep in mind for similar projects though - thanks

    Expanding Foam in Cavity Wall Issue

    I am a landlord and my tenants experienced issues with damp on the inside of a bay window and it didn't seem like there was an issue with condensation or ventilation (as is usually the case). I noticed a crack where the bay window render meets the brickwork on the outside of the house and...
