Hi everyone.
I have a slightly damp cellar floor/walls, but the joists are pretty dry.

Can anyone see anything wrong with using artex to fill chased cable channels (over capped cables of course)?
My experience of artex is that 1) I hate it as a decorative coating. however 2) It makes a good...
By as good, I mean resistance to damp/water ingress. It is in a shower area so I (think I) will be tanking anyway.
When I say fireboard, I mean the pink stuff which I think is cement based.
Just curious, I have not seen any posts about this on this site.

Thanks for the reply Symptoms.
It's pretty wobbly. The base units will be sitting on Yorkshire stone flagstones. I have tried using a laser, but was only holding it up against the wall, its amazing how much the line wobbles! What I may do is build up a unit, put the legs at the mid point...
Hi all, thanks again in advance for any replies, you lot have answered many questions for me in my quest for a habitable house.
I have read that the best way to level up kitchen base units is to draw a level datum line across the walls. You then line up the tops of the kitchen units with the...
