1 month ago I scraped off loose paint, filled, painted with paint for stonework. 1 month later it's peeling off, it's mostly on the inside of an outside wall, so obviously moist air condensing on a cold wall.. but still!. What to do? :eek: the picture is from yesterday

thanks for everyone's input, you've been most helpful :)

I might come back and remind you during the next UK flood where they call in the Dutch pumps.. again! ;)

So there is a dishwasher outpipe linked in higher up, it it likely that water could be coming back up this black discharge pipe?

This water line is feeding into a boiler to heat hot water for the tap, my guess is it's not any more high pressure than usual here in the netherlands, the plack pipe is pushed onto a nipple to feed into the down pipe.

Hi, What is it? and is it necessary, it looks to me like stuff is sometimes flowing back up it, and it's after the u-bend so that lovely drain smell is prevalent :sick: Thanks James

Video content Incorrect point 1 : countries actually aren't in the eu for "easier travel". Incorrect point 2 : The EU bribes teachers to brainwash pupils (LMFAO this doesn't deserve a reply) Incorrect point 3 : The young are uneducated and therefore voted to remain. (so everyone that voted...

well 30,000euro / 450 euro is 66 ;) doors are also expensive and England isn't as rip off as you all think, our economy is doing well so everything is more expensive plus we have big windows over here 3mtr x 2mtr is normal, so yes a large percentage of my front and back is window, plus the attic...

So not so much a disaster then.. The previous owner was a big company so I can't imagine money was an issue. I certainly would be ****ed off to spend so much on double glazing for them to leave a 1m2 Gap* and obviously the frame is twice as thick as it should be which means less light, I asked...

It's not my DIY disaster and I have a feeling that it was done by a company rather than an individual.. which makes it worse, i'm no professional double glazer but i'm pretty sure this isn't right. ok before shot, they left the old wooden window frame in place and fixed the pvc frame onto it...
