Due to an illness, a new shower was recently fitted over the old bath. The walls were 30+ years old plaster (still looks ok) covered in waterproof paint. The volume of the shower etc has removed the paint down to plaster (now gets wet but dries quickly over couple of days) this last few months...

Any any idea where I could get orange from as my last comment end of these postings?

The sides then used to clamp each side of e.g deck boards.. the sides screw fixed to the bench or board or whatever

OK I think I understand confusion here now. Yes your idea is good. The only issue is I can't seem to find 2 of those orange L shaped sides which would effectively be like a mitre box. Thoughts?

Sorry Opps, not sure what you mean?. Was after something as shown orange (2 off) in picture that would fix to board. You mean space the orange bits for the widest then keep them fixed and do what for lesser width wood?. My apologies if I'm a bit confused

I've got good level concrete kitchen floor in this oldish house. Once scrubbed clean of grease/dirt, what Primer or Sealant do I use prior to using Mapei adhesive?. I'm using Porcelain Plank style tiles. What type of Mapei (or is there similarly alternative adhesive) that works best with primer...

Hi, we've a hardstanding just outside the back door that's a combination of uneven concrete and paving slabs from many years ago. It's solid but not level either but does allow surface water to drain away on to the lawn borders (that's fine). Was wanting to put a little patio area over the above...
