    Plaster pulls when wet troweling

    Yea, I understand what you're saying. I'll pay more attention to this next time I'm plastering too then. Thanks for the pointers.

    Plaster pulls when wet troweling

    Thanks for the help. I've done 2 full rooms so far & it only happens occasionally. The most infuriating thing is I don't know what's causing it, so don't know what I need to change. I thought I was keeping the trowel clean & wet, but possibly not enough. I'll keep a closer eye next time & see...

    How to edge a path that drops off on one side

    I've had a look, and although they look nice, they're not cheap, and I won't ever get to see them, so not sure it's worth the cost unfortunatly!

    How to edge a path that drops off on one side

    I did, but I couldn't find anything regarding the level of step I have here. I found stuff for a step, or for an edge, but not for the 30-40cm drop I have here.

    How to edge a path that drops off on one side

    Currently, one edge of the path that runs down the side of my house & to the back of the garden is sat ~30-40cm higher than the ground level of the house it joins onto. It is currently block paved, with a wooden fence going down to ground level on the neighbours side. The edge of the path seems...

    Window extend to french doors - how tall for doors?

    Window extend to french doors - how tall for doors?

    Hi All, I'm normally quite DIY savy, but never had this situation before, so after some opinions... I'm opening an existing window downwards, and replacing with french doors. My question is regarding how low should this go for the doors? Normally I'd have thought it wants to stop at floor level...
