I'm planning on fitting some new posts to support a bowed fence. It's individual 6" boards with a top, middle and bottom rail. Just wondering if I should set the posts away from the rails a bit till the concrete/ post mix dries and then make up the gap with some treated timber. I'm more...

Ha, ha. I've got a post on that 2007 thread. Clearly a clever bloke, just a massive pita.

Just spotted Dulux Weathershield smooth masonry paint on the screwfix website. Looks like it will do the job unless someone has a better suggestion.

We have these rubbishy concrete gutters. Next door have just had theirs painted and now mine look even tattier. Any suggestions as to best paint for the job and will they need to be primed or is it just a case of putting a couple of coats on? TIA

Ten year old golden doodle and nine month old labradoodle. Tired and shagged out after a long bark.

Foxhole. Been done in the past. Going water-based throughout the house now. Can't be doing with all the fumes and long drying times anymore. Cheers though.

Shouldn't??? Not "isn't" or "won't"? Can always change the rad if it goes pear-shaped. Cheers.

I have a radiator that has previously been painted with solvent based radiator enamel. I've sanded it down and want to repaint it using a water based satin radiator paint. Was just wondering if I should apply some sort of undercoat first? I have some Zinnser Bullseye 123, would this be suitable...

Temporary will do. She has a dish under the leak with easy access to check on things. She just wants her kitchen ceiling replaced and she's a bit reluctant while the leak is present. Will give it a go. Thanks for the assists.

Halfords here I come.

Cheers. Will look into that. Anyone else?

Friend of SWMBO just lost her kitchen ceiling to a leak under the bath. Just been to have a look and it's the corner bath itself that has sprung a leak. No obvious damage looking into the bath. Good access underneath. Anyone got any suggestions for a repair? I've got some Flexacryl(?) roof...

Since you appear to be just making stuff up, I'll issue the following reply, "Wibble".

Voted "Leave" and would vote exactly the same if they held a second referendum. All you moaning whingeing "Remainers", know where the ferry terminals and airports are.

Have just got rid of the lawn out the front of the house and chucked a load of gravel down. Was looking for something solitary as a central feature and quite fancied an acer but on reading up, they may not like the exposed, sunny position or the clay soil. Not looking for anything too big...

Knowing my luck, I'll be the 1 time out of 10 when it goes wrong. Was just trying to avoid sanding. It's been painted a fair few years. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Cheers.

Was doing a job for a guy a lot of years ago. Said he was going to be installing sliding wardrobes at the weekend so I marked all pipe locations on the floorboards. Got a call Saturday afternoon, saying that he'd manage to drill through a pipe. You can't help some people.

I have a ceiling painted with vinyl silk that I now wish to paint with matt emulsion. I have a tin of Dulux water-based primer and undercoat. Could I just go over the existing silk emulsion with the Dulux stuff and then apply the matt emulsion or would I still need to sand the silk paint to...

Might have been clout nails then. Or it could be me dementia.
