Thanks JohnD. There are many unbranded Glyphosate versions, but how can I be sure that the one I'm getting is one of the strongest available? Can you recommend an unbranded Glyphosate for me....just make sure that it's concentration is very very strong.

Thanks JohnD & Glasgowdan I'll take your advice and will leave the weeds for another week or two and then I'll clip them from as close as possible to the ground. @ JohnD - This is what I used:- Bayer Garden Super Strength Weedkiller I dropped one whole satchet in 1 litre of cold water and...

Thanks for clarifying that guys. @JohnD - Isn't pathclear similar to Bayers super weed killer with granules to dissolve in water? The reason I ask is because I mixed a very strong concentrate of Bayers (1 sachet to 1ltr of cold water) and left it for upto 4 weeks, but not a single weed died...

Thanks glasgowdan. I don't want to tp trim too early, so How many weeks, after spraying roundup do I need to wait before trimming them off?

Hi everyone, I had a lot of weeds growing around my house external walls & patio. I've used Roundup Ready to Use and now it's been approx 2-2.5 weeks and they all seem to be dead (brown & bone dry). I'm just not sure what to do now...do I pull them out or do I simply clip them off at their...

Thanks owainDIYer.

Oh I see. I wasn't aware of this. Surely the stoves that give out very little smoke, won't be very powerful in kw? Can you recommend any? Also don't stoves require a lot of maintenance and cleaning out of chimneys every year?

Thanks very much chivers & deadshort for clarifying that.

Thank you. Would it be difficult to wire it up though? I mean where would I connect the transformer wires to?

Hi guys, I have a Friedland 424 Door chime, which takes 4 1.5v batteries. Is it possible for me to add a transformer to the chime, so that it can be main's powered instead?

Thank you Frank for your advice. Firstly, please accept my apologies for not replying sooner. Just had a lot on and haven't had the chance to go on the computer. I like the idea of building a proper room on concrete foundation and then installing a sump, but due to excessive costs, I may have...

Really? Well I'm certainly learning something new on here. Look what you've done....you've got me started with your great ideas, :D:p...What if I opened up this coal flap and used the hole to actually take out soil from the cellar and convert the basement to a proper room? Or is that wishful...

I've been looking into it and I don't think I'm allowed to have a stove as I live in a smoke-free zone.

Lol! Ahh right.. Yeah that's very useful. What about the stove??

Thanks again. I don't think it has any ventilation holes as otherwise I'd be able to see these on the inside. May I ask how having this metal plate relates to laying a concrete floor? Cheers

So there's no need to do anything with it?

I thought JohnD was suggesting it needs to be cleared of any rubble?? So what do you recommend I do?

Thanks for clarifying that guys, so now I can safely assume that it's definately a coal room. I can't check it now as it's late, but there is no bolt on the inside, so how do I open it?

I originally did have a central heating pipe that had a leak dripping straight on the floor in the coal room, however I've fixed this a couple of weeks ago. I don't have any leaking downpipes. Not sure about the gulley leaking, but since there are no actual water drips on the walls nor are...

Holes? You mean brick size holes or small drill holes?
