Ratty. Hose down the walls firstly then apply a scratch coat with plenty of waterproofer in it. Make sure the mix has been well turned in the mixer and is a nice wet consistancy. When the scratch has cured over the next two days you can then give a light spray with water and render with your...

If its one of J.B's it will fall off of its own accord within eighteen months. :D

Do they have a Netto in Blackpool thats sells White Lightning and cheap cider, with a couple of nice benches outside....That would suit me perfectly!!! :D
