    How could I repair this plaster damage?

    After removing the loose bits, I would slap on a generous amount of "No Nonsense All Purpose Filler" from Screwfix and sand down with a power sander after 24 hours. It might be a generic Screwfix filler but it's ready mixed and decent, and you'll get the job done for 3 quid.

    Exterior Ply

    I need some timber sheets for an outdoors project, and I'm struggling to find something suitable. A visited the local DIY stores and the Plywood rated for exterior use seems crap. The laminated sides seem to separate and peel off really easily, and I can't imagine it holding up when I cut it...
