Thanks everyone. The things we have had to do in this house to make it liveable is unreal :( we also have lots of ladybirds inside and no idea how they are getting in!!

Hi. We just moved into a private rented property and behind the bathroom sink there is a hole and in the hole it is like full of black bristles? What is it please? Thanks

I think were we have gone wrong was thinking it wasnt indented where the mouldings had been. It honestly didnt look it or feel it! So after 2 lays of paint and hand sanding it still not looking I got a powerful torch and shone it down the length of the fireplace and then it was obvious it was...
