Hi, I have tried searching but hasn't found what I am looking for. I have just stripped the wallpaper off my living room walls to find that the plaster is pretty good apart from the external corners of the chimney and bay window. They currently have wooden corner beads, some of which are...

Hi, I am looking for a little advice regarding pouring a slab for a workshop floor. I have cleared the top soil and put down about 100mm of stone as a sub base, and now am deciding how best to make the shuttering. 2 sides of the shuttering could be formed by a sleeper wall, and the concrete...
