:) I'm finishing laying a patio. The last few slabs, 900 X 600 mm, are going to be laid where we have 3 conifer trees, approx a meter apart. They need to be cut down and/or removed. Much as I hate to do this it has to be done. The trunks are approx 6 inch diameter. If I cut these below...

:?: My sons escort has been off the road for a year now. It's been kept in a garage and hardly been started. It's quite an old escort, S reg, but in really good nick.

:) Thanks guys for the replies. Yes I have scrubbed them, unfortunately they seem to blacken over quicker now, I've done it twice. I would like to paint them but not sure what the best product would be, any ideas? Thanks again for your time and ideas.

:) Hi guys thanks for the replies. As I mentioned The problem is these fixing devices don't work due to there not being enough room between the laths and the bricks behind. It really does seem like the long screws with the plug on the end of it as the main option. But at least we've...

:roll: Ah well it's the obvious answer really. Tried it and it's a pain trying to get the wall plugs to align, and you aren't able to see if the plug is turning or located properly. Just wondered if there were any kind of fixings that could be used. Seems not. :? Thanks for the reply though
