    Tiling onto newly laid wet screed

    I'm looking to bring an exterior concrete area up to the level of a neighbouring section and then tile it. The screed will be 50 / 60mm. Can I simply tile straight onto the new screed rather than waiting for it to dry and using tile glue? If I do, should I add a slurry or a dusting of cement to...

    Drylining 60m2 garage ceiling

    My garage has a beam and block ceiling. To make it 'nicer' I plan to install a plasterboard ceiling under it. With it being so big (roughly 8m square) I'm not sure how to go about it. The two options I see are: 1. Wooden battons screwed to the beams, then attach plasterboard to those. I'd like...
