    Ryobi powertools

Nowadays, as these manufactures always do, I think Ryobi power tools are not as good or as strong as they were, in fact AEG tools are...

    Slate patio mortar

    Whoops, whatever you paint it with will peel off, you need to dig it out before it cures too much, go B@Q or wherever and buy some bags of rendering sand, 4 to 1 mix with cement and it will cure to a grey consistency, if you have a cement mixer buy some black Cementone mortar additive and follow...
