Its aquaseal tanking

Had the ceiling skimmed in the bathroom a few weeks ago and we painted it about a week ago. did a base of watered down paint and then a few days later we did two top coats with a bathroom paint which is water and mold resistant. last night i noticed the paint looked to be bubbling up, but on...

someones knocked a concrete ballard over on my street, its on its side and left a crater in the pavement, i assume that should be reported to the council?

its a nice idea, but really bad for you eyes, although im guessing they didnt know that then

I had a full asbestos house survery done (including sample testing), i was probably over worried from all the warnings, but they made holes and tested all the ceilings walls, pipes and anything else that would be a possible, they found it in the soil stack, the soffits and the pad under the...
