We have had a single storey extension on our 12 year old house and last winter we had a small leak where the extension meets the house at about the time there was a load of snow on the flat roof (caused some minor pasteboard staining but no actual drips). We had the roofers back and all seems...

PVA 1 to 5 with water or so and 4 hours between coats?

Re PVA, anyone else any ideas? I am sure I found a post on here that said filling directly on timber generally had a bad outcome?? Can't find it now though...

Can't vent above or below in to the cavity easily, horizontal stud work was added at the time the wall was built and acoustic insulation was added in that gap anyway. Next room is the lounge which would not look good to have a vent in the middle of the wall. Might buy a small temp gauge and...

How about this as a suggestion to keep the gaps small... do you think it could work?

Roger, you are taxing me with more issues!! Seriously though, the recess is only 90mm deep, the tv is a smaller (kitchen size) LED TV and is 49mm deep, leaving 41mm air gap behind apart from the wall mount, and there will be at least 5mm around the edges for air to move in and out...

Let me explain... I am recessing a TV between two studs in a partition wall, The tv is exactly the right width to fit between the studs so I can't fit any plasterboard on the sides. I will use a corner bead to make a frame, this means easi-filling over plasterboard on the main wall (with...

Anyone else any suggestions? Want to source and collect this today for another big weekend session!

Hi Joe-90, which one is £18? Google returns this web page if I search for 'easily sandable' car body filler! Where you thinking this "U Pol P38 Easy Sanding Body Filler 1.2 Litre Tin", £19?

That's very specific - I guess your expecting problems. Are you thinking kids constantly using handrails or something?

OK guys I am all set for the weekend... 1, Light sand any rough to touch areas 2, A good clean with meths to remove any dust and rubbish 3, Allow to dry 4, Apply 1 to 2 coats of Zinsser B-I-N (will see after 1st coat) 5, Apply 1 to 2 coats of Johnstone Acrylic Satin White I have my...

Hmm, was recomended the "Contractor Pro" brush set as Johnstones, 5 synthetic brushes for £13. Was hoping this would do the job - A set of 3 purdy brushes at Toolstation is £25

Hope this isn't a silly question - is Acrylic paint water based? Was thinking this one from Johnstone's Johnstone’s Acrylic Satin Brilliant White - it says no yellowing http://www.johnstonestrade.com/product-range/product.aspx?product=Acrylic_Satin

Hi Dec, thanks for your earlier reply... Yes, now thinking water based to avoid the yellowing. So my current thinking is... 1, Light sand any rough to touch areas 2, A good clean too remove any dust and rubbish 3, Allow to dry 4, Apply 1 coat of B-I-N 5, Very light sand 6, Apply 1-2...
