    Advice Please

    So I am trying to tile around my kitchen window. After my first attempt using a Mapi Tile & Grout product, I have decided to start again as half the tiles still completely loose overnight.

    My tiles are white and ceramic most of the DIY places have sold out of white adhesive they only sell grey. I already have some white grout. But if the adhesive is under the tile why does colour even matter?

    Driveway Weeds

    Thanks, it is also where grass and weeds grow at the side of my driveway. I live in a mid-terraced house with fences either side of my blocked direway. Both tend to attract grass and weeds wondered if I could put some kind of membrane down with some stones?

    Sound proofing a wall

    I don't understand your termanology but the wall does have a shared chimney either side of it (well not on my side as we took it down and my house is a mid terrance house). Maybe that was not a great idea now..
