Application of pliolite paint requires surfaces to be dry. But how about damp conditions? Forecast for Jan/Feb is cold and wet. Any non rainy day will still be cold and damp. Unfortunately cannot wait for spring/summer as my scaffold is due to go up in the next couple of weeks for solar panels.

House insurance includes a cost for the total rebuild of the buildings. If your new flooring does not up the cost beyond that already insured, I assume you do not need to inform the insurer.

When printing a 13 page document, the printer stopped and juddered a couple of lines. It then emitted a short grinding noise as if a gearing wheel was turning on a seized shaft. Printer then displayed error code Fx01 A quick look does not identify any jammed gearing/mechanism. Paper is all...

I listened to the full sentencing brief by the judge today which took over an hour to deliver. The details of the torture which the parents administered was shocking. But once again lessons have not been learnt from previous similar cases. Social Services will no doubt claim overworked...

Several branches came down during the storm and there was worryingly a significant movement of the trunk. All three arborists who came out to view the tree (before the storm) confirmed a polarded eucalyptus would struggle, so have decide to remove it completely.

There is no shame in pulling out as all purchases are usually 'subject to survey'. If you want the property, it would be logical to seek a price reduction to meet the cost of work identified by the survey.

Labour found it easy to criticise whilst in opposition. Finding it hard now to manage in office. 6 months on and the growth promised by Reeves is going negative :)

Reform's top team are all established successful businessmen. Our current government and main opposition are mainly career politicians. Seems a logical alternative ;)

Logic suggests that as the number of monthly prizes reduce, investors will cash out their bonds, thus reducing the number of bonds in the pot. This then reduces the impact on my investment if I keep my bonds intact. ;)

All depends whether your mindset is buying an investment or buying a home. I paid well over the odds for my current house as it was to be my final move. That was 20yrs ago and the only people who show an interest in the current value, are my adult kids!!!

Both sides are probably seeking to establish land boundaries ready for Trump's solution(?).

Hmmmm..... Leyland, Armstead, Johnstone's, Macpheron, Sandtex365..... and more pilolite !!! A quandry :unsure::unsure: EDIT - Weather Tex do not have magnolia in their colour catalogue :(

Interest rate has been reduced for Jan 2025 resulting in less winners :(

I'm having solar panels fitted January so using same scaffold to paint my exterior walls. Hence the query regarding painting in low temps.

There comes a point when a tree becomes unmanageable. When we moved in 20yrs ago it was a young tree but like all things, they grow and grow. Over the years I have had it trimmed to manage the canopy, but the main trunk continues on. You will see from the pic that it is leaning. Whilst the...

Pliolite paint is not breathable as it is oil based. I'm painting my exterior walls in winter which have been previously painted with Sandtex masonry paint (10 yrs ago) My house has no damp problems so should I be concerned that the new paint is not breathable? Cheers All.

I've now had 2 arborists come out and offer advice. The canopy is all generated from upper branches and there is no growth from mid height. The upper branches are all hanging low, which means that there is little scope of reducing height without losing the canopy. Pollarding to reduce height...

Highland Cathedral is a stunning piece by the massed pipe bands.

I have asked a tree surgeon to pop round over the w/e to consider pollarding. The canopy is quite high up so am concerned that reducing height by about 6 feet and its width may result in a lot of just bare branches. Whats not obvious from the image is that the leaf bearing branches all sprout...

As this net zero policy is going to introduce additional tax on boilers, and probably ban them all together one day. Would it be prudent to buy a new boiler now and keep it boxed and await the total failure of my 10yr old Worcester Bosch boiler?
