Oh really? that sound good. I had my gabel end re pointed (he used cement, I didnt know any different then), and he had some guns where you put it in one end and squirt it into the gaps, looked easy enough. Even easier if I dont have to learn to mix it etc. Ill have to call round the merchants...

When I said no lintel I was of course being very thick and meant no cill lol

I am thinking more about taking it off now, I know your right. I remeber my surveyor telling me that there had been a fire in the corner once from a hole in the chimney, he noted that the joists had been replaced from it, so I am a little worried that the stone will be soot black but i guess its...

Chocolate seen as she is pregnant but aye your probably right!!

I read.that pva stops the stone.from breathing put then so does anything but lime plaster. I have loads of damp problems and im wondering if thats why, so iI am tempted to rip it down. Emma is freaking out though as I promised her iI would have it finished by the time lucy is born and I am...

you know I have been thinking about it. there's pros and cons to it. yes.it would look really nice it would possibly fix some damp issues elsewhere as normal plaster should not have been used on stone walls. there could be some nasty surprises and have to pay someone to cover it up again...

The blocks will be much like this below as this is the window above only it is smaller than the one I am talking about. The stone is Yorkshire stone and the houe is an old co-op built about 400 yrs ago. This room was the warehouse, I know that because there are coffin dors to the ground floor...

Oh paper would be ok would it? it isnt damp there. I dont know how tight i could get it as theres noting there but the floor boards above but I ill give it a go. I think I have a bit of timber in my shop that wil make a good cill. Im going to go with the cutting back a little plan and not touch...

Thanks for replying. Yes cutting back sounds a better idea for me. So one coat, okie dokie! I was wondering if even filler might be better but its a lot more expensive than plaster. Is expanding foam on the top the way to go? im worried that could be a mistake.

Thanks for the reply, all that is way above my skill level. I want to keep the stone though so boarding the sides isnt the way I was hoping to go, though I doneed to put in a cill your right.

no one any advice :-(

Hi Everyone. My baby girl is due in less tan 2 weeks and we were decorating her bedroom. When I got to the window, all the timber (it used to be a sash window so had ply from wall to window if you know what I mean) was all damp and knackered. I have removed all that and solved the cause of...

I read that model is particularly bad, due to a design fault they have endless problems with leaking and circuit board failures. Ok, I will have that checked.

Thats what the dude said, Im thankfull I checked

Out of interest, I did have a heating engineer on site. There is an ideal isar he30 there at the moment with no control valves and a wireless handset. The guy told me it was an excellent boiler and would do me fine, I should just change its location and leave the system as it is. I went on the...

Im sorry if my posts are confusing, I have just noticed words missing, I bought a new wireless keyboard and the range isn't very good.

I didn't stick a pin a a list of boilers lol, I did rad about them first. The shower isn't over a bath but it is in the master bathroom so effectively the same thing. As I said the water pressure is extremely high, I forget the figure, but people find there systems exploding if reducing valves...

I have a friend that had his Viessmann insatalled on friday, he has only just worked out how to get it on constant, still hasnt figured anything else out. Is there a system you would reccomend? and Thanks David, noted

The water pressure in my area is very, we have to fit reducer valve to our systems. I would expect that normally only one family however its max 6 people sharing 2 baths, 1 shower 1 kitchen. I don’t think there would be anywhere to put a tank really, they are quite big bulky things to hide...

Your right, not suitable for this situation as it could potentially have 3 different families in it, people often share I am led to believe and as you said, I can’t expect my customers to carry a box around with them everywhere. I think that it would do me well at home though and I will consider...
