I've seen paint in B&Q that was intended for concrete floors, this might be what you need. Can't remember what it was called, think it might have been 'garage paint' or something

I've laid three slab patios and never had any weeds come through the gaps but that's probably because I put down a 2-3 inch layer of dry-mix first Any patio you lay next to your house has to slope away from it. Normally you would lay the patio so that it's almost level and just sloping away...

Thanks for the replies - I see the Haynes manual is available on Amazon. I also found the Honda engine manual for my mower (on Honda's website) there are some instructions in there about what you should do before storing the mower for long periods - basically I think it's just emptying the...

In April 2004 I built a 12ft x 8ft shed in my garden to a plan I found in an American book. I modified the plan where necessary to suit the materials that are available locally (I live in SW Scotland). The main modification was the type of exterior cladding for the walls. In the book...
