    Salts on the wall.

    The hole is 50p size. The area by the step does collect water but also slowly drains away through gravel over concrete. The plastic cover does lift in the middle so I will sort that out No bird table for that reason. Inside of the door is a kitchen with obvious food and pet bowls. We have...

    Growth on wall after bubbling

    Would 50/50 white vinegar help temporarily or even take the wall around the area back to brick plaster then skim? With a baby on the way and other rooms to decorate, this is not what I wanted.
