Was just thinking, should i pour self level compound on this step or should i just cement and sand mixture it to level it out?

i thought to cover the wood, i dunno as protection, or should I just treat it a few times, and then brave it

Good stuf so this is what I am going to fo cement over so smooth, then a hardwood cill on the cemented step, where should i get it from, how do i fix it into place and what do i put to seal the edges around it? Can i cover it with vinyl self adhesiove strips, or is that ridiculous?

The previous laminate underlay was abutted right next to the step as well as the plywood being in contact. Below the stone slab was a very thin line of soil from the outside that was moist. I think that was the source. That has been removed now and cemented over.

Hi everyone Currently installing new floorboards in the garden outbuilding. This is a photo of a step after coming in that needs to be covered in some way. Previous builders had put laminate flooring in this area and water seepage occured via the underlay and then rotted floorboards over time...

is it okay to apply this wood preserver ina new plywood sheet? I applied a layer on to the current plywood boards, but when it dries, it looks like there has been nothing done to them!

Hi, a couple of questions if I may , my friends. In the process of refurbing my garden office, I am thinking about floor maintenance. The builders 5 years ago, laid 18 mm think plywood sheets and there was underlay and then laminate on top of that. I have chucked the old laminate and underlay...

So I have an outbuilding I inherited after taking over the property , was built 5 years ago. It is at the back garden and used as an office/ gym. Noticed a severe musky smell and the floorboards were dipping when walking. Had to strip the floor boards- I found moisture damage under the vinyl of...

the two block wall is the wall u see on the roight, it goes right around the outbuilding. ONe thing I ahve noticed is that after a lot of rain the past 5 years, the concrete base in the outbuilding is completely dry. so as per 'robinbanks' advice, i dont think ventilation is needed, i could be...

Sure. I can attach a file, the pic is of the current floor as it is, i know i dont have much room between the bottom of the joist and concrete base.

As the concrete is completely dry on the base there has been no moisture there at all in 5 years from what I can see. Do I still need to ventilate the gap at the bottom? If so how do I do it because the builders didn't do anything in that regard and the building is rendered on the outside AND...

So I have an outbuilding built 5 years ago at the back of my garden. I could smell damp inside and the floorboards were very bouncy. The building has a concrete base with suspended wooden joists. This is followed by plywood panels then laminate flooring vinyl then laminate floor itself. There...

Hello So I have an outbuilding outside, I am getting the flooring out due to mould damage to the plywood floor (I have found the leak- it was at floor level!). The subfloor is a suspended timber floor approx 15 cm above a clean, water free concrete base. I am going to insulate in between the...
