Hi Emilybronti. I cant advise on blasting them with the karcher but I live in a barratts bungalow and a few years ago one of my neighbours painted the surrounds of his windows pale blue, the bottom sill, top lintel and the two sides. It actually looked quite nice, mediterranean looking. I looked...

Hi Guys, Ive got to confess that it was my fault all along my gloss paint was patchy. You all helped me so much and gave me valuable tips on getting a great finish on my second door that I only felt it fair that I let you know what the problem was. Damp! Remember I said I was painting them...

Very interesting misterhelpful, thanks. Sorry about my hours of replying but Im working nights, hence replies in the middle of the night. Ive just coated it again and the more expensive roller has left a better finish but Im thinking also, maybe its just a bit too cold to get the best results...

Thanks guys, its really appreciated. The next door will get an acrylic primer first then a sand down with a fine grade paper, a thorough dusting then a gloss coat /coats with a synthetic brush. If I think its still not 100% I'll try and find some floetrol and add that. I'm glad I came here and...

Thanks misterhelpful, I think you've hit the nail on the head there. This does seem to be the problem. I have a few good quality brushes but first, as I've got plenty of time I will do a little experiment. I will try another coat tomorrow with the more expensive rollers and when it dries I'll...

Just a quick update. Ive bought dearer rollers from ANZA for gloss paint, will recoat tomorrow and report back. Steve

Hi Roundthebend, maybe you can`t hit three upright joists but I bet you can hit one and maybe two, (think they are called joists ). If not you can buy rawl plugs that are metal, Im not sure of their correct name but these are great in plasterboard. They work like this if I can explain. If the...

Hi B21playa. First Im no expert by any means, I am only giving you suggestions. I get quite a bit of condensation through winter especially when the gas cooker is on or the wife boiling something or when someone has a shower, it goes straight to my windows, thing is its that cold up here in...

Good point John B. I suppose it needs to close then after it finishes its timed run. Regarding Insulating it, thats no problem, easy access to it so will put that on my to do list also. Thanks for the replies. Ziggy S.

I was wondering about that Tickly T. If it had an overrun though of say 15 minutes do you think it would trickle back. I can see your point, it will condensate on the sides on its way out, or will it? Once the steam has been removed the fan might create a drying effect and actually blow the duct...

Thanks Woody, that saves me quite a bit of work. I will take your advice and get a centrifugal fan when the time comes. It will also have an over run which I have already been thinking of. Thanks again for your reply. Ziggy S.
