    What are the best plants for shade?

    I need shade loving plants ideas because we have a small north facing garden and a 3 storey house.

    Suspect Planning Department

    A friend lives in a semi and the next door has been sold. Building work started with the concrete roof tiles being replaced with slates At the time Planning permission had not been granted The join between the different roofs has been covered with ridge tiles which are not placed accurately over the join. In other words the top tile is fully on my friends roof and the bottom tile fully on the other partys roof. The planning dept were told but they have given planning permission for the change. As the new house owner spent money buying slates which might not have got planning permission I suspect he has a friend of influence

    Wall with plaster-wallpaper several layers of paont

    Hi, I’ve got walls in my house where the wallpaper has been put on the plaster without base coat. On top of the wallpaper there are several layers of different paints. Can I sand this down until the plaster, wash it with sugar soap and than apply a new layer of paint? Would that work?
