  • Extension price

    How much approximately would I look to be paying for an extension approx 4m by 6m and for a few years later to build a second floor right on top of that. Or am I crazy to think something like this is possible?

    Frenchic paint on stained wood.

    Has anybody painted stained wood with frenchic paint? I have heard it sticks to anything and works wonders. The only way I know how to paint stained wood is sand, stain blocker, primer, then whatever finish you want. Is frenchic the miracle paint it claims to be and can slap straight on and you're done.

    Turf gravel garden

    What is typically involved in converting a gravel garden (soil underneath) into a regular grass garden? How much would it cost to have done, assuming the garden is thirty-two square metres? Is it cheaper than getting artificial grass? How long does the process usually take? Is the quality of turf used hugely important? How do I know if the installer is using good quality turf?
