    How do I make my current fence more private?

    I currently have concrete fencing and we recently took lots of trees down from an old pond. This now has created privacy issues. Is there anything that can be done to make the current fence taller on a low budget? I don’t want to replace the fence just as it’s a solid concrete fence.

    Why is my shower not hot?

    Our electric shower is producing water that is not very hot, even on the hottest setting… what might be the reason for this? It used to run much hotter… sometimes when we switch to high power it gets a bit hotter initially but then levels out again…

    Applying anti mould pain onto plaster

    I have a patch of mould in a bedroom. I’ve had it checked by a damp specialist who says it’s to do with the temperature of the external wall not penetrating water or other causes of damp. I’ve treated it with mould killer but can I apply anti mould paint directly onto the plaster or do I need to do something else first?

    Why is plaster peeling off the ceiling around the screws?

    I’ve got swirl patterned ceilings around the house but over the last few months the plaster has started to come off only over the screws that hold the plaster board up (I think its plasterboard underneath?). It has left a few small circular holes dotted around the edges of the ceiling where the screw heads are now visible. Why would this be happening? How can I fix it?
