    Can you render in the rain?

    We've got rendering booked but I'm now a bit worried about what happens if the weather changes. Does wet weather stop the job or can it be done in light rain if it's not too heavy?

    Ideas for Garage storage?

    Hey everyone. I want to tidy up the garage and I’m thinking about types of storage. It’s a small space, enough only for a single car. I’ve looked at garage shelving, does this need to be garage specific or can I buy any type of shelf to use? What about storage containers? Or are they just a waste of space? Can you provide any other good ideas to store garden tools? Thanks

    Is it likely that a loft needs new joists before being converted? I guess this could vary a lot from house to house?

    Plastering after electrical work finished

    We're having our electrics chased into the walls and we're worried the plaster repair work afterwards will be obvious. Do you think we should get the rooms skimmed over?

    Plastering over a damp wall

    Hello. I have a problem with what I believe is penetrating damp on an internal wall. There is no damage to the skirting or the lower part of the wall. The damage seems to be just above waist heigh and is slowly creeping horizontally. It looks like it's just the skim which is falling off. Underneath the skim looks to be cement plaster?. (It's grey and rough) There also seems to be salts being produced making the plaster fall off. What would be the best way to deal with this so I can redecorate. The wall in question has tiles on the opposite side as It's a dry cleaners which originally didn't have tiles and I believe that the tiles are pushing the moisture through to my side of the wall. I really appreciate any help with this problem. Thank you for your time.
