    Cracked screed on floor. How to prepare for carpet

    We are renovating a downstairs room that has a lino floor. When we took the skirting boards off and lifted the edge of the lino we found that the concrete didn’t go all the way to the walls ( 1 inch gap all the way round) and the gaps appear to be filled with loose material. When our radiator was fitted the concrete on the floor broke and we found it was only about 1cm thick. Do we need to get the whole floor re-done before replacing skirting and getting carpets fitted or is this a quick fix for any cracks or holes we find?

    Treatment for old wood before use

    I have lots of old wooden planks from a decking that was disassembled years ago. Long story short, some of them never made it to the tip and they’ve just been sitting in the shed. I would like to make something with them as a DIY project, might as well put them to use. Is there anything I’ll need to do first to ensure that they are not harmful, infested with bugs, etc.? They look fine on the surface but I want to be sure. What should I treat the wood with before using it as construction material for household fittings?
