  • How to get rid of a rancid paint smell on walls

    I've just painted a bedroom and there's a horrible sour smell coming from the walls. The paint was bought a while ago. How long will this smell last? Do I have to get it off the wall?

    How to fill in a pond

    We’ve inherited a small pond we don’t really want, and I’m not sure if it’s just a case of chucking soil in or do I have to handle it in a special way? Don't want to waste money on getting it properly removed.

    Paint peeling after underoat

    I recently moved into a new house and started preparing a wall for painting. I noticed the old paint was peeling easily, coming off in large sheets when rubbed. I removed all of the peeling paint, applied an undercoat/primer, and then painted the final top coat. However, the new paint is now peeling in the same way, even after using the primer. What could be causing this issue, and how can I ensure the paint adheres to the wall properly?
