    Painting a masonary wall surrounding my patio

    Hi, 👋 have a garden wall and steps surrounding my patio. It’s rendered and I painted it white last year with brush, took me two days 😔 it needs cleaning up after the winter so I’m going to use my karcher and plan to use a masonary roller. Any quick ways to cut in between the bottom of the wall and patio? Or do I need to use a brush again?

    Bonding tiles old or new?

    Neighbour’s have just had a new roof and their roofer has bonded in the original very old tiles from when these houses were constructed 1950-60’s into my 5-6 year old roof. The old tiles have also been painted previously. They have used a bonding gutter in between but have put old tiles every other tile going down my roof front and back. Should the roofer not have found similar new tiles like mine and used them? Rather than the old painted tiles which were obviously at the end of their service life which is obviously why the neighbour was changing their roof.
