  • Garage wall mould

    I’ve got a garage in the garden and in the summer I decided to fix OSB3 to the internal wall and paint it with a wood primer which is water based to make the wall look tidy since the person who plastered it didn’t do a good job. Now that winter is here I’ve noticed mould growing on parts of the wall. What can I do to fix it apart from using mould removal spray, looking for a permanent solution.

    Recommended brands for concrete rollers

    I am planning to buy a lawn roller next month. I’ve been researching different types of rollers and I’ve read about the many benefits of a solid concrete roller. I’ve had a good look online and they seem to be few and far between. I found a few products for sale on eBay and that was about it. Are there any brands you’d recommend I check out who still sell concrete rollers? Or are they no longer being produced?
