Been there, suffered that sort of humiliation from some nerk I wouldn't trust to clean cat's litter tray..AAagh!

I posted it 3 days ago when I first read it but where it has been since I have no idea!

A quote from my BBC tablet, I am sure it must belong in joke topics, unless you're the one who has paid 500ķ for a new house... "At first glance, Bassingbourn Fields looks like a textbook modern development, surrounded by countryside. But the residents we've spoken to tell a very different...

If you don't have a decent chisel, you need at least one for what is a fairly complex job! It seems therefore unlikely that you have 3/4" in-canel gouge and a slip stone. You have already invested a good deal of time and labour in the job so far, don't risk wasting it. Have you cut the...

From today's BBC News on my tablet... "At first glance, Bassingbourn Fields looks like a textbook modern development, surrounded by countryside. But the residents we've spoken to tell a very different story. A young woman, who didn’t want to be identified, tells me that within weeks of moving...

My 1/2" jobby got put back in the box, lucky not to have gone out of the window, open or not. Spectacular lack of success/repeatability!

'H', Are you using the shed as a deep litter house or as a 'bedroom '?

I think the hypochlorite in bleach is quite fugitive, think Milton's baby bottle steriliser, you actually leave a faint whiff of it the sprogs bottle whereas Jeyes is compounded of aromatic heavy (ish) oils. It does give the paint a a grey/brown tinge. Back in the day it was added it to...

Both my houses were generously painted annually inside with white bathroom type emulsion paint mixed generously with Jeyes Fluid. No feather mites, mould etc.

JSW ..How do you use that formula, please?
