Good guide here: https://www.celticsustainables.co.uk/blog/bag-rubbed-lime-render-finish/

A wire brush might be good to get that paint off. Could look really good and make a nice feature.

Indeed, forgot to say that lime can cause chemical burns to skin, eyes etc. If you're using it in powder form then a mask too.

Don't know where you are but this place comes recommended. A couple of neighbours have used them. I think it was about £90/m3. In Swanley (so on our doorstep). You only pay for what you use. https://www.gillreadymixconcrete.co.uk/

I'd forget using ordinary Portland cement and use proper lime mortar. It's what it will likely have been built with if original. A 25kg bag of the stuff is peanuts (like <£10) but the carriage will kill you and you'll start whining about it on here. Now then, it's coming up to Christmas in the middle of a pandemic and people are stressed. They'll give short shrift to any moaning ? As for waste, live with it, it's a piddly ar$ed little job. This place does ready mixed lime mortar which will I'm sure be music to your ears, plus it's in Wales. Not sure how close to you. Give them a ring with your requirements and explain the area you have to repoint. Again carriage might up the cost. Maybe a road trip as restrictions allow and you might pick up some tips whilst you're there. https://www.celticsustainables.co.uk/ready-mixed-coarse-lime-mortar-clm28/ Celtic Sustainables are 44 miles from you btw.

You know it's like saying Beetlejuice three times?

Peter Sarstedt was my first thought...more the "when you're alone in your bed" line...

Donatien Alphonse François perhaps?

Just beware of smiley faced landlords on here offering you a tour of their basement!

Jay Cartwright or what!

So two layers of defence? Do the GRP detail well which should stand on it's own. The lead for aesthetics and as a practical drain on top?

"PHE demands are such that things get heated".

Depending on how many sockets you can go horizontal rather than dropping/back up/across, drilling through the studs between sockets.

If you've a mortgage on it then is it really your house?

Sounds a harsh woman to please! When I did my bathroom..... Main slab - Feb 2016 Wet room corner slab - April 2018 Tiling started - August 2018 ?

Slip you what?

+1. The guy who invented it, Noel, is a pleasure to deal with. I bought a kit years ago and instead of the advertised Marshall trowel it came with a Rolson copy. I emailed him and got a Marshall trowel plus a couple more of his brilliant string line holders and pointing tool. A personal email from him too.

I Googled "box parapet gutter section". Then clicked on "Images". Got a lot more section details than "abutment gutter section", tbh very similar. (Instead of a parapet you have a gable end). Main things seems to be having a fall created by packers. The flashing needs to go up the wall by 150mm then tuck in an angled slit. Interesting some use a sheet of EPDM instead of lead. https://www.google.com/search?q=box+parapet+gutter+section&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwia5LfytYvtAhVBYxoKHWDjDv4Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=box+parapet+gutter+section&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoECCMQJzoECAAQQzoCCAA6BggAEAcQHjoECAAQDToECB4QClDnzQFY7v8BYP-HAmgAcAB4AIABtAGIAbcXkgEEMC4yMJgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=KLm0X5qwLcHGaeDGu_AP&bih=512&biw=360&client=ms-android-motorola&prmd=isvn Interesting comment here ref the exit, how the front edge projects and is always lower than the sides: https://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/rainwater/rainwater.htm

Geberit it ain't.

You can step your damp course to achieve 150mm DPM above the external ground level. A French drain is an option too if you can't make 150mm.

I wonder if I'd be better with the WC-CON1... Probably overthinking it but irrespective of the angle, the section behind where I'm pointing will fill up with "stuff":

Bloke had some gaul.

Any problem with this pan connector detail: Surely where I'm pointing with the pen is going to fill up with "stuff"?

Fail! ? "Do thermal stores sell Toolstations?" Just doesn't work does it?

Can you think of a sentence where the two abbreviations are interchangeable?
