    Any Builders on here?

    Definitly condensation on the sandstone pillars, I imagine that before you foamed down the edge of the windows there was enough draft between the pillar and the wooden trim to stop condensation forming, is the room occupied?, if so I'll bet that you used to get lots of condensation forming on...

    Pallets have a code on them, HT means heat treated,to kill the bugs, so no chemicals, can't remember all the codes but you can find them online. Indian sandstone is very popular at the moment for patios, it often comes packed in hardwood pallets, bonus if you can find them. If you stack the...

    Varroha Brushing

    Absolutely not suggesting that, no more than Victor Meldrew was suggesting using sulphuric acid. The post drifted to contents of chimneys and what may be in them to kill mites, coal tar will kill mites, probably kill bees as well, but it will kill mites.

    Rab, I must be mis-understanding, I've tried but I'm still reading it the same way. Completely agree with your next paragraph though.
