The hose on my water butt has been permanently attached to the drain for monthsAlchemilla wrote: »Water butt done. I shall now rejoice whenever it rains. Which is every day here.
. Possibly may undo it today and let butt fill ready for spring :T. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Gallygirl ponyplops would drink that for you. She is getting through 20 litres a day!
Hurdler I am going to clean it then spray with anti mouldspray which i think Gally recommended. Already have dehumidifier going. I am fully expecting to have to re paint it later since i think tbe spray will take the paint off.0 -

Agree I think I need a repaint job too (sigh - realised on my way down to Old Mother hurdler' house that the car is in for body work when it goes for it's MOT in March) - could I trouble you or Gallygirl to PM me the name of the spray.
The dehumidifier doesn't seem to be garnering much water when I run it - which I guess is good?- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

I think how much water you collect depends on the humidity setting as well as the actual humidity. Sounds like good news though.
I am very divided on the topic of damp.
I can't decide who or what to believe.

Hahah the woman in the local hardware store will be happy then. I popped in there the other day to buy a small bottle of Zoflora disinfectant for a niffy bin and she was HELL BENT on selling me this brand of bin deodoriser at about a gazillion pounds more than the £1.40 I paid for the concentrated diddy bottle!
I might have to check of they have it in Mr T up the road from my mum's this weekend instead! I know what you mean about damp - I mentioned it to my neighbour in passing and you would think that I had developed the bubonic plague in my living room, but builder was all "yeah that's fine no bother"

Well being a kinaesthetic learner I cleaned the mould off before reading the instructions. It says DONT clean the mould off. First application on. Window open. Would not use this stuff if i was asthmatic.
Fence is also fixed. Hazel hurdles look lovely but they make a hell of a mess when they collapse.0 -
Just had a pm from someone called ddilips and when i tried to reply, the error msg said there was no such user. Weird.0
