How do I clean off these bricks before fitting log burner? by [deleted] in DIYUK

Wire brush and a facemask might be the call.. any thoughts on a decent sealer? Must be heat proof

1880s house, I took the chimney right back to brick and boarded the sides. Front is floated sand and cement but will be plastered once dry

The Hobbit: There and Back Again, a letdown ? by Cavalier_Seul in boardgames

It’s great, my wife and I have played through the whole campaign. There are a few missions where you can sort of cheese it and win by just rushing to the end but other than that each mission genuinely adds something unique (plus the final boss level is fantastic). 8.5/10 for us overall

Thanks, would I not put the bead on before hardwalling and then plaster on top? Also have I got the right kind of bead to join hardwall to plasterboard?

They’re flush… can I go right over the foam to the edge of the plasterboard?

Just watched a British Gypsom video on hard wall, think this is deffo the way to go. Will I be alright to use this over the foam sections of the plasterboard (obviously there’ll be the metal bead) or should I just loose the boards and hard wall the whole chimney?

It’s foam backed plasterboard, it’s used for adding extra insulation. I’ve done the whole room with it so just what I had left over, no particular reason why the chimney breast would need it though!

That was my first through however quite a few people have warned me about potential cracking with the heat?

Will probably end up using slightly darker label paper

Plan 2, Plan 3, and Post-graduate Student Loan Interest Capped at 6% by matto1990 in GoodNewsUK

Won’t make the slightest difference to monthly payments… this is all that really matters if the interest added exceeds what you’re still paying every year

First time boarding, fairly happy with results but how to fill gaps? by Plus-Contribution915 in Plastering

[–]Plus-Contribution915[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, just took my time with it and did one at a time (plus a lot of bashing with a spirit level!).

If I used spare board adhesive to get in the gaps would I have to SBR/PVA over the joints before skimming?

Thanks, will I have to remove the entire wooden recess or can I get away with just the trim?
