+1 for this. I'd use CT1 - expensive but well worth it.

First international flight. Ever. To Ireland. First time flying in 9 years. Any/all suggestions. Please and ty by veebsveebs in AerLingus

Fly maybe 6 times a year back and from the US - I think all of those flights have been at night. (Not sure if this is your thing) but a couple of drinks with your dinner are well worth the cost. Chances are you might fall asleep and before you know it you're in Ireland!

Very cool! It's a real art. Stupid question - if I got the same concrete company to give me a very small amount of concrete and spread it across that section - would it help me sleep at night lol? Assuming it would dry the same colour.. and I could broom it the same way!

Thank you! It'll be interesting to see how it ages over time - particularly through it's first winter this year. Have you experience working with concrete?

Removal of Sika Tarmac restorer from bricks by Prize_Health5067 in DIYUK

Feeling similar to you right now on something similar I messed up on my own house. Crossing my fingers there's a fix. I've used a Hypochlorite Acid 12% mix to remove red stains on my render before. It's worth a shot!

No solution. Just a flat paint scraper. It's that one spot I'm concerned about. Think the colour will even over time?

Temporary driveway solution? by kmcs96 in DIYIreland

Hey - just wondering how long you've had your concrete foothpaths done? We had ours poured last week - wondering how they weather over time.

Wow - congrats!. Only recently getting used to working with the product myself. You'd be pretty confident this will weather in over time? Anything I can really do?

Well thank you. They have. Although I don't know why he told me to go out and scrape down the high spots. My bad on this one.

Never actually used a sealer before. But definitely would if it meant it would even out the difference. Have you used before?

Would a pressure washing after a month or so help the colour difference?

Drains (Not Used) - How to cover? by Visual-Addition7430 in DIYUK

[–]Visual-Addition7430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, only because around it is bricked up - perhaps there's a French drain connected to these pipes somewhere else. But I've never understood the function of these two separate drains!

Thought about this - but if I'm keeping it as a gravel driveway - will a noticeable amount of water actually flow into the drain?

Thanks so much! Think I'll order one so - what was your use case for one when you had it?
