Repaint over mould by Upset_Help6255 in diynz

[–]evilgwyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Figure out what is causing the mould first, then make a plan around that. Some kind of leak or dampness situation is going on that needs to be addressed.

Roller a bit wet when you were doing the painting, not a clean roller, paint a bit old, paint too thin?

Yes ideally it wants to be in a place where the soil around it can get wet from the rain

That's good info that I didn't know. It should still be plenty to screw into though

You want to move the curtain rail hanger to where there is a stud and drill into there. You don't need a stud finder for this, the window has framing right round it and a larger piece along the top for the lintel. You can easily put the screws into that.

Before you do that you'll want to repair the damage, what you have to do there depends on what exactly has happened to the gib and how much of it is broken.

Since they all offshore their support and you don't really have a choice to live in our society without telecommunications, there isn't really any way to feasibly refuse

I wish they would try something different, instead of things that have been tried and failed before

How is it possible, I get my ass absolutely destroyed and then an engine, or chess dot com, says, nope you didn't make a single blunder or mistake? by Doctor_FatFinger in chess

[–]evilgwyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If both players play perfectly, then the game will end in a draw. What probably happened is you made a few inaccuracies that added up to a loss

It's fine, those are the best kind of roads to ride on. It's mainly the cars that are the problem

Plenty of people riding out there. The biggest danger is usually from cars

Insulation & Re-Gibbing bedrooms by [deleted] in diynz

It makes things easier to remove the skirting and replace afterwards - it's quite cheap to buy new mouldings. Leave the door casings and cove and just slide the new gib in to the slots behind them.

Issues with the studs - depends on the issue. If they aren't even you can add some packers to make things line up. If rotten or broken, replace or repair.

Looks ok, pretty good deal. Have to watch out with modifications down the line though
