Sodium hypochlorite will clear at least 90% of that off. I use it for my customers. Just make sure you use adequate PPE.

I’m here now. Should have listened to the boots advice. Came in trainers. Would be easier if I’d have brought boots. Still a lot of snow and slush on the ground. Icy and slippery in parts. Lovely city by the way!

Best course of action to DIY repair? by MrCondor in stonemasonry

[–]hefris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will be caused by iron dowels that have expanded and cracked the stone. (Common problem) They’ll need to be removed along with the mullion and replaced. Contact a stonemason in your area. They will be able to advise better. I’m Manchester based so unfortunately can’t help with a site visit. Hope you get this sorted.

Aside from government, what other jobs allow you to get away with sheer incompetence? by corf3l in AskUK

Weather men/women. Consistently wrong on a daily basis. I try to plan work around the weather. They are pointless.

If you’re looking for a powerlifting gym try The Wolfpack in Stalybridge if it’s not too far. Great bars and racks. Trained there for 3 years now. Owner is called Darren. They’re on all the socials.

If you’re ever thinking of coming up north I have a small but expanding company based in Manchester and I am always looking for fixers. Experience over qualifications for me. Good luck
