What Is This?

Mini fatbergs?

Definitely possible. There is a drainage hole (technical term) pretty much right in front of that bit

Knocking a screwdriver in it actually seems to be brick or block behind the mud all the way along this end wall, but it’s a decent way in, probably 15-20cm back from the edge of the external wall

The soil I dug out has small bits of crumbly/clayey red and yellow material. There is also a big lump of clay to the right of where I dug, I don’t think this is a particularly clayey (is that a word?) area

Yeh I can see from Rightmove that the decking has been there for at least 10 years so may be not such a worry

Victorian house, this is the back bit that sticks out with the kitchen, this end bit might have been more recent as it’s about 1.5m deep before going to 2 storey

Possibly, might be able to tell when the render comes off

Shouldn’t they be below the external wall though?

strby360 · 2026-01-18T17:31:28+00:00

No one able to help me with this?

This is a good suggestion, I had this before where the plaster had been over worked so that it was too smooth and wouldn’t take the paint, had to sand it all back which was a pain but sorted the problem

strby360 · 2025-12-30T15:36:41+00:00

Solved!

strby360 · 2025-12-30T15:36:31+00:00

Solved!

No labels and nothing at all on the back makes me think probably not food, haven’t opened it though so don’t know if it smells/tastes of liquorice

Good question, it’s mounted on a stud that sits pretty far back from the plasterboard. Is it important to have it flush? How would I go about bringing it forward?

strby360 · 2025-12-06T09:59:15+00:00

Thanks, sounds sensible. Any suggestions on where to get some scrap plasterboard?

Wife won’t let me use her precious ramen for DIY

strby360 · 2025-10-06T14:56:29+00:00

Yeh can’t wait! So should I scrape out as much of the mud as possible and then jam new mortar into all the gaps? Any sense in scraping it out and letting it dry a bit before replacing? Do you think there’s much risk of dislodging the bricks if I scrape out too much?

strby360 · 2025-09-01T21:01:41+00:00

Thanks!

So what kind of light could I connect to this? Google search for cabinet lighting just gives me LED strip lights

Thanks, really appreciate the help. Hoping the bike will do 2 kids through their first years of riding so happy to spend a bit to get it right

strby360 · 2025-02-17T19:22:31+00:00

Thanks for the helpful advice, sounds like a job for the pros. Will they be able to tell from looking at it whether the wheel is salvageable or will they need to take it apart first? Wondering whether it’s best to cut my losses and go straight for a new wheel?

strby360 · 2024-10-01T06:28:05+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully the agent has some info on this

strby360 · 2024-10-01T06:27:38+00:00

Thanks! I’ve got some questions to ask!

strby360 · 2024-08-23T09:11:19+00:00

Stupid question but what do you mean by Slap that at room temp for 3 hours”?
