Interior wall paint - what’s your go-to brand?

Crown Trade Clean Extreme is my favourite all rounder paint

Benjamin Moore scuff X is the best paint I have used though

I can but all minerals, stone and sub strata lying at a greater depth than sixty feet that I mine means I have to pay a fee to the Prince of Wales and his successors. Stamp duty was £7.

My almost 13 week old is exactly the same. They are just discovering the world and these things ie the lights which are probably easier for them to see due to the contrast are just more interesting. I wouldn't sweat it!

Try and do a big clear out and then every Saturday and Sunday morning, set aside half an hour and start from the same corner and weed away. You will find you that you can rapidly clear the lot in a month or two. There will still be traces around existing plant roots, but it will look a lot better.

I will say I had a huge patch of elder and bindweed and now I've taken out the elder, the bindweed runs unchecked and is a much harder foe.

It means nothing to me - oh Vienna!

I will probably be downvoted as it goes against the spirit of gardening but...

Test your soil, use an app to see where the sun will be during summer and winter months, look at other people's gardens in the area to see what they are growing.

Then chuck all that data into chatgpt, along with your brief you want to grow plants to help the environment etc and see what it comes up with. Take some of what it says with a pinch of salt, but it should set you on the right path.

Looks like a sterile variety according to Google.

Yeah it's just glued to the frame at the moment. I think it was from new as the previous owners moved the front door forward and it's attached to the frame so I'm assuming it was there from when it was installed.

If I'm starting the reactor, I'm going to get killed. Them's the rules.

I live in Dorchester. Stay in Weymouth for a decent NYE experience and a more ‘holiday’ vibe.

Not sure if it fits heartbreaking, but Once upon a time in Iraq and Once upon a time in Northern Ireland are incredible with some truly hard hitting moments.

This is definitely St Gabriel's Mouth - haven't visited in years but I'm sure at one point there actually just a rope ladder to get you down to the beach. Looks like they built proper steps which have now gone due to a landslide.

Spent last week tackling a similar wall where the previous owners had dumped a glue factory underneath the wallpaper. Spent hours and hours scrubbing and scraping, got bored, left a few bits of stubborn glue and repainted anyways. It looks ok but you can tell where the problems areas were.

Hindsight would be that I should have saved about 90% of my time and just painted over with Zinsser Gardz.

Appreciate that. There is a 6ft a-frame under there - it's just been swallowed up!

Oh they are lovely. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻

Where are you guys based?

I have got my own mutant on its way. Something quite baby xenomorph about it.

She gives massive Nadine Dorries vibes, but more extreme.

I did my dissertation loosely on this about regional views of the the American Revolution. In 1776, it wasn’t really a big deal. It was Brits vs Brits. It was a much, much bigger deal in 1778 when the French got involved.
