Thanks Maggie Did try to remove one of the duplicate posts but wasnt sure how to do it. Thanks everyone for all your advice. I think I will go for the systemic roundup weedkiller before I plant up the borders, leave them for a few weeks make sure the weedkiller has degraded and then finger crossed i...

Yup.... the dreaded couch..... Moved into a cottage nearly 12 months ago and its now time to start tackling the garden which has been left to do its "thang".... for 20 years or so from the previous owners with zero maintenance! The borders which once I believe were simply beautiful have be...

Hi Healer Yes this response has been extremely useful. Before second coating it I did give the windows a very light go over with a fine wire wool which I then wiped off with a clean dry soft cloth. Chances are I would guess this is what could have possibly kickstarted the reaction. The plan is to sa...

Many thanks There are no steel pins/fixings etc where the staining has occured whatsoever. I can only see pins right at the top of the window under the arch and this area of the windows is fine. The back 2 upstairs windows, the first floor landing window and the front door have no stains whatsoever ...

Hi Ive just had my new solid oak windows and door fitted. They have a base and top coat of Osmo Polyx oil UV 420 applied. They were fitted 3 weeks ago and on Tues we had torrential rains all day and night. Yesterday when I came home I was mortified to find the sills and georgian bar have leached wha...

Hi my hen is laying really poor eggs. She doesnt lay every day but when she does the shells are quite thin, particularly at the top of the egg, almost paper like, so they smash very easily which leaves a very messy nest box. She is totally free range has the run of our garden and my neighbour's gard...

Hi Just bought a lovely old cottage in the village of Maer, Staffordshire. We're in the process of bringing it back to its former glory and want to replace its currentl old and past it oak windows with new double glazed argon filled solid oak windows. We originally looked at the laminated oak option...

Hi Ian I was wondering if you could at all help. Last year my husband and I adopted 3 ex battery chickens from the BHWT in Coventry. Unfortunately one of the girls (Flo) has turned out to be a constant bully. Prior to separation we tried different approaches to stop the pecking by using purple spray...

Dotty our rescue warren sadly passed away yesterday. She'd always been the "runt" one out of the three and the last month or two we noticed she'd been having her good and bad days. We thought perhaps she was going through her moult. We gave her some garlic, honey and sage in her water and ...

I purchased some brown leather boots last year and got caught out in the rain so now theyve got horrible water stains on them. I tried polishing them but as I thought, it hasnt made any difference.

Does anyone know of a way that I can remove the stains?

Thanks

Hi
Well theyve all been treated to the garlic sage and honey brew.

She seems brighter moving and eating now but shes still not her usual self, her head being still tucked in.

Could it be part of the moulting process that she feels a little under the weather?

thanks

Hi My otherhalf sells ASHP's as well all the other renewables. He reckons as advised above insulate everywhere as much as possible, then do it again. Likely that a heat pump will be drawing quite a bit of power for long periods of time. A correctly specified system should be able to run for as long ...

Thanks very much for your help. I will check out the links. Her comb is nice and red not pale or purple. My other half crushed up some peanuts and museli this morning and shes eaten most of the museli. I will have a go with the garlic sage and honey tonight when I get home. How much of each do I nee...

Hi One of my exbattery chooks is unwell. Noticed it this morning. Shes not her usual spritely self. Tail varies from up and down, shes not scratching about and is quite slow and lethargic when shes walking around, her neck is tucked in. Ive noticed shes drinking an awful lot, but havent seen her eat...
