    This stuff has completely destroyed the lawn. The entire patch where used is now black. There was a lot of moss, so I know a lot of the black is the dead moss. But one week later, moss raked out and grass still black. I used this to just improve the grass before I left the tenancy. Now I’m likely to be billed for an entire new lawn 🙁

  • @michaelchristie2536
    @michaelchristie2536 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How about treating the outside first to stop penetrating damp, you did not state if external issues were evident and if issues were rectified. You’re tanking system/instructions are not the best, possibly rubbish, you do not tank on top of a crack or fill to the surface internal render/plaster crack, bollocks. External render/pointing repair required 1st including seals to door/window frames to elimanate water penetration/ingress, an external water seal would also be advised if possible. The internal plaster would be advised to be rmoved if issues persist and a tanking slurry salt retarding render/skim coat applied to the affected areas.

    • @sionhughes5543
      @sionhughes5543 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The simple answer is yes you could use a hand plane and just keep shaping the profile until it was round or 40 grit sandpaper as you suggested although as I’m sure you will imagine the uniformity of the bullnose will be directly proportional to the consistency of your sanding

    If there is no offset on the blade tip, then this will work. I personally have never seen a blade of that nature. For those that have carbide (or othe), raise the blade all the way up and use a dial gage and purchase a freud 10" calbration and sand disk combination. (Item number CD010)

    I just got the K5 but think slightly swindled by the description "K5 Power Control" as they now do one with a cheaper lance which just shows the pressure and does not control the output pressure, you need to use a tool with variable flow rate to adjust the pressure. It even looks like it has four buttons. To get the one now with the LCD control on the lance you need the "Premium" version which now includes the hose on a reel.

    Nicely described. I find that this is necessary every year or two. After cleaning it is also a good idea to 'feed the wood' with teak oil. This enhances the look. If you do it every year, and don't mind the roughness too much, it is not necessary to sand it. Pressure washing alone is enough unless you want a 'like new' look. After all, it is GARDEN furniture, not living room furniture!

I try to use the fence every chance I get and unless I'm not making a through cut like a dado i always have the riving knife installed. I had a kickback once that was so strong it went into the wall and knocked a piece of the outside siding off. And after I got married my wife would kill me if she knew I didn't use something on it.
