Hi everyone, I recently removed old wallpaper to find that the plaster was damp, however after around a week the plaster has dried out.

Marble effect painting

Hello all,

On a recent visit to Florence the hotel room I stayed in had a 'marble effect' paint scheme. Can this effect be achieved by a DIYist? Is it a difficult technique?

Any help anyone could give would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Upvc window too short

Hello everyone,

I don't know if this is in the right forum but here goes.

I recently bought a upvc window and due to a brain fart ordered it 10cm too narrow.

Is the situation retrievable or is it a new window?

Any help would be appreciated
