Efflorescence treatment

Hi all,

I am looking to update the rear garden in my new home. I aim to paint the breeze blocks black and cover any facings of the breeze blocks with composite cladding before planting, decking and other stuff. Before I do this, I will need to tackle the efflorescence showing on the walls which looks pretty bad to me. How should I go about removing this and how do I prevent this from reoccurring in the future before I begin to paint (if this is even a good idea)?

I've only just recently moved so not sure when the previous owner had the walls installed or how long this has been showing. I'm also in Scotland where it rains almost every day if this info is of any use!

Noob looking for help

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently moved into a new house and got 2.5gbps internet through Sky (UK). Didn’t really need that high of a speed but the price difference was minimal and thought it might be beneficial for gaming.

The coverage throughout the house is terrible however and the previous owners have installed Ethernet cable ports throughout - 4 upstairs, 4 downstairs which I expect is due to them having the same issue.

My plan was to use the Ethernet cables to install a mesh system 1 upstairs and 2 downstairs as most come in a set of 3. I’d still like to use the other available cables for things like my PC, PS5 and work desktop.

The owners have taken their switch with them so I will need to buy one of those.

My questions are:

Am I doing the right things? Let me know if I’m missing any key information
For the switch, does the brand matter? I only seem to see unrecognised brands stating they have 2.5gbps, whilst the more recognised ones mention 10/100/1000 at double the price. Im assuming this means max 1gbps?

Could this walk-in cupboard be converted into a (albeit low) shower? What should I expect to pay?

As above, looking to see if anyone has any thoughts whether or not converting this to a walk-in tiled shower is possible and how much I would expect to pay? The slope is due to the bathroom being under the stairs and just the right side of the door is a brick wall.

Hi everyone,

We are moving into our new house soon and have no idea what we will eventually do with the back garden and what the possibilities are - I personally don’t like the tiers.

Would be keen to hear what ideas everyone else has and what you would do with it!
