just jumped about 15 pages so apologies if something similar has come up recently:
Two small windows either side of the outer front door. It's just an enclosed porch, the external wall and proper door are to the inside. Both bottom frames are rotten on the outside - seem to be a size and profile that looks like "door stop" - can't find hardwood beading in the right size, or bigger bits to shape down (the windows are only a few inches wide). So thinking to get the softwood moulding, and apply wood hardener on all sides after cutting to size - I'd bought it when I thought I could patch the frames... then paint. Is that likely to bring any benefit? It just needs to be good enough, they're not wonderful windows but I'd like them to not totally disintegrate. I'd plane the top a bit so it slopes too.
What is the protocol with skips? Neighbours who we don't know, across the road and along a bit, have a skip - they're redoing the rendered front. It doesn't look like they're going to fill it. I want to ask if it's ok to put some of our garden rubble in it. But the garden rubble is partly stony soil. Does that make a difference? Is skip general rubbly waste treated differently if it has soil/organic material in it? Is it a small favour to ask?
