....I think I have done enough DIY for today.
I had to do a long (10 + a bit foot) cut by hand to trim a scaffold board to fit the wall's contours.
By the time the cut was done I had a case of "carpenter's nipple" LOL
I packed the board as needed to be level with the inner skin of dot & dab attached plasterboard.
I tried to drill & fix directly to the underlying brickwork, but no, all the top row of the wall is either hollow bricks or breezeblock so no fixings would take.
In the end I put more packing under the board and pocket-screwed it to the scaffold boards of the wall behind.
Its on there, it isn't structural so stuff-it! Herself has not complained even though I told her I thought it was awful. So I will call it a win.

I've got some of that and I accidentally sprayed too close to me lawn once ... it's seriously good stuff, you just need to be careful were it gets sprayed.

"Sausage"? I could think of a few choice words to replace that with!!....that I had to chuckle. Wifey lets her brother (the useless BIL) know what we are going to be doing to get his mother's toilet fixed and to provide a new quarter-turn taps on her basin, a working shower AND fix the Economy 7 Immersion heater he tried and failed to fix 2 years ago.
He is "surprised" that we (the one's who are actually bothering to turn up and do something for his Mum, rather than just sit at home feeling sorry for ourselves) are not also fitting a new shower-tray and a new enclosure as well.
She's 92, and hates "change" and struggles to cope with new things, so we are trying to be minimally invasive so she gets simple fixes and minimal disruption.
The Cheeky Sausage.
