You can get various wood hardener solutions for painting on wood that's started to go a bit soft but isn't quite rotten enough to merit replacement. I've used it a few times and it seems to work reasonably well. Now, what I'm about to say will be heresy to the good burghers of Landyzone, but one thing I've found that makes paint stick to exterior wood is to put gloss paint straight onto the wood. It's oily and soaks in and is thus very difficult to get off. Then start building up coats of primer and undercoat and final gloss finish. Primer and undercoat makes a kind of plastic skin which is all too easily lifted by the weather or the wood underneath breathing.

I've got some Zissner BIN stain block and it works really well. Cuts out all sorts of staining and discolouration seeping through from elderly Victorian plasters and rusty radiators.

Twas suggested to me by the S-i-l the buildery one. And we swear by it. It really is the dog's doodads in the world of wood prep. We use it when going from bare wood to white gloss. Stops you worrying about bleed through etc in pine with knots in. i.e. pine! The wife does all the gloss painting in our new place and she does an effin good job, bless her. Apart from a tiny bit of emulsion, it's all she's done, but she has done well. Oh and she varnished some skirting boards. ;):):):)

But provided he has got all this on fillum made by a third party, albeit one who may, just, be a friend, and she don't deny it. Then he could have bang to rights if the courts still look at this sort of thing.
Don't know now with "no fault divorce".
Also, at least in the old days, the "correspondent" could get stuck with court fees. At least so I was told by an ex-schoolmate who became a lawyer.
Anway, here's someone touting for business on the back of adultery and dealing possibly with correspondents.

Must admit, if I went back to work, it'd kill me in a week or two, ...........

Or I'd kill some kid!

Maybe this is a message from the dark side...........

"Retire and stay retired!;)
Glad you are getting looked after, that is a relief!!:):):)
 
Well, an eventful couple of days, without tinternet!:mad::mad::mad:
Can't fix my Disco's 3 amigos without it, as the Foxwell tends to indicate it is the shuttle valve and the work around is on here.
Now I'll have access to it again.
Weather has been very good, hot-ish during the days.
As many of you will know, wolves are now around lots of areas of France.
Some tw@tass of a tree-feckin vote-seeking, mispalced "animal lover" decided it'd be a good idea to reintroduce "native species" back into the wild.
So there are now bears in the Pyrénées, and wolves all over the shop. Even as far north as Normandy.
I was reading in the local rag that the nearest one to us was in the Vallée de la Thoré which isn't too far away.
But a neighbour says one has been seen on our road.:eek::eek::eek:.
Remember those animal paw prints I put up at the beginning of the month?
Here is an image off google

And here is one of the ones I took. snow wasn't as crips and the prints were older, but......
tracks3-jpg.262365

Especially the one on the left, kind of pentangular don't you think?
And very the feckin same!
For the first time in my life it makes me wish I had a twelve bore to ba able to protect our dogs and chickens.:mad::mad::mad:
