Fitted the new washing machine today.
No issues just need to cut down the plinth and the old one was integrated.

Added to my list of things to buy. Our patio gets little to no sun in winter and ends up a green and slippery death trap. I'll probably jet wash it still to clean it up nicely before applying this.
Ours is the same - I didn't jet wash because the house drains onto our neighbours (a courtesy my neighbour didn't offer and flooded my workshop!). It was thick with moss and other crap; the patio magic went on and it just progressively got clean and turned to dust. Took a while and I wasn't waiting for it to happen, but for sure looks night and day compared to before.
Post here of before/after:
Pressure washer recommendations
Looking at buying a pressure washer to clean the block paving, decking and the car. Looks like you can spend as little as £60 or as much as several hundred. Not sure where the sweet spot is or the must have features. Any suggestions?

Edit: and I promise, not a single bit of mechanical/jet washing.

Interested in seeing how it holds up, I'm going to spray some as soon as the weather improves!

I think Christmas eve I put some leveller down but I should have used the 2bags there is as there is some gaps /voids and not level. I've primered it again 3times and going to put more leveller on it so it's easier to tile

Get even longer if you don't pick her up
.She only works up the road and takes a key, so no hope. She'll also not let me forget itGet even longer if you don't pick her up
Think the durgo in the loft is faulty so I’ve just removed it and I’m off to Screwfix. Also gets me away from the wife and child for an hour.
Edit fitted and I think it's solved the issue.
Will see in the morning if the en suite smells like a sewer.

Bought this butcher block months ago but having a 5 month old has meant I don't have a lot of spare time. Finally cut it and placed it into it's new home in my wife's office (currently also baby room).
I need to take it back outside for a sanding and oiling when the weather lets me, I could do it in the garage but it takes up most of the space at 2800mm long. Also skirting boards will be installed at some point.
