- Need to cover a façade with lime. Should PVA be used as a binder?
My façade is highly absorbent of water. I think the water even passes through the wall (effectively a leak). I plan to render some lime on top of it. It’s the kind of lime that turns to chalk if it oxidizes over the span of a year. The stuff I have is about a year old, so I have to use it up anyway.
Should I “paint” a layer of PVA (wood glue) on the façade first to help bind the lime? Then should I mix some PVA in with the lime? Or would that choke off the breathability?
- Glad to find !homeimprovement@disflux.org -- what happened to !homeimprovement@lemmy.world?
The whole !homeimprovement@lemmy.world community is gone… out of the pure blue, all content and history vanished. WTF happened? Anyone know? This is seriously a grave weakness of #Lemmy.
That said, disflux.org has to be a better place. Smaller and free from Cloudflare.
- My bar build - floor isn't done yet
This project has taken so long, we started right around the start of the pandemic. We knocked down the wall and made this small area (about 8' x 8') that cuts into our unfinished utility room.
I still need to finish the flooring, and add some shelves to the back of the bar, but so far its coming along. I installed a 2 faucet beer tower that is fed from the other side of the wall.
