Deere-est Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 you could allways try paper and an iron to get the worst off Iron on the paper to the bitumen The heat of the iron softens the bitumen and it sticks to the paper then pull it away May be worth a try \ I will try that, Scott. Sounds like a cunning plan does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 just dont light the fire to dry it out quicker if you use unleaded ;D or it may be drier than required, pertrol would evaporate as such once used so i doubt much would be left on the wall , as for outside, depending on how many layers of paint are already on, once you get a hole it may well peel of like wallpaper, just a good wide paint scrape under it , i did strip a exterior wall like that at my nans old farm with my brother, had damp under it seeing as it was the north facing one, it took the worst of the weather and bar a few small bits which required the cup, it came of easier than we thought Not as easy as that with the scraper mate in the outside. Typical old wall, not very even, mortar joints etc.... won't be easy scraping I can see. Going to be a case of elbow grease and cider I think! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Bit of cleaning out this morning. Got to do it the old fashioned way with elbow grease and only use the tractor to scrape it away. This is before: And after: End result: Bit eaiser this afternoon. Normal jobs and then probably watch England in the Six Nations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Just joined the queue for fuel at Sainsburys in Frome after a visit to the model shop. Home next to hopefully finish the shelves and hanging frame in the shed in time to watch the rugby. May even try Scotts tip on that damned tanking later on inbetween working on the model beef shed and another secret project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 o deere tris you do have a problem there mate the tanking was proberbly put on to stop water geting in from the outside and they may have done both sides as well it wont come off as it will have penatrated in to the blocks you might try dot and dab plaster board leaveing a slight air gap or you will have to cover the wall in expandid metal so the plaster sticks to that as for the lime bit not sure ? for the out side try a heat gun hpe all gose well steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers matey. The exterior has not been tanked though thankfully. We know why it was done and can now see (before seeing the tanking was even there) why it is a bad idea to do this kind of stuff to an old house. It's criminal it was even suggested really!

PDC Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 We have had a cracking day here in Suffolk, me and the missus drove to Shotley had a big breakfast at the sailing club there, then she drove home and i walked home along the river Orwell.I managed the 13 odd miles in under 4 hours with a quick pit stop (for a pint of Adnams ) at Pin Mill. A few pictures I took along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Spent a good chunk of the day at my godfather & godmother's home in Herefordshire for a walk around their property and lunch at the Live and Let Live pub. Alongside his David Brown 995, he has a rather tidy and fully restored Cropmaster in his barn, attached to an original DB 2-furrow plough. Too wet to take either for a spin mind Kind bloke that he is, he also lent me three of his "Fergie on the Farm" DVDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
