Do It Yourself (DIY) - October 2006

I patched my gunite pool with putty, but the spots look bad because the patch color doesn't match the surface color. The pool is speckled blue while the patch is off white. Is there anything I can do?

I'm going to redrywall some rooms in my house that all have outside walls, so I figured that while I'm in there, I might as well replace the insulation.. now, I have a few questions.. what is the best insulation to use on an outside wall? Standard pink/fiberglass inulation, blown insulation.. or is there something else that's better.. also, do you always have to have a vapor barrier on an outside wall, or is that only in the bathroom and kitchen.. where there's lots of moisture? Right now, there isn't a vapor barrier, so should I put one in since I'm going to do the insulation and drywall or is it uneccessary?

Is installing drywall really that hard? It seems to me that it's pretty simple. Measure the walls, buy the drywall, and instal.. I know there's fine print there, ( cut out holes for outlets and windows.. blah blah) but really.. it's not that hard is it?

I'm only asking because I want to redo a few rooms in my house. It's an old house, and it's old 'latice and mortar' walls.. and I would like to update it with current drywall. I want to do it myself because it doesn't look that difficult.. but I could be mistaken, lots of things look easier than they really are.

It seems too stiff, do you need to soften it like clay and apply it by hand? Also, do you need to apply it to every fitting when replacing a sink and faucet?

I have a garden office at end of 100 ft garden. Can I just run a normal phone extension lead, or should I get a special lead, similar to armoured cable used for the electric feed. Do BT offer such a service, I asked but she didnt seem to know what she was talking about!l

Ive never really painted a wall in my own home. I want to paint every room in my house. It feels overwhelming. Is it easy? Id have to remove alot of things, tape up the windows, etc. Will paint splatter over my glasses? I sound dumb but give me tips. Thanks.

We are seriously thinking of starting the construction asap. Also, we are not from Bangalore which makes it a little difficult in conversing with the locals.

(1) What i wanted to know is regarding the buliders or contractors who undertake the construction of personal houses. Names and the contact numbers of at least some of them.

(2) Would be really beneficial if i could also know the entire process. I mean how much does the cost normally come to (just a rough figure) and what are the terms normally like.

(3) If someone has already been through this before procedure, please do let me know your experience.

Would be really thankful if i could get some clues.

Regards,
Sajal

I just moved in and the walls are unfinished.
What do I start with because I want to paint it, but it looks like concrete or something (white and uneven)?

It seems complicated to remove it and then put new wallpaper on (I just moved in and it looks faded and yellowed), so I was considering just painting over it.
Is this a good idea and what kind of paint should I use?
