  1. Read with interest the debate about using cement in lime motars. When pointing does anyone use a an applicator gum for putting motar into the joints or is it a hawk and trowel? What do you think?   Charles 1

  3. I placed an order for a pool in August 07 with a franchisee of a big national company. Paid the deposit then the pool parts were delivered in December 07. The terms of the contract required that I pay for the pool on delivery; the majority of the cost. Nothing then happened for weeks. I eventually heard for the company and arranged for the hole to be dug for the pool. A few more weeks went by then the bottom and sides of the pool were construted. That was back in March. Since then nothing has progressed. I had a argument with the company because they siad that the delay was caused by me not having backfilled the pool with stone which apparently was my responsibility, but when I arranged for the company to visit the site they said they were not ready for stones to be backfilled because some pipe work and electrical installations were necessary. The long and the short of it is that I have paid large sums of money but because of the way the contract is written  now have very little control or leverage to get the company to complete the work. Has anyone had similar experience?  I  have noticed with other supply and installation companies, like fitted kitchens, that the majority of payment is due on delivery rather than installation and completion. What is the solution? Charles 1
