Brick walls
Defensive walls in fortifications
Permanent, solid fences
Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
Stone walls
Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)

    Soil pipe through tile hung wall

    I need to take a soil pipe through a vertical tile hung gable wall at my own house, does anyone know the best way of sealing it and making a good job of cutting the tiles? I wonder if there is a flashing of some sort on the market that might fit? Has anyone had to do this, if so what did you do?

    Sealing Back to Wall Pan

    The Boss wants me to seal the sides and top of the pan against the WC cabinet. Obviously I will seal around the base but I think sides and top will look rubbish. What do others think?
