I bough 4X8 sheets of Plastex, I don't want to redo the drywall, ugh, can I put something on it to waterproof it before glueing on the Plastex?

It's sort of sem-thick but floppy white plastic sheets.
How best to cut this stuff?

I bought liquid nails tub surround glue, to I trowel that on?

Thank-you

You really need green board and it would probably be cheaper to replace the drywall than to use KIELTS sealant.

Over terrace concrete slab, we proposed to do waterproofing with 2coats of tapecrete acrylic polymer modified cementitous coating over prepared roof surface and plastering with CM 1:3 20mm tk and above that, 100mm tk 1:2:4 concrete finished with mechanical power trowelling with floor hardener. the terrace will be used for car parking. Is it acceptable to sandwich plastering in between concrete?

Ok, I have a 9 year Pitty/Lab mix that has managed to break 2 ropes in two weeks. Her issue used to be pulling the stake out of the ground until I got one of those really long, straight stakes with the trowel-like blade at the bottom. that was 3 years ago and she hasn't had a problem until recently.

The first rope wasn't that great but the second was plastic-coated cable that our friend used to use for his Mastiff. Maybe it was damaged or weak? We have a fence but Pitties are escape artists and a fence it just a joke to them. she can jump a 6 foot fence in one try!

She is an INDOOR dog but loves to spend a few HOURS per day outside in the sun. It gives her a break from the cat who lives to torment her by sneaking up behind her and whacking her tail.

PLEASE: do not respond is you are gonna be negative and make comments about not tying dogs out!

She is a truly beloved member of our family who is spoiled on a regular basis and has a wonderful temperament (except with squirrels) and loves her outdoor-time. she even barks at the door when she wants to go out. she has "outside toys" that she plays with as well.

You could get a heavier chain and risk neck injury from the strain the weight causes. Seriously, if your dog is snapping a cable tie-out it's time to build a kennel or fence your yard.

Um, get a fence. There's no reason she needs to be tied down if she's only "out there for a few hours" which I don't believe. It's called: SUPERVISION.

New Mexico just passed a law saying it is illegal to stake or tie out a dog.

Most of the dogs here that were staked were pits & staking or tieing them out in the yard just makes most of their issue much worse. Training is far more effective & you will have a dog you can trust.

There are a lot of pits here due to the influx of Mexicans from Mexico. they, the law, break up fighting rings right & left here. It is all over the state. I think it is so funny to see a little man being pulled down the street by a pit bull on a logging chain.

If your dog is pulling out the stake, it could risk damage to his neck if you try sturdier chains. I would instead work on training him to stay inside his fenced-in yard. If he's escaping from the fenced-in area, he may be bored. You probably shouldn't put him out unless he is supervised, and when he tries to escape you can startle him by shaking a can of coins or calling his name so that he turns his attention to you and stops trying to escape. once this happens, you can praise him and give him a treat. Taking him on long walks once a day will satisfy his need to be outside as well. If you take him out for a long walk once or twice a day and then supervise him for maybe another hour, he won't need to be outside for multiple hours a day.

You can also think about getting a kennel with a roof so he can't jump over it. But really I think the main issue is him being bored if he's trying so hard to escape.
