    Finish on render??

    What exactly were you expecting? It looks fine to me. Paint it with a masonry paint......it’ll look fabulous. Or did you expect us all to slag it off and give you ammunition to aggravate a probably hard working family man just trying to make a living?

    Oh for Christ’s sake...........pfffft...... Get a spade and dig off all that dirt that’s piled up on it, cut a window in the far end so you can ventilate it nicely. Drain water into a soak away. There.

    My cure for depression......cheer up! Seriously though, if you can have no impact upon a situation no matter what you do, then worrying about it will do no-one any good. A positive mental attitude might not be of much help, but having one makes life more bearable. All the best. Dropsalot.
