Romex downside

[wilf]

Having done quite a few jobs now with romex (rompox easy) the only disappointment i ve had is seeing how quickly the joints get dirty from rain water due to its permeable nature. wondering if using a sealant will help prevent this. having said all this Ill never go back to pointing with sand and cement LIKE GARLIC BREAD ITS THE FUTURE

cheers wilf

I met with the distributor's main representative in Norn Iron last week and there are still huge, unresolved supply and distribution problems for Britain, I'm afraid. Even worse, there's little prospect of any significant improvement because said rep is ill and unable to spend enough time in Ireland, let alone Britain, which is why there are growing supply problems over there, now.

I had hoped to speak to "Mr Romex" himself at the annual summer garden party taking place in Germany this weekend, but time pressures make it impossible for me to travel out there just at the moment. However, I will be speaking with him before the Glee bash in just 3 weeks time, and I hope to get some definitive clarification of the plans for the British market no later than then.

As soon as I know owt, I'll post it here.
