i have a concrete shed out back which im putting a freezer in its about 5ft x 3ft

i use to have it as an ordinary shed with paint oil etc ,

so i have took it apart scrubbed it , i had a problem with the door frame which was rotten and a lot of woodlouse and those ugly skinny spiders , i am getting a new door and frame,
so i have took it apart scrubbed it , i have since used masonary paint on walls and ceiling and polybond on floor

i was going to put Lino on the ground and newspaper under the lino ,

someone said it will only get damp and mouldy so im just wondering , is there anything else i should use to stop the spiders woodlouse etc and what would u put on floor

1st thing is to get rid of all the rotten wood and make it secure.

Spiders are a little more tricky, but the odd one or two shouldn't really cause concern.

Quarry tiles are good for outhouses. certainly a good way to chuck a bucket with disinfectant around for cleaning.

Stick one on edge as a skirting all the way round.

I Messed up

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I put floor tiles down a while ago and decided to do it again in a shed nwith a concrete floor, so i went to homebase asked the chap for the tiles for floor and the Tile Cement, then i realised i had messed up.

i started off great but when it came to cutting them i was ok for two then it went pear shaped, everytime i tried to cut it it would break, i got so fed up i decided to make a mosaic effort of all the bits, then i didnt have enough Tile Cement so i had to leave one tile out


on hindside i have just realised that the floor should have been levelled as it has a few high bits which i didnt realise,and i now think the Tile stuff he gave me is only for grout and not for laying tiles oh godddddddddddd this is the product he gave me in picture.

Can you recommend a grout that i can use as i havent grouted tiles yet ?
have i ruined it only good thing is i will have a freezer over it and a press so there wont be much floor showing aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Not a clue when it comes to tiling, best to ask in the tiling forum.
