I have inherited a shed made of cast (or moulded, whatever the word is)
concrete for the lower walls on which the rest is built of wood. (It

and I need to replace it. How can I attach the new wood to the
concrete? I could use screws--those things that expand against the hole
they are in when an internal screw is tightened--but that will leave a
crack 'twixt concrete and wood where the rain might get in. So I need
(I think) an adhesive cum sealant. Any suggestions?



you could use resin fixings, no risk of cracking concrete and hole is
fully filled


Excuse my ignorance, but I've never heard of resin fixings.
