    Winter woes

    I can say I am brave , but today was beyond a joke tbh. What was I thinking taking the machine out after -8-10’C , I have no idea. Hoses frozen, machine frozen , water float frozen , although machine drained very well..... After few hours and defrosting everything on the gene we managed to get...

    Blocked foam tubes

    Here is how to reuse them again. Twist the tube several times. Insert the screw and pull. Works the same way when you try the same day without the screw. Just pull the foam and it comes away .

    Ever now and again

    We have the hot potato “how to ....RSJ”. Well I couldn’t do it the usual way with the hilti gun , the rsj were slightly twisted and all it did was breaking the boards, so had to approach it differently . Another way if you are stuck.

    Not surprised really

    as expected- prise will rise after brexit, but I don’t know why they used it after the vote, now and till it actually happens while we are still in the eu. It’s pathetic actually that the government don’t have a clue!!! @Vincey what are you thoughts on this? I remember not while ago you was...

    Just when you thought

    Russians have meddled with the US election it actually appeared it was the british and I bet also Theresa will be so sorry for jumping the gun with the Cripal case. Just when you thought Britain is getting its borders back, the government announces there won’t be border check on Calais. Just...

    Bauwer light

    It’s fairly new on the market and I haven’t come across decent info on how to use it and I think I have spent enough time with it to be able to do a honest review that can help others when using it for first time . First thing I would say it’s very weird product, something i haven’t came across...

    New vs old

    never stops to amaze me when I see the old grafters work. To manage perfect, if you can say that, square walls without all the posh tools we have nowadays is something I admire. I can’t tell the same for the majority new builds tbh. Hats off gents :tanguero:

    well, I have to admit since I started doing some domestic work I have seen things I have never imagined . That said, I need advice on how to tackle this brick work cos if it’s down to me I’ll start from the foundation, but I am not a bricklayer and the customer is not very keen on that idea...

    Tricks & Tips for your Ritmo

    I found washing powder to be best to keep your Ritmo clean. Mix it in a bottle with h2o and some vinegar , apply after you have cleaned your Ritmo and leave it on . It will create protection next time you are using the machine and once sprayed water over it you’ll see all the dirt coming off...

    Next day

    is it the time now? Usually I wait until the temperatures drop below two figures at night. Few days ago a small wall I tested was on the border line . Have a big gable tomorrow to do and is 12-13 degrees with some wind which is a defo no for me. Won't be able to put it on early , most likely...

    Good way

    of doing your hoses . Have tried many ways- under, over , elbow, freehand etc, but think will stick with this one. Having both hand free allows you to turn it so no nasty twists and surprises when it comes to use it again.

The g forces are literally smashing...

    There is always first time!

    Don't know really where to start, but I guess from the beginning:rolleyes) Quoted a job to replace K rend with silicone finish. When I spoke to the customer I have been told the render is 3 years old and is falling apart :-0. Couldn't believe it until I saw it- the corners were wide open and...
