    marmorino fine lime top coat -- getting an even, satin sheen

    What marmorino effect are you after? The way I was taught was a very quick and easy application, leaving hollows in the top coat for a rough marble effect, not like a traditional venetian. On all of these finishes a 5" trowel was used.

    Sciatica nightmare !!

    I'd book in for an MRI scan mate. I had it really bad years ago. Chiropractor made it 10 times worse (and very dangerous it turned out). Couldn't drive or sit...awful. Turned out (after an MRI) to be a bulging disc and had to have it removed. That was 20 years ago been fine ever since. Nowadays...

    Becoming a lecturer

    Lecturer is just cl;assroom based, no practical hands on teaching. Teacher is practical. The guy who was at the college I looked at was a teacher and he wouldn't do the lecturing side, which is what they wanted.

    Becoming a lecturer

    All that and more. The courses I had to do for teaching didn't teach you how to teach (if that makes sense). They taught you how to be inclusive and pander to whims :oops: Beware...a plastering lecturer is a lot different to a plastering teacher too. I know for a fact one college I went for a...

    Applying for jobs

    Got a lot of promises from agencies which looked good (moneywise), but was really close to getting a lecturing job at Barnsley college only to be told the money would be FAR less than I was expecting. I've not been clever with money like a lot on here have so just couldn't afford the income...

    E bike

    I got one of these second hand: Emovement Thor It's awesome and has the added benefit of a throttle (which you're not supposed to use on the road wink wink) I drop me tools off on the job when starting then just bike to work now.

    Is 5cm cement render too thick and heavy?

    My experience is that mono peels off when you're trying to apply it if the rendaid hasn't had at least 48 hours to dry. Last time I did it was a couple of summers ago on a mates house. Only 7m of mono but I threw my tools in the skip afterwards in a rage :ROFLMAO:

    Sabotage help please!

    It's done. He won't accept a redo. Scaffold is down monday because neighbours are screwing. It's just an unfortunate event that has caused me a lot of anxiety because I like to leave a perfect job. Stop being pedantic.
