    Plastering over fresh plaster

    Just do what you feel comfortable with, as the race is only with yourself so to speak. Don’t try and skim over bonding too early though. Just because it’s gone off doesn’t mean it’s ready for skim as you’ll get blebs, which are like large pimples that you’ll struggle to flatten. When it starts...

    Plastering over fresh plaster

    stick with it…it’s fine. It takes time to break a new trowel in and bigger doesn’t equal better when you’re a beginner.

    Plastering over fresh plaster

    Happened to me a couple of times and it ain’t nice tbh. The worst time was when I completely flooded my eye with plaster, so went to A and E as just round the corner. I think the clean up and the plastic gizmo they put in your eye is worse than the feeling of the plaster tbf. Most of the time...

    SBR Peeling off wall (substrate and old finish)

    Occasionally use it if walls are really porous but usually put on a couple of pissy coats followed by pva. Still has a bit of suction but nicely tamed.

    Asbestos concern

    Well, not a total disagreement as such, but I’ve never heard of asbestos in wall paper or plaster apart from artex obviously, so I wouldn’t be concerned. If people want to get testing done, then that’s their prerogative I suppose. There are a few other areas where you might find it (old floor...

    Try not to withdraw too much energy…you’ve got a long day tomorrow at the back of Rackhams.

    But you’ve still got the soggy stuck together pages of them stuffed under your mattress mate. Always nice to look back Ah the memories

    found a lot of money

    Good question. Like I said, money in a bag is a different conundrum. It’s potentially associated with being dirty and crime, and we’re programmed in that respect. I’ve never had a substantial amount of cash in my possession, so putting it in a bag in the loft doesn’t equate in my world. Tbh, I...

    found a lot of money

    Money is just one way in life. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have more money than not enough, but like the guy he handed it back to…it was very matter of fact. He remembered enough to offer a token thank you,a reminder of his past possibly, but he had no current understanding of what that...

    found a lot of money

    I’d have handed the purse back mate. No fun when you misplace your wallet and the stress involved. Bag of cash…tough one, but I’d probably have kept quiet. Cash in a bag tells many stories tbf. You could always ease the conscious by making a partial donation to whatever you deem to be a just...
