wow, thanks - obviously met my match here.... ultimate wit and cutting comment, doesnt get better than that.

dont remember mentioning that I did anything, the original plasterer did it to save himself from having to replace the coving and pay to have the entire room redecorated.... please refer to the title of the thread.... many thanks..:RpS_wink:

let people form their own opinions, just read the title, then read the replies from yourself and bubbles - as ever helpful and constructive comments bye now.

hmmm, funny how the title made a couple of the people who made unhelpful comments on the original thread reply...comments from 1 person who accused me of insurance fraud without any basis and another who said there was nothing wrong with the way the ceiling had been done.... yeah very helpful...

for the information of those who posted highly unhelpful comments on my first post here regarding my living room ceiling isssues - The ceiling has now been partially ripped down, and surprise surprise.... where the main cracks are the boards either overshoot the joist they are meant to be fixed...

ok willl do, as far as i am aware threads are only usually deleted if some is being abusive or slanderous or a spammer of which i have been none. If you thought it was going nowhere it could easily have been locked.. but completely deleted without any fair or good reason?? heavy handed is an...

so why delete the entire thread and all the replies??

I had a thread running in your general plastering section, which for some reason now appears to have been deleted, could someone please tell me why??

i have another plasterer coming round next week. the insurance company just said that he must put it right, but were very vague about what would happen if he refused, so we will see. thanks for the replies, constructive and not.. not much more can be said i suppose.

yes the coving was falling off too, and sorry to disappoint you but i have no problem with people having differnet opinions, but an opinion without any basis is simply boll@@@s, might as well have posted that it shouldnt crack just because it shouldnt... being defensive for an entire profession...

about the width of the scrim tape

hmmm, as i thought your posts seemed to be going....your first post jumped in making wild statements without any basis the you rule out thin plaster and poorly applied scrim tape without any evidence and against the views of people who have actually seen the ceiling and seemingly the majority...

no, it wasnt visible until repainted then its obvious....when the light catches it. I will try and get pictures tomorrow, they just come out as a blank white screen, although that said the camera I am using is only a phone camera so not the best...

if the boards and scrim ahvent been applied correctly which are menat to strengthen the joints then obviously thats the fault of the plasterer, your statement seems a litltle odd to me again? The joists are at 450 centres and are 9x2 timbers

i have no idea what you are talking about, who said that plaster had been applied to walls or said it was too tight?? or have i missed a post here?
