    jewsons closing branches

    Builder I work for gets everything from Jewsons. I once spotted nice ox hawk whilst picking up materials and was just gonna pay for it when mate at checkout said he'll give me my Builders discount... I had that hawk for £10, I was a bit shocked , but he is highest spending builder in my city. I...

    Putting ecorend mr1 on dry base or not

    You got to always prime your basecoat before silicone top coat. That basecoat primer needs to be dry and cured too.

    Cordless mixer

    I used my 9ah on my 18v impact and multi tool and works OK but heavy. Also if you register with dewalt you get 2 years warranty and the fast charger that comes with you can charge your other dewalt batteries in like 15 min as its fast charger

    Cordless mixer

    Just bite the bullet and get the dewalt one. I can't fault it at all, it's a game changer and pays itself off within few couple of jobs. As far as I heard other people trying out different brands like makita etc the dewalt ones are by far best.

    Antalya

    Friends of ours went there last September. They said the hotel was amazing, really hot and all that, they liked it but they said antalya airport is absolutely shocking, very busy and unorganised. I'm off to Tunisia in August and to Poland in months time. Can't wait.

    Rendering garden walls

    I was never a fan of rendering all the way to the floor, I normally get a stop bead and put something of the same thickness and plant the beads on that and once set can be pulled out. 9.5mm plasterboard offcut or something like that. I really like using ocr on the garden walls, plastic beads.

    Busy or not?

    Since January I'm fully booked good month in advance, which I'm happy with as one man band, any more than that and it starts getting stressful and people don't want to wait. I guess it depends where you based...

    Multi going off quick

    Definitely going off faster, I normally do 2nd coat of fresh mix and it goes off good 20 minutes faster. I thought that this time of year it'd hang for ages...

    Ghosting

    Spec is 15mm minimum thickness to avoid ghosting. Beads on, Rendaid with mesh then top coat. Rendaid itself is part of the spec to make up the 15 mm. If you going over block work you could wet fix the beads to make up the 12/15 mm and its still by the spec. If you had to work with a stop bead...

    Vans

    I had Citroën before small van 11 plate. I switched to vivaro 17 plate and I love it. Loads more room, false floor at the back and I can slide around 20 sheets of plasterboard underneath, got a hatch for things that are 3m long. Fuel is pretty much the same, around 35/40 mpg, but I also got a...

    Apprentice getting to work

    Push bike and meet half way if far or cycle to yours and go from there. They even got these electric scooters now. I used to take a bus to my gaff and when I passed my test drove to his every day.

    Advice on render to use on timber framed house.

    Rendering on ply is always got its risks of cracking, best option is to use insulation screwed to the ply and then go with silicone system over the top. I personally wouldn't entertain it any other way. Either that or use cladding and problem solved
