    That's actually a good shout

    Blue grit removal before render

    I was kinda thinking the same thing but rep said it needs removing as it's not suitable for rendering applications, that's why they do an external one for rendering. Not only that, on the off chance something does go wrong and all the weight of render pulls it off or don't adhere properly. It...

    Blue grit removal before render

    I'll just have to wait and see how it goes, I will probably just soak it as much as possible and remove by hand hoping it comes off easy. Isn't until mid August anyway so at least it won't be as hot as it has been lately

    Blue grit removal before render

    Well I did ask them at ever build and he said water would help since its PVA based. Just don't fancy hacking away at it if it's proper stuck on. I'm hoping it isn't but the previous guy put it on at least a few months ago??

    Mixing drill repair

    Trouble is they took long enough to look at it as they was busy and I can only use my crap spare for so long. Might still get a second opinion and just get another one anyway.

    Mixing drill repair

    Quick update, know it was a long time ago but I've just been quoted £230 to fix it. Apparently the armature and brushes have gone. New drill it is then

    New lad done a good job?

    Sorry but that is rough as f***. Don't really know where to begin but I think you already know that ain't nowhere near good enough.

    Mixing drill repair

    Well f**k you too. I don't know of any shops round here that would do it for £20 either. Sound advice though so cheers everyone. Having to use my spare at the minute which is b+q and s**t.

    Mixing drill repair

    Got a refina mixing drill that is on its last legs, only had for about 4 years so a bit disappointed it's packing up. I've replaced the fuse and rewired it but it pops and sparks whenever I give it power, still runs just feels like it's going to blow up. Is there any way of fixing it or is it...

    Euro 2020/21

    As an Englishman, I would like to have seen Scotland get something out of that game. However they simply ain't good enough, Czech Republic was probably their best bet of getting points as well. Tournament over

    No was priced before paper was off but they know full well it can go up depending on how much work it will need, he understands and accepts that.

    As expected to be honest, was hoping someone would have a genius solution to get it all off easy peasy but I'm just dreaming. Day rate it is then.. B*****d! Might get some H herbert to do it, trouble is I don't know many. I think that's a good thing though right
