We try to get new builds render and set the inside. Then you can always have something to do if the weathers shite! Not always that easy though. I tend to up my price for rendering in winter to allow for some of the downtime/sitting in the van !
I've only got a green card because I refuse to pay 3k for an nvq. Their not worth the paper they're written on imo... Although I understand some sites now demand a gold card to put on ?
this isn't like other trades (sparky/plumber) it's all based on experience and knack, I've sacked handfuls...
iPhone 6 with an "otter box" shatter/shock proof case. Thing is indestructible !! This is my 4th iPhone from breakages at work though. Finally realised the £40 case is worth it
I am yet to find anything made by ox that seems of any quality. Everything from levels to buckets seem to be cheap and poorly made. Get what you pay for usually, and its all cheap!
Although apparently Kia make some good cars so what do I know ? :)
while on the subject of this stuff -
Cat litter trays, why the f**k would anyone want that in their house?! especially in the f**k**g bathroom?! and then they expect you to work in there! c**ts the lot of em.
I don't mind cats but for christs sake get them to s**t outside where I don't have...
I've seen your van around Torquay :)
I rendered a house in Paignton a while back and think you were doing a job the next road down.
Does you're neck hurt yet ? :)
Yeah today. Look again years down the line
If you get any bits of base coat that are thicker e.g by the beads etc then it can grin through with time. I would always use a primer for the sake of a few quid. They spec it for a reason
Definitely use primer. I've seen a disaster before where they didn't use any and sprayed it on. It had shadows and lines grinning through within a year !
Always work with another lad, I could probably mak more on my own, but it's lonely and boring. You need someone to pick on :)
When we do a big job and my other lads are all with us it is a right scream. Unless you're the brunt of the jokes haha
if he has got a room to do that day, which is a day's work, it doesn't matter if he puts on at 10am as long as it's finished and is quality. That's my opinion. A day's work is a day's work.
If I came onsite to be moaned at at 8.30 for not putting on by then I'd tell you to poke it and go for a...
Nothing fucks me off more than having the last hit of a job on and the client then asks for "just put a bit on there for me" for something not related to our agreement when you've already cleaned down the buckets and got the van loaded ready to go. I point blank refuse these days, the boy gets...
Go down at 6am ready to get an early start and get in front for once this f**k**g year and this awaits me in the kitchen, f**k my life :(
"Let's get a puppy, it's lovely for the little one" she said. Nice one love
Ive got a makita heated jacket for rendering in the winter. It's the b*ll***s!! I use the 10v batteries in it tho because the normal 18v ones are a bit uncomfortable. I hate the bloody cold!
It's decent for chases/patching. Can go on nice and thick, sponge it up and trowel up with the fat. Beats having to bond out and then skim imo.. That being said, I rarely use it because I'm too lazy/tight and have loads of half bags of multi in my lockup, some are so old they go off before you...
I've had a bad experience which is why I asked. We followed everything on manufacturers spec and some walls are fine and others either crazied on us or the joints cracked.. Fermacell say that the joints should be filled with their compound before skimming apparently but not all joints were...
Oh is that how to do a join.... Right.
Never look as good as all in one set in my opinion. When the light catches it you might still see a shadow, depends how well you can patch in, I'd always do it in one go, 4 good lads should eat that up and in the pub like plaster man said !
To each...
We had a bet at work once when I was an apprentice. Loser had to put on the clients knickers and run a lap of the garden, Mickey ended up doing it, he's a crazy b*****d ! We all preyed her husband came home early and catch him! sadly he didn't, was entertaining enough anyway though !!!
