There were tiles!?

I often thought carlite finish was nicer than multi, creamier, nicer to spread, but only if not over any carlite backing plaster......odd that.

Back in the day when skim was mixed with a bike cog, we would use a whisk on a drill for the last little bit, sometimes, for the last bit we’d give it a longer whisk as this tended to set it up a bit quicker. I liked to use a whisk for sand cement render when damp proofing for all the reasons...

In the spirit of lockdown.......

Murphy........mmmmmmmmmm

There’s old plasterers and bold plasterers............. not many old, bold plasterers.

Good effort. Take time to check out bell drip. There’s lots of ‘looks’ but yours ....well.... As has been said, misting help. Bag up those bricks......google it. Keep it up.

That scratch coat is both upside down and inside out!......couldn’t make it up....

I really like that.........many moons ago I had a Darby just like that, and another with a magnesium blade.............

I’ll wait until level 6 Comes out.

A wise man once said............If you buy a bottle of sauce from waitrose, you cannot expect to pay Lidl prices.

That work is absolutely fabulous. Well done. Your mum will be flushed with pride. Keep it up.

2 dollar whore.......mmmmmmmmmm

Stunning. Both the work and the coincidence.

Same as that, but it was Douglas fir.......and for long beads, or corner profiles ( Keene’s cement)...a plumb rule! Check one one out, that’s old school.

Smurf trowel

Used to able to get “ gorilla grips”, or somesuch.......I used sticky bandage stuff from a chemists......worked fine.

Hibs...............”sunshine on leith” at a football match, a good song.

“Can hope for”.....grrr

@Robbo123 , we are going to have to, like gentlemen, agree to disagree. It’s allowed in democracy. My vote is as important as the next mans, and in a democracy should be upheld and supported. The best you van hope for is that after we leave come what may in a few days time, is that a motion is...

240v once arced 10mm to then of my trowel..........went all the way up my arm and right down to my toes and an invisible giant threw me off a pair of steps........ I like to think I learnt something that day.

No I won’t. Of the 65 million only a percentage are eligible to vote, and of that eligible percentage only a smaller percentage could be bothered, and of that smaller percentage that could be bothered a majority won the vote. It’s not fair but it is democratic. You now hope that a greater...

The future. There will be nay sayers, but to them I say..........do they remember the days of yore when you’d get out the camera to take a piccy of what you’d got for lunch, pop down to boots, get them to process the film, sift through the shite ones, badly lit, out of focus an such, before you...

I’ve been alive a long time. I was alive before Mr.Heath took us into the then Common Market, a coalition of trading agreements. I remember the ebb and flow of commerce, of businesses gradually seeing the benefits of common trading agreements. Generally everyone thought it a good thing. Then...

Magnanimous of you to agree that a greater percentage wins the vote. But 52% is unreasonable as it would require 100% turnout, as I said, unreasonable. We cannot “just not leave”, because a majority, however misinformed you think they were, voted to leave. Democracy, in your opinion might be an...

I heard they’re gonna make them the size of carpet tiles, and as light as those polystyrene ceiling ones, so you can get more in your electric vans. No struggle, be able to chuck them about like frisbees. Yeah, that’s what I heard.

There’s old plasterers and there’s bold plasterers, but you’ll seldom see an old, bold plasterer.

If that is correct, and we’ll have to experience it know, there will probably be a great deal of “I told you so” from staunch remainders. And that will serve me right for having the temerity to want this country to be more autonomous. In that event, I will apologise to any remainders, eat a...

Problem is, democracy is at stake here. Fair enough, there is more info available now as we have spent the last 36 months in constant debate. If that had been the case in the first instance, the vote turnout would have been negligible anyway. But,....we voted on the information we had, and we...

It is clear to me that a local giant has a little piddle every time he is the area looking out for naughty children to steal.

I firstly bish, then bosh, only sometimes do I bash. Works for me.

Only thing I didn’t do was fibrous. Render Render & set (sand/cement/sirapite) All the gypsum backing coats & finishes Little bit of pargetting Floor screeding Wall and floor tiling Grano floors and skirtings Limework, in and out. Angles in Keene’s cement Lathing Tacking Whining & complaining...

Festool. Yeah. Tuned to chris country, yeehaw.

Caddy. Tools only. Materials are designed to be delivered. Dropsalot out.

Give your tools to your labourer, make him scrape and polish them ..........perhaps inside your sauna........all hot...........maybe he’d have to strip to the waist........muscles rippling whilst glistening with sweat........least that’s how my boss used to make me do it...... Funny, all that...

I’m with @essexandy ...........fibreglass all the way.

Back to bare bones I’m afraid. Get it off, get it dry, get it repaired then get the lime on. You will be recreating an historic jewel.

Donate donate donate raffle raffle raffle..........

Whaaattt!

I would have costed this one but then I noticed it was for Oxfordshire......and well, I’m a Cambridge man myself.........

Multi comma “mix it wet”....... I’m awfully sorry but I have no further information for you. Save to say, give it a go however you like, with whatever you want. Pay attention to the advice given here, and good luck.

Too many holes............there’s a leak of pressure see.
