Few months back I bought the makita brushless twin set, Impact driver and combi hammer drill, 2x 4.0 batteries £299 from ffx.co.uk so far it's been brilliant and batteries last ages.

Can't pm you Richard. Drop me a email at [email protected]

Hi Royston, welcome.. I'm from weston so not too far from you.

I've just bought a 18v brushless makita impact with 4.0a batteries.. Great bit of kit.

Haha brilliant.. Don't wanna give the labourer a bigger ego, by handing him another tshirt!

I need to place another order tomorrow.. Have you got tshirts in fat sizes Ryan?

I do exactly that!

Me and my dad both lefties and plaster with our left. My son also a leftie but as he's 5 I haven't tried him with a trowel yet!

Yeah I am tempted by the brushless,

All 4s should work in the other gear.. There's also brushless set with 2x 4s for same price.. So confusing!

I can't decide what new makita driver/drill set to get, for same price I can either get the set with 3x 3.0a batteries or with 2x 4.0a batteries. Basically just wandering if anyone uses the 4.0s and if they are worth having over an extra battery.

I do a lot of decorating, also a lot of general building work

Waheeyyy.. Haven't heard that before!

That's why I don't just do plastering

Why would I want an office job?

I'm thinking about investing in some new tools, and can't decide between getting a speedskim or the nela s*p*r*lex. Ideal world I'd just get both.. But i don't do plastering full time.. So was wandering what would advantage me more at this current time.

Made me laugh how they all crammed themselves into that man cave.. I would definitely put my name forward if they were in my area!

Personally don't really like the name.. Doesn't jump out at me and make me wanna say to someone have you heard of "putz"

I've got one and would never swap it for a transit!! at end of the day, any van can go wrong at any time..

Yeah it's easy to do a basic one yourself, or there are people who will do it for free, there's someone on Facebook from my area that does it for nothing.

Looking forward to meeting you at Newbury George!

Yep I'm booked in to Newbury one, anyone else going to that one?

I think I'll be giving them a call tomorrow! Newbury for me thou.

Welcome aboard the crazy train!

I use it all the time, I had to use dulux weathersheild the other day because that's what the customer bought.. And it's no where near as good as sandtex. I wouldn't waste your time with a sealer or primer just two good coats will be fine!

Yup go with sandtex, i

Hi all, Just been to look at a job and part of it is some external rendering, few small sections.. It's got a tyrolean/stipple finish it's all sound and solid, the customer wants a thin coat applied on top. Now how's best way to go about this, I've never done something like this before I...

I went from an astravan to a renault trafic and haven't regretted it one bit, got it all racked out, got all my plastering and decorating gear and all power tools, and can still get a good amount of 8x4s in and a dozen bags if needed.

Ahh fair enough, I don't do plastering week in week out so can't take some on full time, but there's occasions when I need some help and always handy to know someone with experience. Howcome your moving?

I'm from weston, but unfortunately I don't have the need as of yet but will def keep you in mind pal.

Without any true facts or pics for evidence, I don't think coming onto a plastering forum to slate a plasterer is a wise thing to do..

I picked up a roll the other week, and so far it's been shite.. Threading one side, some bits not sticky, but better than euro scrim so far.

Where in somerset is that to?

What roof bars do you have? And how have you got it fixed to them?

Yeah you can get the van vault one from sc***fix for £109 atm for the 3m long tube.

Now that is a nice rack ;)

Evening all, I've been debating for some time on wether to get a pipe tube for carrying beads, I usually only get 2.4s because the 3s I would have to put on roof an and tie down. How many of you have one and actually use it and is it worth it?

Can you not give them photo copies?

Might aswell drop my name into it, got no chance thou..

I can't be dealing with a messy van, I like to be able to find something and grab it straight away, plus if customer catches a glimpse what they going to think? Are they going to be that messy in my house?

I looked at a job Wednesday, strip a bedroom of wallpaper and panelling, plaster bottom half of room, fit dado rail, decorate throughout, gave the bloke my price and he told me it was too high and duration too long, he told me he was expecting 3days and under £500.. So told him where to go.

Don't have mix too wet and it shouldn't slump at 4 inches it's very unlikely to slump

Makita all the way for me, I'm just in the process of replacing my old 18v stuff with the new lithium stuff, my old mans got all makita and never failed him. I've found it cheaper to buy the sets on amazon.com it comes from the USA all have to do is buy a uk charger and I'm still saving...

Yep I always scaff out where I can, can't be dealing with hoping up and down like a muppet.

I had a case once, skimmed nice big lounge ceiling, decorated it all lovely. Electrician came to do his 2nd fix.. Found a fault, instead of going up stairs and lifting boards.. The **** smashes his hammer into my ceiling, luckily I wasn't on site.

Grab me a snickers.. I turn in to a right diva when I don't get me bond it!

Very good hector! But they are called hawks.

Hang on I've just gotta wipe tears away so I can see what you wrote Better?

I'm not upset.. Wound up, now go try and be funny on someone else's post.

A big branch should sell these products.. They shouldn't put their name on professional builder if you can't get the products in that magazine in there stores..
