Did micro over an impey tray about 6 years ago. Used a product called feather it first on floor over tray and fibre backed rubber tape. Then micro over the feather it. Worked really well and still know the guy who I did it for and still no leaks and still looking good. The feather it is miles...

Also plus vat.

That's stax. Shot right up

My dad has one similar. Works a treat. Would definitely make one if you have the pallets available. Just need a cover to stop the rain. My uncle has a massive log store on his property. Similar to a gazebo in shape. Roughly 4 x 4 metres of a canopy roof on 4 big legs. All 4 sides are open for...

A lid to keep rain off them to help dry. Wind and air flow drys out and seasons them

Similar to Andy. I store them outside for a year before bringing them in. Then they live in log store I made in alcove. When I'm short I order a tonne from merchants. About 90 quid for a tonne bag of dried hardwood delivered. Also buy there coal too. About 25 quid for a 50kg sack

Back half of house is open plan with kitchen, dining and snug area so it's ok. Front room on other side gets very warm if you crank it up. May as well have panelled the walls and made a sauna. Missus loves it though. If it gets too hot we just get naked. Winner winner. I see it like a really...

Got a 14kw in there. Gets warm

Replacement floor. Not got a finished pic but room is now completed

Yes mate, flopped massively. First coat did as it should but the second could be smeared off. spoke with supplier who train people and they had a complete 'dont know what to do' and followed up with they only supply and distribute. Ended up cutting my losses and putting a laminate down...

You should be able to make the externals sharp with an external corner trowel. If you was to find a bead to venetian up to then you will still see the bead just like after plastering. Venetian is the decoration like paint and should cover the bead. I would practise more with your external edges...

Course won't give you experience marra. As a plasterer already it wouldn't be as difficult to learn and pick up the basics. My honest opinion would be this, if you can spare the money to learn the basics and your interested in the products and what can be done then get involved. The course...

Not bad mate. Busier than ever at minute. Keeping up with venetian but not pushed it for a while. Got some coming up in next few months. How are you doing

Got a dewalt and happy with it. Every now and then it doesn't fire the screw in straight. Cant find a reason for it but I can live with it

Never experimented with different colour products other than plaster manufacturers own pigments. I can tell you though that acrylic and lime don't mix well. If you put a lime plaster ontop of an acrylic it will fall off when drying out. I imaging you would possibly get a problem if doing it with...

Anyone ever had a go. Looking at doing a floor and like most things there are different ways and products of how to do it

Anyone else starting to experience material issues. Couldn't get beads this week, all TP had was hook ons. Said they aren't expecting anytime soon. Was also told in there plaster expected to rise but to 20% in January. Cement is up 22% already apparently due to fuel, drivers etc etc.

Should be a name and shame. Which direction out of Manchester are you. Would love it if I knew this highly skilled craftsman

Seen it before where someone put a clear coat oil over plaster. Think I looked crap personally but they liked it

It's as if bg haven't changed the additive for winter use and still on summer gear

Cleared up. Cheers for this

Going to get a dewalt auto feed and there is one with yellow handle and one with a black handle. Cant seem to find out out difference if any. Any one have any idea

First port would be to talk to actris and find out their opinion if where you are going wrong

Hard to see from pic but there are definitely raised edges. Agree with Plas1 it's not something you can just copy from a video and do it. Like the colour though

All wrong. Rhoscolyn Bay on Anglesey

Told them if they give me the boat I'd allow them to live

10 points to guess exactly where I am having the time of my life chasing pollock and Mackerel since 7amr

Soon as I can. Rang you twice. Even spoke to your peg on house line.You don't call, text. Think you don't love me anymore

Other than catching Mackerel for bait, the only thing caught that could be eaten was thrown back in for being a bit small. So it was fish and chips for 8 ordered from local chippy :X3:

Went off Anglesey on Saturday. Top day with a bit of rain in the afternoon. Caught an abundance of dog fish, couple of bollusc and mate caught a red Gurnard.

It's an expensive balls up if you get it wrong mate. Would say to either get a price from someone or just tile it

Doesn't make much difference with me. Cant catch a feckin thing anyway.

Cheers fellas. Ordered some vapour fabric and baton. Still undecided on what's going to finish.

Built a garden room. Wrapping walls and ceiling with 8x2 T&G moisture resistant floor sheets. Roof is getting GRP. Originally was going to clad the walls with timber but our peg now likes render. So can render be applied directly to the wood with a grit primer and mesh or is it a no go. Open to...

Try david Owen at Actris. Their micro cement is tough and they spent years making sealers for products before micro cement. There sealers are tough too. https://achtisgroup.com/ He's a nice bloke and spent many hours over the years taking ne through products and uses etc. Sure he will chat...

Cheers for responses. No weed growing unfortunately.

Dont think so. What are you thinking

No changes to anything in the room.conditions as they have been for years. Gable end wall on the other side of it and it's a 90's build house. If its moisture getting into the mortar line somehow I would have thought it would start at top or bottom due to leak or damp and you would start to...

Will ask the question

Not sure why now. It's odd that it's very recent

Mate sent me this. Lived in house for 20years and this has appeared over last 2 days. Any ideas

Always called it a hand board. Solely down to my beginning that's what everyone else called it. Well more than it was called a hawk. I always assumed the name hawk came because you hold it the same way you would use your arm for a perch when calling your hawk in falconry. Now I cant get Billy...

Got no interest in all the arguing. I am quite passionate about venetian plaster and like others I have paid to learn properly then spent years continuing it so here's some advise regarding the "will it stick?" question. It might, but using the correct primer that marrys up to that...

Looks like it has failed where the micro cement meets the tile. This is the weakest spot and most likely to fail area. The water by now is behind the micro cement depending what the sub strate is that the micro cement is on too. It's a waste of time trying to dry it out as you would be waiting...

Go to Wakefield out of the two. John is a dick If your happy to travel a bit further and at goldtrowel in Essex is where I would go
