Best off with 15”-23” stilts in my opinion if your 6’. I’m 5’9” and use 15”-23” most of the time and use 24”-40” for 2.7 and above.

Use someone else’s photos for an example!!!

Lovely bike but them forxs need rotating 180 degrees.

I’ve only used the green one once on an artex ceiling and it pulled in to quick. Have used BG’s a lot when I’m not paying for it and that’s the best one in my opinion, used it on all sorts of backgrounds and it makes mixed backgrounds pull in uniformly ( like plastering on board). I’m a PVA 80%...

I think a good few of these posts are from people that plaster themselves and want an opinion! Well if you are one of those people Mike don’t give up your real job because you shite, if you did pay someone warn everyone you know never to use them.

Agree but make sure you don’t put too much in each hole or it’ll expand and convex the boards. Been there done that

That’s the first thing I do, bin the insoles and replace them with superfeet insoles (green ones) game changer. I like the pull on dealer (riders) style boots, no laces to rot, easy to pull on and off and nothing to tangle up with stilt foot straps.

I’ve used the make good fast set bonding and it’s nice to use, can’t comment on on their regular bonding. Used their adhesive as well which had no problem with but it sets twice as fast as BG, Knauf etc.

I do the same but take screws out and put clouts in flush that way magnet pulls clouts straight out keeping screws clean.

I’ve got 140mm under my porch/toilet extension, I’m sure the plans specifically 120mm but could be wrong. My room size is 4200/4800 both floor and ceiling are insulated ( floor suspended with rock wool) in hindsight shouldn’t have insulated ceiling because of burner.

If you’re going to have a log burner I wouldn’t bother with any underfloor heating. I’ve got a 5kw burner and have to open the doors as it’s to hot if the doors closed. Soon as I’ve had my tea I end up nodding off for an hour, so does the wife. Make sure you don’t scrimp with the celotex under...

I’ve used the victus skim coat on wickes cement boards, like Topspread says follow the instructions for mixing and it’s like tile adhesive to apply. I dabbed the boards on with standard dab(1/3 of dabs) and tile adhesive dabs(2/3 of dabs) as I find the standard dab gets the initial grab and goes...

Merry Christmas everyone and a prosperous new year

Nokia 3210 the way forward

Hate the thought of being able to be tracked, smart phones are gps so you’re kind of being tracked anyhow. Cameras cctv everywhere now not to mention dash cams.

Totally agree, no need to drop the board anymore to cut to size just scribe in place and use a cordless multi tool with a broad blade.

I actually got excited when I seen the title toolbox’s. What a let down.

Both not worth buying in my opinion. The only advantages place for the tape is on velux windows, but It’s over priced. Bars are pointless props smaller jobs boardlifter big jobs.

Agree but when it’s a patch job or a small mix then it’s a no brainer.

Half time works a treat.

Think you might have went straight over light switch, I can see it slightly but that’s nit picking

Yes it’s not the best!! Easy fix if you sand down the effected areas. Obviously sand the thick of it off first with a courser grit then finish off with a finer grit.

Not sure if you mean yellow feed and black feed rather than handles? But if that’s the case yellow one is first generation and black is second generation. I’ve got the first generation which had problems sticking (replaced via warranty) Still sticks every so often more with longer screws. You...

Buskers all a bunch of lazy buggers! They need to get proper jobs, I bet none of them do a tax return and pay stamp (hint tint HMRC)

Everyone I’ve talked to that has Metabo tools has rated them highly, if I hadn’t already got as much Dewalt cordless I’d of went with them. But what’s their batteries like that’s what put me off Makita the batteries are not as good as Dewalt

The Dewalt 18v 4” grinder is smooth but eats the batteries

He’s looks like John but his vans tidy and organised

I’ve bought a couple of cheaper ones in the past (Macallister etc) and they burn out/ don’t work as well as a medium - high quality ones. 90% of my power tools are Dewalt but they didn’t have a 240v 9” grinder in stock so got a Makita and I can’t fault it. It’s night and day compared to the...

Agree that some are substandard but a lot of the tenants are lazy thick T***s that dry laundry on rads with widows closed (no ventilation) Also never clean on a regular basis.

If the water is coming inside via the lintel/steels that means that a cavity tray wasn’t installed which should have been under today’s regs. Having said that a rendered wall would have prevented the driving rain from penetrating into the cavity. Without an inspection from a competent person...

Usyk will struggle with Fury I think Fury takes that one but. Usyk v Wilder will be an easy win for Usyk. Wilder has a better chance of beating Fury than he has Usyk. Just hope Fury doesn’t get careless with Wilder.

I was right! Now Fury has to do his part for a cracking unification fight

I feel like a t**t but fancy and want Usyk to win. Then look forward to Fury v Usyk for undisputed

I bought a few last year here’s a couple of phots

Don’t know or ever met Sputnik but reading his responses I bet he’s got a small cock

Bad admin.

That statue is as small as the key ring. Why not make them the proper size FFS.

Them handles will be slippery. Take it you like walking sticks?

Don’t know how much it’ll cost but what about industrial metal frame work with cedral cement cladding. That comes in various colours looks like timber and doesn’t ever need painting.

Looks funky might catch on?

Walls have had paper removed but not excess paste!! Wash off with sugar soap before PVA

Everything you’ve just explained is wrong. - Wrong spec plasterboard for 600 centres. - Too wide a spacing between screws (probably wrong length screws) - Too much plaster on board. You shouldn’t be working on people’s property.

I’d of just gone home, any excuse now and I’ll go home. Proper lazy buggers sparkies very few good ones, tell the builder to deduct cash of for the f**k about and when you plaster fill them up.

Once the foam has cured cut it flat then dig it out about 10mm, pva it as plaster board edges will need it, fill it flush with bonding the scrim over chase the reskim. I personally would reskim whole wall but feather it if you want.

Hi John I’ve used a light colour render when I refurbed an old 70’s extension on the rear of my house and put in dark grey doors, the a couple of years later put a porch on the front and used the same colour render but I’m careful too when it comes to money so re-used the front door which had a...

Fill with expanding foam once cured cut back 10mm ish bonding tape the skim wall

Either way but I fancy Connor to win by KO. Don’t think he’s past his best just hasn’t been active enough.

I’m with you smoother on this abbreviation malarkey. If it’s not broke don’t reinvent it.

Not surprised you had no light the state of that van, must have broke half a dozen with your unique packaging techniques.
