Might get some hate for this but I’ve been working in a few folks house lately. I’ve probably rubbed more shoulders with folks in the Asda queue and been more at risk . I get the customer to open the door for me and politely ask them to stay in another room . I take my own kettle.

It’s because they are closing coal fired power stations . The ash that is produced is what they use in the knauf and sinait boards . They are white inside and cut nicer . They BG boards are basically made from finish .

I reckon I’ll get up one morning and find van has been robbed . Dewalt mixer , Hilti gun , makita all still there but the bastards took my last 2 bags of multi

That what diamond Matt looks like .

Sbr it

Have you tried Johnstones? They sell ocr. I’m sure they are open

Nope feck all. Just started a 5 bed private new build. Got the boarding tackle but can’t get skim . Should keep us going for a week .

Unlucky mate . Got good staff at my branch to Be fair .

Sold out mate

Mate I just ring up trade point. They put it on a trolley and you pick it up . You won’t get anywhere trying online

Absolutely no way . It was shite before this lockdown and will be worse after . Companies will use it as an excuse to bring prices down . I will just live off all the money I saved on my domestic work until this lockdown is over

The longer your away from it the harder it is to go back to it .

BG aren’t gonna open till the 22nd at very latest and that’s fact.

My mate works for BG and he gave me the last of his pure finish

It’s all gonna go dry soon anyway . BG knauf . All closed .

i ordered at 8am and got the confirmation. I ordered 9.5 but wanted 12.5 . So I rang the store and said can you swap them . She said no . Even though they had them in stock . Apparently if the website says you can’t have them it’s tough s**t

Probably same reason why wickes would sell me a 9.5mm 8x4 but not a 12.5mm 8x4 . Even though both were in stock . I had a argument with manger over the phone . Didn’t make any sense

I was buying this until he mentioned the vaccines have a microchip inside to track us . Don’t think i need to put my tin foil hat on just yet . It will make a great movie though

I got the last of the gear from my trade point today . They told me they have no more deliveries now . They just been getting stock from smaller branches .

I want lab ?

He should of advised you which will be the best result then leave it with the customer to decide . The proper way will always cost more .

If you chopped all the plaster off completely I would of dabbed it . If you only pulled off the loose stuff and patched in with bonding or hardwall then it will most likely crack where new plaster meets old

Cancelled all my work . Gonna live off my savings. Not gonna lie I’ve never wanted to get back to work So bad . Just got to avoid the temptation. If I’m Doing this then I’m going full hog . See you on the other side brothers and sisters .

I’ll join ya

If John had 10 mother f**k**g apples but ate 2 ?

Great . Whole street was out I’m in tears

there only f**k*d if they spent it all

You get f**k all

Well if they get the virus they can f**k off to their sharia hospitals.

You really are a muppet . The lockdown means anyone moving around the country without real reason . I’ve sacrificed all my work to protect my family and others . I’m losing money left right and centre . But if folks see me out working then they think we’ll I will do the same .

Thing is the customers are just as bad letting them do it . I know my conscience is clear by staying at home . I’m doing my bit . Even the jobs I could do I need my lad to help me board the ceilings and how do i know where he has been .

That’s why I’m staying at home . Last thing I want to see is my van being photographed outside wickes then all over Facebook

Image all the diy accidents with people staying in and doing work on house .

This is. Official. Says 48 new . Which isn’t bad for a country size of China

If it’s been painted then I use white no nails . I use blobs and pin with nails . Then caulk all the edges and wipe clean with sponge and water .

To be fair I’ve had no cancellations (yet) . In fact most folks are worrying that it will be me cancelling on them . I had two texts today from customers asking me if I’m still coming next week.

Not always in occupied properties , I do new builds for private builders and full renovations .

I’m domestic and April already looks quiet for me . I would consider dropping my rates a bit . Either that or sit at home and earn nowt

Yeah but wait till your gaffer drops the rates . Any excuse just like the recession .

I’ve always gone with pva mate . They only issue I’ve had with artex is sometimes I’ve had the dreaded bleb mid trowel , before you know it half the ceiling is on the floor . Over the years I’ve been able to be a good judge on how the artex will react . For example if I’ve done a ceiling on a...

I’ve noticed that the cemtone stuff is really smooth and doesn’t have much grit in it . I know it rolls on better but maybe that’s why it’s failing (not gritty enough ) . Now the thistle bond it is expensive but it’s really gritty to the point where you need to keep stirring it because all the...

It’s definitely the grit failing mate . Doubt that the manufacturer of the grit will compensate you though . It’s bad luck mate

Depending how big the room . A pack of coving cost about £30 max and will do an average room and will go up in an hour . Sometimes it’s just as cheap to pull cove off, board skim and cove again

Yes not sure if it was on here or FB. But someone put pictures up of skim failing on green grit .

I’ve seen this happen on painted walls too .

I’ve dabbed with bonding before

I think it will f**k up when troweling up . So I won’t get paid on the day . I reckon if it trowel up ok then there is a good chance it would stay on . But don’t want the risk

Know what your saying mate but I’ve got visions of it blebbing when troweling up .
