I'd be bouncing off the walls after a few beers....

That would do my nut in :loco:

Why plaster a wet room, wedi type boards, dabbed and screwed would be better.

I remember those, the good old days :rayos:

Hi and welcome....worked in Bournemouth when I was 19 back in 76 in the red hot summer.

I cover the electrical sockets (after unscrewing) with thin disposable sandwich bags.

Is that going to cost or is it a freebie...

I only have one child and she has no interest whatsoever:)

I'd be more concerned what the "Qualified electrician" has done with taping up wires....

60 in October, don't how much longer I can be arsed to be honest:cachetada:

They reckon about a 1'000m2 a day:rayos:

You know that a cement based slc is a no no....

I would want to tiling it either, that's all over the place.

Jumbo stud so it can built higher rather than say a 50mm which can't.

I've just wasted 9 minutes of my life watching that:endesacuerdo:

When doing tight curves just use a 50mm thin trowel...

Welcome Harry and try to be the best you can and learn well.

Not seen that name before....

Tried to get on earlier but laptop couldn't find the site:loco:

I don't work that fast nowadays so don't sweat....

There are so many variables, mid summer in an occupied house and the middle of winter in a empty house.

Board finish is all we had many moons ago.....

Plasterer will get over that :cachetada:

I've got an Hitachi breaker with all the points/spades, had it fully serviced a fews back with some new casing as well. It's been used twice as I don't do any bigger plastering works nowadays. More than happy to sell it.

I could always sell my body but don't even think medical science wouldn't touch it:sorprendido3:

When 9/11 happened and the BBC,s question time came on they certainly picked their audience for that occasion...

Tony B Liar would be a war criminal in any other country....

I need to see pics:buitre:

Worked with another plasterer on refurb job, he was out of his tree smoking joints or similar and I had to redo some of his skimming due to some tilers having a whinge...he was rough though but he thought he was the dogs b*ll***s.

I found putting on beads with dry wall adhesive loses any dips or bows on the angles.

Hope they have a good fuse box:endesacuerdo:

Lost me:frenetico:

This is beginning to sound familiar, having a rash on the mans bits and have even had a biopsy on those parts but nothing found. could be another trip to the docs which he said I may need to see a skin specialist, I'll keep an eye out for said cream.

I was offered skimming 30 years ago in London at £1.50 m2 but it was very busy then.

Walking must of been a struggle :sorprendido3:

Weekends:cachetada:

Brickies are in shortage at the moment and are earning good money....

Prepping and applying artex like any other job is the key, not done right your stuffed.

I done the artex course back in the 90's, they stated they stopped using asbestos in the mid 80's allegedly.

I scratched next day....no idea what beam is ?

Hi and welcome...

Some artexing hasn't been prepped properly and starts coming away from the ceiling when skimming...what mess that can be. In most cases never had any problems.

I found when I've working regular on site for someone I earned more than working for myself, turning up for the domestic and the job isn't ready and many other reasons, another day lost.

I know a brickie on £200 a day, if they work the weekend that's £1500 for the seven days.

They don't see the materials, I'm sure they think the money is in your back pocket. Saw an item somewhere on the net and stated that self employed earn 40% less than employed people.

I know I moderate on a tilers forum and no way would the language be allowed...that's why this is soooooo much fun with tradesmen who say it as it is.:tanguero:

The old pikeys will be pi$$ed of trying to nick that:crying:

Welcome.....

That's exactly what I have in my lock up, haven't used for years though.

This must be one of the funniest threads I've read
