Wee Novas were great, always some lunatic with an implanted 2.0 8v or 16v flying about

That looks feckin delicious man

Yeah mate, I think that's cos ur giving out advice on retempering gear and fire-retardant qualities of gypsum...after asking "do I PVA bonding before I skim" Half of us r probably on our man period tho lol, poor Kate had to verify her ID before her photos of bad plastering were taken seriously...

Gold mk2 Fiesta hahaha great wee car tho

Hahaha no mate I think that was Paula Radcliffe

I plastered runner Lee McConnell`s gaff a few years ago. Lovely lass

Amen to that brother, PlasticFlex for final trowel Sometimes picks up a wee nick from time to time but comes out easy with a lick of wet n dry

Yeah since I seen this story I`ve been sitting my fone on the far passenger seat - no temptation that way Bluetooth headset for calls but usually pull in to take them anyway

Call me an absolute philistine, but after coating with 14" MT SS it`s plastic all the way - Speedskim/Delehedy and final trowel with Nela PlasticFlex Maybe I`m just keeping from being bored with the latest fads but at least I`m happy lol

Usually I bin the offcuts, used to keep them all in the garage until I realised I hadn't used any in years

Definitely mate, plastic/plastic/steel, early home and job`s a good `in lol

Mk6/7 Transits r plagued with rust, dunno about the new shape yet... Transporter n Sprinter a bit too dear for me New Renault Trafic has been punted for some good deals up this way My life is just plastering/kids/Mrs so I like the idea of a Guy Martin van (RWD big turbo) for some kicks and...

Top man! Best-looking brushes I`ve seen for a while and not the small fortune that hog hair costs lol

@Plasterers1StopShop When will the SuperPROF brushes be back in? Liked the look of them on the site but have been out of stock for a while

What`s his reasons for not skimming over it? Has it became loose due to raggles etc or does it have too much suction? These things are usually discussed at quoting stage tbh

I`d see the point if it was a huge Luton or a 7.5 tonner but the guy is just being a dick Check your deeds cos it might be a max. wheelbase allowed or max height? Or park on the street if the specific wording is "driveway" lol

One time on a renovation (the same one that I put the pics of the repro stonework up in another thread) we were doing the gable of a farmhouse in white sand/cement, I loaned the mixer to the labourers who were doing work with grey sand cement. I was needing it back rapid so when they brought it...

I did that once many years ago in a nursing home...needless to say we didn't get asked back lol

I`ve used aluminium paint in the past to stop it coming thru. Old school tip before skimming is to PVA and then "paper" with tinfoil - stops the tar coming through Loads of it in old Glasgow tenements

A judge has to convict two drug addicts but it is late on a Friday and he is in a rush to get to a posh do. So he says to them "listen guys, I want to give you both a chance so if you come back on Monday and have got some other people off drugs I`ll let you off". The two drug addicts cant...

Nah mate I don't need a refund, your stuff is spot on - just needed a rant lol

Lol the next competition should be who can recreate these pics the best...I`ve already msgd my labourer asking him if he has white trousers Good work tho lads

Bought an Ox "stainless steel" radiator trowel and a Nela "stainless steel" pointing trowel a few wks ago... Needless to say they aren't fecking stainless!!

Refina midget fits Delehedy but not vice-versa. Refina is 70mm wide, Delehedy is 75mm

Some proper sick f*cks out there...

I worked in a house at the start of the year - they "bred cats" apparently; 6 cats in what can only be described as an aviary out in the garden, 4 cats in the house, 3 spaniels also in the house... The smell of sh*t hit you as soon as you entered the house - there were 3 litter trays full of...

I`ll check tomorrow mate, I put an old rusty MT one into the Delehedy that fitted no bother

Yes mate, exact same design but sponge has less give and plastic feels more solid. Refina was better imho

My ex had that, she ended up getting an MRI and then an emergency op - apparently u need to watch as if the disc is really damaged it can affect the nerve that controls bladder function. She`s okay tho, turn out it was only me that took the piss out of her lol In all seriousness tho mate, keep...

Yeah mate, been searching for a 16" foam backed for ages so tried direct contact lol

No mate, girl on the fone said they had changed the foam to make them stiffer. Will their new ones be the "wing profile" style?

I foned Refina last wk and they are going to be bringing out a new Plaziflex in the coming wks The Delehedy is good but not as good as the Refina imho - the plastic seems a bit harder on the Delehedy

My old man has bad arthritis, swears by glucosamine and selenium

Been doing this since 16, no back problems so far. Best tip was told to bend my knees when lifting or mixing... Knees would be fecked if it weren't for the kneepads in trousers Hands and wrists are a different story tho - both parents with arthritis so I`m destined for it Great tip is to...

I just go with a Chelsea boot, leather with a steel toe & midsole Link Removed

Lol is that cos of the eyes? Genius!!

I`d assumed they were gonna be promoting stuff from the "Rooms Made For You" side of things, everything is about brand identity for companies nowadays? Bob the hairy-arsed builder gets his rough edges smoothed off to become Roberto the interior designer lol

I think that's a definite mate, these sites must be raking it in

Would love to do a bike trip. You seen Long Way Round/Long Way Down?

Tbh I think BG are gonna have to baby step through it as much as anyone else is, brave move being the point of contact with customers and offering guarantees etc. They do need to market the products more/better cos I still cant figure out what Purefinish is (formaldehyde in the air wtf??) but...

Great pic mate

The Schnauzers r great dogs!
