Seems a nice bloke

So.... What am I doing wrong :) :)

Eh? Help me? People don't offer help here!! :) :)

As always... Things look good in a photo. In real life its really scratchy.

Bite.

I'll bite just for the giggles ... But the photos show nothing anyway. :)

Just painted a sponged wall..... Looks s**t. Needs a reskim now

Not sure what sounds worse... Hiroshima or the shitgate incident

Give him the kettle....

Bet he will still steal your trowel after day 2

Hi

Follow this advice.

Don't worry yourself. Everyone liked a dig at people learning the trade.

Night night ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Used a sponge recently and it left a real scratchy finish in places. But i think I might have left it a bit long... Will try again next week.

I tried some of that stuff last week and it was awful. Never again.

*insert generic your mom joke

Wife? Photo or didn't happen..

Nothing wrong with that

What classes as not a lurker.... I can't see it :(

Doesnt matter if its newspaper does it? Just bluegrit it :) :)

That is the most beautiful thing I've ever read. It was like a wordsworth poem.....

15 minutes of my wifes time.... She's cooks a mean lasagne

That looks amazing.... But wtf is the corrugated roofing... You do venetian in sheds??? :}

Is blue grit really necessary tho... In order to keep cost down won't devil float and pva do?

Worst porn film evere..

Isnt this stuff just pva with sand....

I sometimes lay in them pretending I'm on holiday so please check first

I honestly have no words reply to this... But feel like i have to reply in order to watch this :p

The funny thing is I've been using a wallpaper steamer in an enclosed space today... Say this stuffs dripping from the ceiling. I had an eureka momentm;)

Ahh okay

This looks similar.... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/HomeImprovement/comments/3mtzpi/can_anyone_help_solve_this_weird_home_mystery/

Don't get how a mixer can cost half a grand tho!

Load of rubbish. Look at those plastering machines that take 4 people to setup!

Thanks. Messaged you.

Looks fine to me. All about the finish..not the process... Until it all falls down

750 is pretty good! Bet they're boarding the ceilings. Hope it goes well. If your doing it yourself I'd overboard those ceilings. That was with me boarding it myself and preparing the walls. Thanks for the advice tho. Will definately ely board them.. Just not sure if I'll take the old...

I got more quotes. Still far above what I can afford. Cheapest I got was 750 for a 4x4 room. So gonna give it a go myself. And then yesterday my utility ceiling came through from a leak. So that will prob be my first job. On the course I was able to plaster to a standard I was more then happy...

Im a manager in an intensive care unit.

How am I if I'm thinking of going onto do some real training....

Well I've now done a 4 day course. Loved every minute of it. Seriously considering giving up my day job to do a NVQ at golden trowel and starting a new career path!

it was a room per grand. I have to get 3 rooms done. Ideally want 6 rooms and hall stairs landing. He quoted me 6 grand for the rooms and said he'd think about the price for hall/stairs/landing.

Tried getting other quotes. Already had 2 not turn up to take a look. The job to my untrained eye looks pretty simple. Skim walls that are not in too poor condition. All intact. Just a bit rough. Rooms would be emptied for the job. The ceilings are artex (asbestos test done and are safe) and...

Well you've totally got me wrong. I agree that plastering is obviously difficult and a skilled trade. But the worlds greatest plasterer is not worth 20 grand a month.. Just as the greatest at my profession isnt worth 240 grand a year. Which is what this guy wanted. But just because something...

I don't understand why people get upset when someone trys to Diy and learn a skill themselves. It would be illegal for someone to do my job without extensive training and the qualifications.. Plastering however is not illegal to try so people are going to try and learn. If I end up making a...

Yup. grand cash. the rooms are roughly 4m x 4m. He said plasterers are in demand (which i dont doubt) but that seems very high to me!
