G'day cobber! welcome to the asylum!

I blame the beer goggles..

Ive got a special tool for tacking cielings, a labourer :-0

Should be on the comedy channel surely?!

What he said!

Theres work out there, you just have to work harder to get it. Besides theres an old saying 'when times are good you'll make a living, when times are down you'll build a dynasty'.

Is yr Lab able to move up? Could always move him on and get a new lab? just an idea.

Maybe tboy is really just 'tea boy'.... Nice opportunity for someone though there Owls.

Almost true... still prefer steel on final trowel.

Maybe so, but the government wont help out much with the cost of employing an apprentice though. I think its about 2k pa to help with costs. Worst thing they ever did was get rid of proper indentured apprenticeships. So much knowledge has been lost with the old boys leaving the trade before...

Or buy a stainless!

Nah i dont work for the council, at the time i was working as a subbie for my mates electrical contractors who were doing the rewires, only reason we didnt feck off was it was very well paid, though i probably spent more money on disinfectant and bleach than i earnt at the time!. Proper skanky...

Did some work in a block of flats in bradford once and the pikey drunk who lived in one particualr flat still leaves mental scars! His place was so filthy there was a good half inch of newspapers welded to the kitchen table with tea stains, dirty washing up in the cupboards. I opened the door...

thats feckin morbid, you poor sod!

I bet you blushed and said, 'no he's the giver' pmsl

Welcome matey!

Aint that true! Some of the council stuff n sheltered accomodation too are the feckin pits!

Can be caused by the restriction of blood flow from the stilts. My mrs is an ITU nurse and she reckons its a possibility for sure.

seen worse... Few years back i was wiring a boiler, helping a mate out who owns an electrical contractors. The cable route had to go under the floor in the khazi down into the utility at the back. I goes in there and the carpet is wringing wet with piss and the whole thing stinking. I said to...

On a different note, I'd like to say to the fella who's cieling was a disaster. I think you've some front after slagging the guys on here to come back and try again. Especially after they tried to help you.

So thats the 'f' word then?!

Had a couple bags of multi go off on me like a fookin rocket today. Had to sponge float, hate sponging:RpS_mad:. Tell them to get their finger out with those sachets at BG:RpS_thumbup:

Not liking your steel s*p*r*lex anymore? Love mine now ive gottent to grips with it. Or are you really after a giant plaziflez so you can flatten sooner without it all dragging so you can push more m2?

Commercial vehicle direct, £360. And that with only 3 years ncb after my incident with the merc.... oops!:-0

Ear plugs? dangerous! all those lads been away from home. You wont hear 'em sneaking up behind you in the dark!

must be, really ancient S+C underneath. did kill the suction mind. obviuously not enough though. live n learn eh

welcome to the forum!

wtf is that? looks like a lawn edger!

no mate im anally retentive....

i've got a bit of old saw blade for things like that cieling. its about 10" long so i've enough leverage to bend it to the right radius. Works ok, admittedly ive only used it about 5/6 times.

Bods bob on there mate, lighter the better. paid about 20 quid for mine, its a trapezium type. Got a nice groove down the back for good grip, weighs next to nowt.

tis a puzzle for sure, may be a little thicker, although cant be by much cos of the beads, checked across with straight edge. ah feck knows... Seeing as im doing the painting i'll easifill it :RpS_lol:

use a 6ft too, cant remember what make.

Then why's everything else ive ever done been ok? confused....

nope, flattened it as soon as it picked up, then bashed straight over it again with what was left in me bucket.

Nope, used the same gauge as its only a little area.

That feckers too fat to fit past the boards i've got stacked in the hall. Besides he's still pissed i beat him in the league :RpS_lol:

Bloody hell! how much they screw you for?!

Tis weird for sure, especially as its a void property and i was only one there. :confused:

Probably put a few payments down on his beemer from your wages Gibbo. Robbing feckers.

Still taking those mushies ?!

Little holes. no hollows, its dead flat. just little pock marks. Only where S&C is though.

Skimmed over some sand and cement today, trowel, trowel as normal for me. Got it all sorted n finished. Went back into the room to clear up after doing some patching and there were lots of little pits on the surface that werent there when i left it. Any ideas whats caused this? The sand and...

i had a butchers n'all... if its the same person, looks dodgy as feck to me!

Try the sencan, paid £145 for mine and its up to the job no bother. It'll get you going til you save for a posh one. Cheapest place ive found is plasterersworld. Plasterers Tools. Give em a ring n speak to Ashley.

Australian edition?

Welcome, Chashma? as in Pakistan?!

Don't fisher price make something similar?
