This is your final warning KnobheD

Perhaps try a wall paper steamer.

Yep, diesel has always been the first choice of cleaner for siliconing. My customers love the fresh and zingy smell it leaves. You can buy a handy litre bottle from most outlets. Always use clear silicon when you have 2 contrasting colours, unless you’re an ace with the silicony like Chrispy...

If you can earn what you need in 2/3 days than 5 then that’s being savvy and fair play. It will obviously come down to personal outgoings and time of life. I think the older you get, the chase is less appealing for many.

You’d hope so, but doesn’t always work like that. I’m all for trades getting what they’re worth, but the market will dictate as will the area you work in. You may be able to command above average day rates based on your selling prowess, but you may not be able to fill the diary every day. That...

Well it all depends on the Dow Pauly. I don’t get out of bed for less than £85an hour

Unlikely on a small job.

Well of course there’s that

It ain’t half hot mon!!

There’s a realistic rate for everyone. Most plasterers couldn’t charge the same along with most sparks

Yep, often like that. Picked up some tike adhesive on the way home tonight. Was a time when I used to use Selco a lot, but they shut at 6 now since lockdown.

Thought it was just too many shandies, but apparently not…unless a long session!!

Don’t change your destiny mate

And you!

A single is as good as a double don’t forget. Potent stuff that Robinsons

How’s the high juice going down mate? You be careful now.

Sometimes no option and although there’s usually a way, customer doesn’t care.

Did they walk in carrying a bottle of Evian, a briefcase and 3 tape measures?

Yes it will

He’s still got his mouth free though! Should that be required, depending on the job of course!

You’ll be the lucky one :chica:

The movies are calling for you of the blue variety

Go to bed

Not really. Paint it and if it looks shite then get them back to rectify it. Time will tell if the damp proofing has worked.

Looks like they’ve just used a lot of water and trowelled up the fat.If it’s smooth/flat, then paint it and hopefully it’ll look ok. I’d be more concerned that they’ve done their ‘damp proofing’ properly.

This is our motto Mr B… ‘Turning dreams into shitholes’ CHD.com/handyman Before After

You’re probably right

We’ll see what the other 2 say. Let’s examine the evidence… Below ground, no way of digging out externally so it’s like a mini cellar. Given that, then whatever you do is a bit of a cover up as you’re on the wrong side of hydrostatic pressure. At some point, the little boy will take his...

@themucky1

We’re all guilty of it Holly. I think it takes time when you’re self employed to get that balance and I’m not quite there yet, but last couple of years I’ve just stopped worrying about work and enjoying a bit more time to myself. There was a time where the thought of going on holiday would...

Dunno never heard of it before

Is that the Normroc coving?

No thanks for being a hero, and as you say you don’t need the money. The work will still be there the next day. Good to be busy though, and there’s many ways of achieving that.

Yes, always good to be kind Now shut up

Someone’s got the Oomp You lost a fiver and found a tenner?

A quality priduct!

And yeah we’ll tell them that, we’ll tell them that We’ll take it off the map As we do our little rap Can’t remember the next line :chica:

Shut up

Hic!

Like I said, don’t push your luck. There’s a fine line between banter and being a c**t. Your post is hardly pressing when it comes to the worlds problems, so don’t over shoot .If you’re so clever, you wouldn’t need to come on to a forum to ask a ‘thick’ plasterer what to do so have some f**k**g...

I’m just a chancer mate. Best of luck

Don’t push your luck

If it’s solid , just skim over it bonding out where necessary

Take frame out, hack off plaster a few inches. Overhang pb

No you haven’t

Now now Pauly. Atleast I was being serious

I’d probably use CTS on that

Yes you did, but re-read your post I replied to, then refer back to your first post.

Are you asking or telling?
