Any history of sleep walking in the family? When I was a kid I once pissed in my wardrobe in my sleep Just a thought

That’s not finished though??

My pal just had his truck nicked off his drive 745am 3 lads just pulled up. Did whatever they do and drove it off within 3 mins

Good o Good on you, can’t be doing with them myself. Been on my own since Xmas apart from 1 job where I got another spread in to help

but did you get your money off him

There’s 2 routes to go down. Legal or illegal. Depends what sort of man you are

Mono cowboys

piss or ejaculate in the water before you mix. Lasts an extra 45-60 mins, depending how much urine/semen you add to the clean water. Old methods work the best

Looks like it could be a rosemary tile to form a drip, just smash it off along with the old render then have a look, think your over complicating it

Mainly semen

Looks like monocouche render, it’s a s**t product that absorbs water. That along with the lack of a drip, the timber cladding looks like it’s the cause. Could be the mortar between the brick on edge too Take the bricks off, lay a coping or creasing tile to create a decent 30mm minimum drip...

You don’t half talk some shite. How did you get these customers in the first place Bet when you were a lad snow was whiter wasn’t it

Get a wood burner in there that’ll dry it out. Looks like water coming down chimney to me

Don’t skimp on the prep work. That looks extremely high suction background, not much of a job for an experienced plasterer but you’ll struggle. If you really want to try, give it 2 weak pva and 1 stronger Post us some pics how you got on

Iv got a similar check list with customers Be gentle with me I’m your dads mate Just a quick skim It just needs There’s only this bit It’s not a big job It won’t take long Sharpen the pencil Some of them would be happy if I did the job for free and couldn’t pay my mortgage at the end of...

Rage against the machine renegades of funk

What additives do you use mate?

S&m

Is anyone still texturing? Iv got about 8sq m to finish off a job and get scaff die , spoken to the rep today and he’s said don’t bother till we’re over 5 degrees day and night. I know it’s the sensible thing but really could do with finishing off, anyone still top costing if so what are you...

As far as I knew they’d always needed a draught reading, I have a soot door with a test nipple on that I “use” when I always get a perfect reading while testing under fire Co alarm are usually by manufactures instructors between 1 and 3m away, 150mm out of corners. I usually try and place them...

What did they pick you up on? I renewed mine last year without any problems and didn’t notice any changes in regs. Do you get the bulletin emails?

Now that’s a thought

If you think you’re big enough private message me, we can arrange a date and a time. Record and post it on here, other than that bore off

Yeah I also give crusty old c**ts the chin guarantee, gob off in person and I guarantee you can’t take 1 on the chin Prick

Iv beaded hundreds of chimney openings they don’t crack, if it had a surround before it’s trapped the heat against the bead causing it to crack. Simply knock off the plaster. Bond out and fit beads, scrim bead edges and skim. Problem sorted, hour and a half’s work

Last one I did was for a plumber who was adamant he was fitting it himself. I got him to send me pics all the way through and I went through everything when I got there. Still didn’t take more than half hour though, even hetas when they last came out to check mine were only 15/20 mins

Thanks for clarifying

Where are you?

Looks like it’s had a Willy 1 coat

Whatever you do, don’t cheap out and fit it yourself then ask someone if they’ll sign it off for you. Not sure about you @Brimstone but I hate signing other peoples jobs off, I will do it but charge a small fortune for half an hours work.

Ideally you want 4.5m minimum height for your chimney Not sure how it would impact your permitted development. It would depend if any neighbours complained

No mate load of b*ll***s. Hetas installers course about 2 grand then yearly membership about 380

Eh?

Look into getting HETAS registered and fitting stoves, over a grand a day is easily achievable through winter

Sounds like your damp specialist didn’t really know what was causing it so he’s thrown everything he can think of at you Is the damp on the chimney breast or directly adjacent? If you want some help post some pics

That’s what Iv used a few times now usually over nhl3.5 scratch but also gone over ultra base coat, never had problems with it bubbling just give background a really good soak

l*m*-g***n solo? Iv used a fair bit, it’s hard work drags like f**k. Best way I found a tight coat then drop back and second coat, I use a 600 spat to flatten in then 16” float sponge then last off hard trowel

Nice tiles them

I was having this conversation with a joiner yesterday, trades seem to be dying out round here. Most customers are grateful Iv turned up to price work never mind carry it out. Recently Iv pushing prices up and up as I’m stacked out, not had a single 1 turn me down. I think there’s a lack of...

looks like it needs a carpet Not knocking your work but why would you want your floor to look like bare concrete?

I know a few from Barnsley who call it roughing

I’d guess about 95%

Not a bad idea that, especially on the joints of the copings even with a good overhang these are the points where it usually runs down and stains the wall

@tapit

Just water

How can you be nearly homeless with 4 jobs?

I doubt anyone would bead prep and skim those all in a day, worse than a media wall that Be a day and a half and a small fortune

Most spreads round our way use wickes now, they usually beat builders merchants on price worth your 10% off

Can still get them I bought one last year
