Looks f**k*d Moral of the story, screed floors before d&d walls

I got pulled last month for towing a trailer with a different number plate, both plates registered to the same company, just different vans He said he’s giving me a ticket, I argued any correspondence goes to the same place and it’s down to us to say who was driving the van He was an absolute...

I mean has anyone tried mixing the new thistle fast set and standard bonding, to see what set times are As it happens when I got there today it needed a full coat of bonding anyway

How no

Has anyone tried a 50/50 mix fast set and bonding? Iv got a small bathroom to skim tomorrow and been given a couple of bags of fast set to try. Usually I’d 50/50 the first coat I wander if it’ll bring it back to 40ish mins as bonding usually knocks it back

I did a massive job using like green ultra, one full elevation of a farm house I thought it was amazing, like spreading cotton wool it was really light, the fibres gave it good body and it stuck easily to loose sandstone, where anything else would have fallen off, the top coat is really...

That’s an awful job, not for a first timer you’ll make a right mess of it Expect to pay strong money for someone to take that on Good luck, if you do try it yourself update us with pics

True, hard workers though

Wher you from?

True I have put some time into researching it. I’m far from an expert but have a basic understanding. Mainly because I had to argue with the farmer who wanted chemical damp proof injecting and s&c on a 600 year old farm house

I disagree, Iv done a fair few farmhouses now both interior and exterior. Got advice from my specialist lime suppliers and worked to their spec, no harder than s&c, definitely no dark art

I was at Anglesey racing a few weeks ago, brilliant track but it was mega windy

Depends how the flue is supported, usually do it all after pal

Will do pal let me know when your ready

You will need an air vent anything over 5kw mate

Learn something new every day

Why lime?

Why does it matter now? Are you going to get the builder from 2003 and say oy mate can you remember this extension you rendered 19 years ago Get it ripped off and redone properly if your staying there

Just skim it. What’s the worse that can happen

Iv been using one about a year now, render and skim it’s a beast

Phone k rend technical, tell them the problem and ask what paint you can use

About £50 for a roll of mesh, under a tenner a board

Can’t you knock existing plaster off?

Iv got a Tayler 8ft it’s mega compared to the new cheap shite

Cheers pal

Hi Richard Is there such a thing as rising damp?

I would never ever deny that mental illnesses exist, I just can’t relate myself as Iv never had any of it Sad to hear your story though and wish you all the best

Do you exercise? I find it’s the best release from work on a daily basis, I’m up and out walking the dog before 6, and im in my home gym now, will be until about 10 then goto bed. A lot of my mates can’t understand how I do it, I can’t understand how they don’t

To be honest I don’t understand or relate to mental health issues in the slightest. I have friends both ex military and civilians who suffer and I just can’t understand. I’m very mentally robust I run the family business and have 3 other ventures ongoing, I’m constantly organising and managing...

True, a b*****d to move on ya Jack Jones though

Quite a few people say that but never been pulled

2014 hse sdv6, black with black leather

Iv had 1 for 18 months now, it’s amazing best car Iv had

So if your going to all the hassle of doing the rest of the job properly why not commit to this part too? I don’t think your fully understanding the way that moisture/water moves through a property, we aren’t saying it’s going to come through your kingsoan concrete visqueen slab, imagine a...

It’s my understanding if you lay a dpm under your concrete floor the moisture that is rising will rise the adjoining walls instead of through the floor slab, so by putting a membrane down you would be making the issue worse, I’m not sure how you would tie this in with ufh though, I’m presuming...

Neat sbr over a high suction background is just like pva, it doesn’t soak in and forms a film on the top which can pull off and blister

I didn’t get a single ban, great way of making a few grand. The bingo ones were good for me, I made £400 in 15 mins on one of them

I did it a few years ago, I used profit accumulator and made around 8 grand Brilliant way of earning money if your not a gambler. The reason I jacked in was it took longer and longer to earn your cash the more bookies you’ve used. In the end it was more profitable to go to work

If you’ve already gone over your 2nd coat there shouldn’t be any misses, he can’t create them

Getting it painted again isn’t a bad idea, they’re brilliant whisks

be good wages mate they’ve got a few quid

I think it’ll be after Xmas before they are onto internals now mate, fancy doing a few days?

16” permashape best trowel Iv ever had, render, skim, bonding, dot, does the lot

Grit can fail just like pva

Why have you got to dot and dab?

What’s correct for one person isn’t correct for everyone. the common denominator for everyone is consistency

I built one in my old house, totally changed the room it was so much better, made sense in that shape room. When I sold the house everyone who viewed loved it

Whatever your diet or training it’s all about consistency

Twice Iv seen skim pulled off the wall in a big blister by customer putting a dehumidifier on, after being told not to. Both times they tried to blame me
