Spray pva on it not brush it. FFP3 mask, suit and tape on laces. Take no notice of people saying it's not bad, its a killer and don't be mistaken. Personally if I had no choice and had to remove it. I would get some plastic dust sheets and make a tent around area. Keep garden spray with pva...

Andy G keeps in character better than this guy. Which is quite disturbing.

Hi You got lube?

Got Andy G syndrome today. Crap week. Went in today in s**t mood and faced with tennant answering door bollox naked laying back in wheel chair, no reason why he couldn't cover up. Expecting me to carry out works while he sits there in room with cogger out. b*ll***s to that , made excuses...

I can change gender in a blink of a eye, but I can't change text in a post. What's happened to the edit button. :inocente:

I slept in a dogs last night I think I need to re self identify as a Great Dane. Because everything is just a social construct.

You got on forum yet

The majority of condensation is caused by inhaling and exhaling. So I would suggest to them that a vapour barrier is needed.

I would avoid dot and dab in kitchen, you've got to hang wall units and a sound surface would be better. If you go down d and d route than measure out wall bracket height and put plenty of gear along that line, normally 2m to 2.1m, and use at least 75mm screws for wall bracket. Personally I...

Get some ffp3 masks for the poor f**k*r. 1.99 from screwfix. How much for 4 yard skip round your way. Is it going in road or drive? Do you need permit? Have you tried hippo bags before. Somtimes handy in congested roads. Just leave in garden and let them worry about picking it up. As long as no...

Hello

Love the stuff. Got to b the turbo one. 10 to 15 min and it's stuck good, got good strength to it . Is on offer somtimes £7. They do a clear all weather one, apparentlysticks under water? I used all weather to refix coppings on my wall after neighbours kids loosened them, couldn't be arsed...

Altering electrics, legally he shouldn't touch them unless qualified, you can legally do your own as long as it's tested for insurance reasons. But most competent builders do a bit on the quite. If work's got to be signed off by building regs, make sure you get cert, or no sign off.

I know shocking. Thought mixer bloke was having me over, so I rang around and he was the cheapest. About same price. Wouldn't have thought mix was that different from foundation mix to warrant double the price. I know sulphate attacks ground concrete more and needs different additives and mix...

Guess is that wall not flat enough for skim coat.

Thought it was gonna be a Andy G thread by the title

Better add fibres to the mix as well. About another £8 m3. Ring a concrete firm ask for drive mix per m3. Think you should have aspirin on ready for the blood pressure.

All depends on if it's for a drive or not. A big difference in price if it is. As I found out . And quantity. Any half loads get charged for as well. Think I paid £80m3 for foundations I had a large quantity and paid half cash deal. For my drive it was twice that. Thought he was robbing me...

Have B.G started using better backing paper or is the brown side still recycled paper and not to be plastered. If so why is o.k to stick dabs to and become a structual element

And it won't sound like your living in a porta cabin.

Think it sounds more as if boards have pulled away from dab, unless it's because dab was drawn into wall to quickly or moisture got to boards before they were used and paper lost its durability. Only solution I can think of without gutting house is drill holes and pump Insta stick. Tragic, buy a...

Dot and dab is crap in my opinion.its a quick fix or a installation method intended to speed up construction. I reckon this system has high likelihood of failing in time. I have been in properties only 5 years old and tapped dot and dab walls just to hear it hollow where gear is no longer...

Felt backing on those stalls. High gloss can scratch. Nice looking kitchen good job

Andy G we have perfect lab for you

Me grandad had one and could play the piano with them. You'll be good just don't busta gonad in mean time.

Be careful with some of that carpet protector, especially on new carpet. I've had some pull threads out with it.

Think your on the wrong forum. I'm pretty sure mars keeps it's trade secrets close. The round corners are part of this trade mark design. But I know one of the backing coats involves a honeycomb substrate. GOOD LUCK.

There seems to be a flood of adult training courses in the building trade at moment. I know a lot are funded by government. They must be expecting the building trade to keep booming. Shame the wages ain't reflecting it.

Smudger: A person who uses frozen poo as a dildo. This forum has really educated me. Thanks

I read the other day if your a white male forget it. They lowered the pass score for foreigner and women to 60% and kept it at 70% for white men. Mate at work just got in as retained and said it's easy to achieve the 70% pass anyways. So what sort of imbeciles are they gonna take in at 60%...

You should never have 2 late one's in same day

Alcohol is a depresent . So not gonna help you much with that problem.

We frendz nouw Yu not go awey agen no moor. Yu stey wit Andy G forwether.

How's that job going.

Don't know how you guys do it. What's the average meterage a day for spread on site.

HELLO. The YTS scheme is branching out ?

I'm quarter Irish . So I'd probably use 6" nails and some Dec chaulk

Job creation. Wait till new people move in and stick card through letter box.

How's it go today. Bet you enjoyed it in the end. That's a nice job you picked up. Better than the little shity gimp toilet room I had to do today . Council job so they got a one coat special. And they should be grateful for it. Scummers.

Don't stain them beams.

It does happen I know plumbers on direct labour for a London council, earnings touching 150.000 with call outs. Lucky bastards. But I wouldn't trade quality of life in my area to live in that s**t hole again.

That guy is a genius I'm pretty sure he has 134 IQ and just does it for the crack.

Prima Donnas are rife in the plastering trade. We all had to start from somewhere. I used to lab for people that didn't want to pass on knowledge, probably out of fear that I would be potential competition for them if I progressed. At the same time they would moan how knowledge is lost with...

Feck the labs Andy G spray coat artex now no need for lab.

If he is a grafter then you have found a rare thing. Hopefully he has the stamina for the long haul and not untill the novelty wears off. Be straight with him and tell him he is a good worker and you'd like him to progress. I had to train someone up about a year ago, I didn't realise it's...

Hi

How much is the gap 10mm over the first 150mm? That's nothing to get over. O.k it shouldn't be like that and re-plastering is the only option to straighten. But if fitter can't get over it and keep units straight he ain't much better. If it's a cnr unit going there they sit 125mm away from cnr...

Working in a old Hall. Plastering the old servants stairwell ceiling. Set up like that. Getting on with job, maintenance bloke who worked there took light fitting down, electric off , when he decided to test somthing else he'd changed. 230v straight to me cranium. f**k me everything went white...

Is there any windows, if so is mastic o.k. or (door mastic). If you batten put dpm behind. But if you got that much water then what ever you do will be a waste of time. Find problem, fix it. And if needs replastering stick insulated board with foam adhesive. Otherwise being single skin it will...
