    Conor vs Khabib

    Disappointed at the outcome but that russian is an animal and conor got into his head all the wrong way, that s**t was more personal for him. Deserved win and that at the end, everyone saying its bad, balls, that s**t is whats making the UFC now. The next fight will be even bigger now but i...

    Busier than before the financial crash???

    Ridiculously busy here aswell but here in the West of Ireland, miserable bastards they are. There's a limit on prices and anytime I price over it, I seem to be losing them. In saying that, I got 2 excellent earners last month for a days work and 2 days. Scary how much I got but that has been...

    Lime in the mix

    Still throw the float over it then grab a sponge float, throw bit water on it like as ya do when skimming, lighting rub it with the sponge float and lightly pull it so it sucks the fat off and leaves a raised finish something like artex.

    Lime in the mix

    Sponge float over it. Throw drop water, rub it lightly and nap. You have to be very carefurl because if you nap to hard, it shows all over the wall. Done correctly it looks good. TBH, I've always rubbed up with sponge to finish after floating but starting to like napping instead. Will get...

    TBH, it doesn't sicken me. I'd rather see others benefit rather than them multi national companies cream it offshore for their big multi million dollar boats and houses they spend a few days a year in.

    It's difficult to get into that system after being self employed but once in the system, you can be entitled to slot. I know family members who live a nice lifestyle on it.

    I've always been a pva man but was hearing good reports on the thistle bond so started using it on some jobs. I was the one that said to the client to get it in and labourer rolled it on before the plasterer came in to skim it a day or two later. If it was the thistle bond that failed...

    Did the injector get stuck? Have heard if it gets stuck, its a b*****d to get out. There was an error when designing it that lets water in and sits on top of the injectors. a simple bead of silicone can stop the water and is supposed to help with them not getting stuck when they go. Thats what...

    80sqm is decent money, esp if its a random rubble finish with wet joints. One can put away 3-5 meters a day in that style. Esp with bigger stone. If its more sticking to the rules of stonework, maybe 2-3.5 meters a day depending on what type stone and size. Here its between 50-85euro a sq meter...
