It’s been thirteen years of hard graft. Grim and gruelling. There were times I felt like giving up.
Times I have questioned my own sanity. I’ve had dark thoughts like, “why Thor didn’t I choose a career as a supermodel?”
But I kept going. Pushed forward through muck and ceiling dust and...
Skimmed over limelite the same day it’s chucked on.
I’m doing a bit for my dad but the properties in Liverpool. I’d love to just say f**k it and limelite and skim the same day and wondering if anyones ever done this and got away with it or had some kind of shrinkage disaster?
Any old skool...
What do you think about the clean air zone emissions tax thingy? £10 a day for a van. Coming in next year. Mither. Or maybe ok if you qualify for a grant to upgrade. ?

I was mooching round a Turkish and Eastern European supermarket last week and saw a big bag of cream of tartar so thought I’d grab it!
Went to use some today on a HSL thinking I’ll get a load on at a nice chilled pace and have a super fantastic day!!
Turns out..... it was bloody breadcrumbs...
My sister brought me up a bag of casting plaster this weekend and...... you may want to sit down........ this is mega..... I’ve never before seen it myself...... but..... but..... ITS IN DATE!!!

Can play each other online with an app. I just downloaded this one.
Anyone game? :rebotando:
I seem to recall you like nirvana? Thought you might enjoy this.... :inocente:
To be fair he’s kind of epic. At the same time I nearly fell over laughing !
My sister is an orthotist . So she takes casts of children’s legs, arms, spines , feet etc and makes them splints and braces to correct what troubles them or make them more comfortable.
She uses casting plaster and forms all these casts and moulds by hand. She’s a very talented lady!
She just...
Anyone used this?
Got a message from a bloke wanting a bedroom done with it. I’d never heard of it. Sounds like limelite if that wasn’t actually cement based?
Thanks
Used that spray foam stuff for sticking board for the first time today. Took a cursory glance at the blurb on the can then ignored stuff like wear gloves etc
Stuff worked but wish I’d worn gloves! Sticky s**t that! Washed my hands in petrol . Now they are black and smell like I’ve committed...
This is about as exciting as it’s got recently. I’m in your standard 1930s/40s house. Small front bedroom. Wall is brick. Big random timber on adjoining wall. What’s that about? Not seen it before
Think this is the best place to post this dreadful news...... telly’s broke!!!!
Si looks like he’s about to cry!
s**t, I’m gonna get no peace to read.
Gonna have to put my short arms into my deep pockets for a new one booooooooooooooo!!!!!
And Michael the fireplace restoration man has hung my roses in his showroom because he’s a bloody nice bloke!
Still enjoying my new hobby. Still got loads to do and f**k all knowledge! I want to learn how to make gesso frames. Anyone done this? Norm? @The Hobo
Been snowing a bit here.
Anyone else suffering winters returning pains to the digits they’ve broken in the past?
(Excluding @imago since he just chops his off!)
Working away today in didsbury and just found this left for me on the bannister by their little girl. @algeeman i could see your girls doing this. So sweet bless her. She’s only little

Knocked on this morning before letting myself in and been working away downstairs, rummaging around in the kitchen putting kettle on etc. After a few hours the guy comes down the stairs, had no idea anyone was home! Thank god I didn’t need a poo
Anyone been caught out with something thinking...
Thanks @John j !
Picked this up this morning! There was a bit of confusion because the name on the box didn’t match that on my id! :LOL:
Cheers buddy you’re a gentleman! I’ll be sure to donate something to a kids charity (y)
Doing repeat work for a beaut of a customer! He completely moves out of his flat when I’m here to give me the run of the place. Everything is completely cleared from the areas I’m working in AND the legend leaves me a daily float in this local posh delicatessen so I can have nice coffees and...
We fitted our own windows and they’re not fensa registered. Had an offer accepted on a house today so selling ours.
Someone on here said how to go about getting certificate but can’t remember who or how? Anyone know?
Thanks!
A few cracks above a bay window has somehow turned into needing some bricks, insulation, wondering if I smear s**t all over brick work it will hold them all together
Well I’m very sorry @essexandy but I really can’t get in there without dragging my face up the wall! .... some days I wonder why I didn’t marry a rich man :llorando:
...Go to work!!! :llorando::llorando::llorando:
I’m never drinking on a school night again! Bloody social club enticing you in with their free sandwiches! It’s a conspiracy! :crying:

Been carving a koi carp in between roses... idle hands an all that! Gonna practice making 3 mould out of him since @flynnyman declined to loan us his lady parts!
anyone paint eggs? Easter is about vodka and painting eggs for us! I've gone full English breakfast on mine this year, wish me luck in the smashy smashy stakes!! England Vs Poland!
anyone on twitter and would like to do me the honour of re tweeting tomboy plasterings post? BBC have asked us to be involved with Suffragette city. Would appreciate it, good thing to celebrate and helps get people talking about us in the media. Lots of love, Jess!
we went to look at an upstairs room in an old pub with lime stone walls newly re-pointed on exterior.
The exterior walls are damp/mould on them. The windows are old single pane. The walls are cold. We said windows need replacing and to cover all grounds we were thinking of battening out...
