Look bud, I haven't got the foggiest what your problem is. Is it because I don't spend every night on here, or maybe I don't laugh at you poor jokes or kiss your arse like some do on here. If you don't like the threads I start and the contributions I make DONT Waste your time reading and replying.

On my jack

Got offered £6 Board and skim other day in glossop, but don't touch site work anymore. Use to do between 40-60m2 on site per day but mostly struggled to get the area in front of me to warrant going hard. Done 100m2 days once or twice (4 gauges, 14 hour days) in 13 years but I have never met a...

Took these last year of a Chinese k rend job, Drive past it regularly and finished job is wank

Fook me,

Agree with @Pagey, even the best of us have the odd mark here and there. Filler is extreme but a little sand paper in your back pocket having a quick look around after the mist coat is normal, I did it on my own house and advise customers to have a quick check around and gently rub out any...

R7 is their SBR and R10 is their liquid primer. I enquirer about a job in Leeds, K'rend over painted solid render and the answer was no, strip it

K rend won't guarantee over any painted surface so if your wanting a warranty from them they won't give it, scrabbling is a ball ache. Look at Parex, they do a base suitable for painted surfaces Maite or parinter, 1 or the other.

Happened at 10pm Wednesday playing football, It looked a fooking right mess, right leg knee right round to the outside. Laid in Rotherham for 3 hours, begging for the doc just to snap it back in, horrendous unnatural pain while out, lifted my leg and just twisted it all back in, felt great...

They have agreed to wait for me for a few weeks. Only small so hopefully steady way of breaking back into work. Thanks anyway gents.

I'm going to ring them now, cancel job. They will be looking as they want the extension signing off so. Thanks anyway, Chris

Got an urgent job booked in for next week with customer desperate to get it done. Very small only about 8m2 of cement board, then nivoplan (base) 10mm full mesh and topped of with tonachino plus 1.2mm Can't do it myself as Iv just dislocated my kneecap and can't risk it. Jobs in dronfield...

Last 2 K'rend jobs have seen me use 4 rotor stators

Just sprayed today which was a mistake and have gone for overnight. Should be ok, but Silicone K1 needs a clamp able rotor and stator as it's just chewed a near brand new R&S up on my ritmo. Sprayed Parex since last August no problems what so ever first k rend job and it's just done that...

Remember I did a thread on it and spent near £100 and fooked it off, winter time we slow down so I use it to try other ways of work. Took the piss to be honest, paid £13 to drive to the other side of Sheffield at 7:30pm to price a 2 storey extension. She had had about 4/5 quotes as you can see...

word of warning if you are looking at having a website, get your pictures watermarked or have a banner, vis vest or work t shirt in the picture, anything, just to stop people stealing them. regular occurrence for me now. had a guy half a mile up the road take a lot off my site, i had to ring...

Can't be bothered to be honest, find the service you receive from Parex and k rend far better.

We are staying away from weber at the moment due to being "told" they have added more cement to the pral m to speed up setting times, how true I don't know as Iv heard a lot of BS of late. Was very brittle last time we used it about 8 months ago

When the customer is fit When the customers daughter is fit (18 +) When the customer fires up the old tassimo to mash When the customer brings cake (biscuits are so so) When the customer goes out and leave you alone to crack on As above, but points to the kettle first Sticky scrim that doesn't...

The b*ll***s that goes with plastering ........... Did I miss something :endesacuerdo:

And roof tiles

Fraying scrim Lumps in plaster Wooden beads Carpets No brews Dirty brews Radiators Sockets Those joists on overboards that just disappear Customers who worry Customer that stand behind you Customers that try and work out your day rate Customers that think they can board Customers that think...

7:30 on a Sunday morning is my best 10:30pm Sunday night was also a good one

That guy that does the videos? How the fook should I know :sorprendido3:

Iv been directed to sig for the boards which are the exterior aqua panel knauf. Would be screwed into ply (studded) then eps dabbed and pinned, still not enough? The ply would take the weight with fixings straight through, not the actual board, which would only act as a membrane and a sound...

It will be fixed and dabbed. It's low level works so no lugging up scaffolding, hence why i would rather use bigger boards. I don't mind using 600mm boards if it's cost effective.

yes we did an eco house a few years ago, not too bad and should be ok with 3 guys

@Runswithscissors Could you get me some prices please for 8x4 sheets suitable for ewi works please. 100+ quantity Many thanks,

Bit of a shortage according to @DaveAndersonREP last time we spoke. The silver tape is good though, not sure where it's stocked.

nothing to do with me mate, i am Qualified EWI NVQ 2 and used the work for a fairly decent sized EWI and mono company, learnt most but still if doing a job with a guarantee to spec id have the reps on site as much as possible, we priced a Mapei EWI job up the other month and i needed support, no...

the kids got a point, and i can't be arsed with another argument @Jgreenplastering if you want to take it down that route, lets just get that clear. If you have any questions regarding an EWI system that your fitting to spec, here is not the place to ask, ring Parex and speak to your rep and...

Do not give out any numbers until you've seen with your own eyes and touched the areas with your own hands. What you think will be a quick couple of ceiling will end up being a house with no parking, cream carpets throughout, on the top floor of a 3 storey house that need boarding over first...

I am put in this situation 2/3 times a week, the most favourite one at the minute is this little beauty "We want our house rendering, it number 21 smith road, if you look on google maps it's the one with the red car on the drive, how much would it be" My advice is go and view it, it could be...

It's not theirs to be handing out. You know what's coming next don't you, "builders lost it"

Tell her it wants to be there when YOU want to pick it up or tell her you'll charge them £40 or whatever to cover the costs of replacing, tell them don't ask them

I think they have got a little worse over the years. Domestics use to be great, in and out, nice and clean with some good money to be made if you could get the continuity of work. Now it seems some think they have you by the bollox and will dance to what tune they play, not all just some. I...

too far mate, closer to you

both will take about 90 mins........ she likes longs baths

no pictures, I'm going to run her a bath, sit with her and sob at being a failure and maybe get a sympathy shag or watch Chelsea PSG

why did you leave a sample with them. i left a small sample with a guy a few years ago, didn't get the job and drove past to see they'd had it rendered the same as the sample was. never leave anything, iv had people try it but won't do that again.

i know mate, not all doom and gloom but when quiet i just rant on here, get s**t off my chest, makes me mad some of the dickheads i waste my time with, when good i don't brag as i don't like to make other who are short feel down. yes the missus is ok, thanks

I'm too soft, thats my problem

it amazes me how some people don't appreciate your time and are just damn right fooking rude about it. i priced a job the other week, when we had that really bad weather, i priced 6/7 in one day, it was getting dark and absolutely smashing it down. 1 guy gave me the wrong post code and was at...

its silly season mate. had the same myself, 1st render job due to start next week, can't do it now as road is being dug up, tried to bring another forward and they can't do it because they done get paid till end of months and can't afford it.

I can't believe what I'm seeing there. And people wonder why the price is falling out the arse in this game.

Don't micro and 10mm. Better with a meshed base coat and 10mm to cover your own backside

@Jgreenplastering Honestly mate, get in touch with the manufacturer if your unsure on anything. The will help you and tel you everything

No I had the chance but their rates were very poor

If your passing a proper warranty the system manufacturer should tell you how they want you to fix the boards and where to dab.

Does the guy never give up
