Grow a creeper up it

Looks rough

Looks smooooooooth X

Ha ha ho ho ho...

When I did my C&G we used box screeds and if you could slide a penny coin behind the straight edge at any point if was a hack off (by hand) and redo... Must have done my wall 100 times. Don't tell me I can't float and set. I could do it with my f**king eyes shut and one arm and one leg.

Don't whatever you do let any f**ker near it who offers to hardwall...that stuff is shite.

This is bullsh*t from someone who does both...plasterboarding is much quicker and cleaner. Fixing things to it easy. F**k them off if they bang on about how float and set is better...maybe in the caveman days.

No problem if you take draw the money out of your business account and get a receipt.

Yes mate. don't do hire purchase, lease or any kind of finance it will cost you dearly. Don't pay cash. Try to find a van from a private seller on Vantrader...preferable no VAT. Pay via bank transfer and get a receipt. The van is 100% tax deductible. So lets say you have a resonable year and...

Speedy recovery hectar. Most important these days is wearing the mask I think...I wear it all the time particle filters and gas filters. That expanding/adhesive foam and PIR insulation is horrible stuff

If you can't afford a spread (the cheapest spread in the UK) why don't you just line the walls? Get a thick lining paper.

Am I right in concluding that you are getting all this for free and you are complaining?

Just get it done mate

See you there...

Honestly thats the flatest f**king wall I've ever seen. I wouldn't even bother with dab adhesive just use Instastick. Anyway it looks quite nice with the shine just leave it as a feature wall.

That ain't me...I got hair.

Were you using an ice pick to hack it off?

Anyway that wall looks flat as f**k and plenty of depth on the string to get a tight dab on with 12.5mm board... Whats the bin man doing in the house...nosey f**ker!

Remove the cill, board and install a new one or cut back the cill and fit a new one on top of the existing (if the frame allows) 5 minute job bud...definitely boarding is the way with this one

What the umbrellas for? The wife as she walks up the stairs while your plastering? Going to need them mate!!

Don't bother with sand and cement...dry line it and get a chippy in after to sort the string out. Done loads like this. Should get that boarded and skimmed in a day no prob.

Can you not send us a pre paid jiffy bag?

Hate domestic...stressful as f**k...we work in a lot of 1 million plus houses...I do everything door protectors, dust extraction, the lot basically bend over and get royally f**ked up the bum...but I charge handsomely for it.

Horrible gritty greasy shite...haven't used multi for a few years now only finish plaster....If you have a wall that needs a thicker coat we will go 50/50 multi/finish

Sounds costly...good luck with it.

Thats the first crack of many thats for sure

Should have overboarded

No the warranty is with the person who paid the bill and is not transferable. Regarding the peeling. I normally use the medium orange power float sponge...it leaves the surface a little rough and I've not had a problem but I've heard many that have some seem to be caused by damp getting behind...

Have you sorted the floorboards?

Just had a gut feeling on this one mate pay less pay twice

Mate they are f**ked did you go for cheapest quote? Plaster stains untreated wood permanently. Were the floorboards stained? Sounds full rip out job. Whenever I see floorboards full protection with film and then secondary protection with ply. But you are looking at a hefty bill @ £50 per...

It's an AI...100% you can tell by the way it is written.

Did he do the works himself? If not he is talking bollox...basically he chucked his lads on it 'get it done' and they didn't prepare it properly. If you are going over the old then unless you can be 100% sure it is sound then it is good practice to fully mesh the render/plaster. From the photo...

My lad comes to mine and we go together most days...few days a month he will drive. He has threatened to ditch the car a few times for an electric scooter...insurance is crippling. Doesn't stop him drifting round roundabouts though.

Good advice mate always one I used remember when my mates were out on the beers messaging me while i still had a couple of hours to go to finish up. Always tell my improver that i would miss a holiday to make sure a job is perefect and the customer is happy. He thinks i'm mentally r******d...

You forgot to mention charging a fair rate so not to undercut local spreads. £300 minimum per day. Good luck. When I started out on my own I used to work until 7-8pm on my own making sure everything was perfect. Sometimes later. It was very tough for the first 5 years. Worked weekends to.

Basement = membrane. No other viable option. Contact Permaguard.

Newspaper?

Hard to know without seeing. You might not have any damp issues using bonding (I never use hardwall but didn't realise you can't use it over grit?) Personally I would use rendagrip followed by sand/cement or dry line a solid wall...even better use Insulated plasterboard...less likely to have...

Personally I wouldn't use bonding on brickwork on an external solid wall...especially when you have units in front. Bonding is notorious for wicking moisture. If it's a kitchen you are best of dry lining.

Dry-line it. Problem solved.

Personal reasons? You pissed him off?

1st thing you need to do is phone the electrician and tell him to tuck his f**king wires in neatly into the boxes.

First time I ever heard of the term 'mansplaining' when this clip went viral... Don't know why everyone seems to take it so personally...yes it can be annoying sometimes when people offer unsolicited advice to a professional...I've had it many times over the years from other...

Where to?

Slap it on - sand it back.

Agreed get it from hire shop whip the handle off then run it over the wall like a power float.

Slap it on...sand it back.
