Sounds like a good deal Rich!! He'd be dull to walk away from that. Your doing your best for him in difficult times... Hope he sticks with you.

I had a phone call from a person from another country to be polite, who says he has brought 3 houses and needs them doing up...... For £50 a day!!! The cheeky tosser even sounded like he was doing me a favor!!!

I just had to do it! :D :D :D

Bet he's fuming!! Shame :D :D

Re: alrite lads Hello mate. Welcome to the forum :D

Thanks for that Chris!! Top man :D

Yeah, i didnt mean shirt and tie jobby. I got the t shirts clean for quoting pair of jeans that sort of get up!! Always let them know that its me doing it and that im flat out... Even when im not, when they say they need it done by such a time, then i tell them i'll do my best to juggle things...

It does look the part when quoting and being business like.... I never do a quote in work clothes.

Thing is id already hacked of a meter around the house... All f**k**g black morter as well!! All the hard work is done as well he knows the cheeky t**t!! I know times are tough but to do that after id used him a half dozen times or so is a big piss take in my opinion!!! Tried to ring him but...

Hacked off a house today ready for damp course injection.. Used a fella i have used before. Just took a call from the guy whose house it was. The damp proofer only tried to muscle in and badger him into giving him the re-plastering job saying he would do it for £100 cheaper than me!!! Im...

MY mate chucked his in the washing machine..... Then the next day took his not very happy mrs out to but a nice new one :D :D :D

And by the time youve drunk the tea its time to do another trowel :D

Mate it takes as long as it takes, and the next time it wont take as long. Take your time, speed comes with experience and practise. The more you do the better you get and quicker. Just concentrate on getting a good finish on the wall your working on and then start another. Then maybe put on a...

Yep thats a good way of putting it also :D :D :D

Urrrm... I just trowel the ceiling and around the light sort of thing!!! Think your thinking to much about it!!

Just price in your sheets into the job like you do everything else!! Ive seen this sticky back carpet protecter on a roll, not used it but could be a new avenue to explore?? Anyone seen/used these??

If he gets it done and its any good, tell him i want his number, i will sub out everything i get and not move from my house :D :D :D

Alarm bells would ring with that quote, theres cheap and theres bullshit cheap!! he would make nowt on the job.... Cant be for real that!!

Good luck to him.... Got a feeling he's going to have to get it done again very soon after!!!

Wood every time for me!!!

Re: trowhawk or not...... But it will never ever replace a hawk and thats the bottom line.

Re: trowhawk or not...... Has anyone on here tried one??? Lets have a reveiw from someone who has! How much is it anyway??

Re: trowhawk or not...... Dont think it will catch on tbh. It looks a good thing in the video, but then again so did the blade runner!!! Think the hawk is here to stay, you can get so much more muck on a hawk for a start.

Yep or as flynny said a good brush with water. I prefer PVA but its not vital as long as its wet!!

Give the laths a good pva then just mix up the bonding a bit stiffer than normal and press it in... Then skim away!!

Welcome to the forum mate :)

Welcome!! :)

I have removed the Soldiers thread from both the private forum and the other one that was started in here. You guys are right, it dont belong on this site. The whole racism card belongs in another place (Hopefully) far far away from here!! Thanks for your comments guys :)

I feel your pain mate... Wouldnt wish that on anyone.... Much damage??

Make sure you dont get rid of who it is... Cos you'll never get it then :) :)

Its so nice to see everybody having a laugh together...... im in no hurry to move it or let on who it is... :)

I see your point mate. We do like to join in and have a laugh with people on here. Sometimes its hard to get along with people just cos we have a job to do on here that people dont like. I can assure you that danny DOES read everything we say and sees everything we do and if in his opinion its...

Not being funny but this is the childish sort of comment you dont expect from a mod. If we wernt mods it would have been funny is what your saying is it??

Why?? What have you been up to?? ;)

Welcome :)

WBA night before and skim next day!

WBA will be fine. Depending on how thick the artex is tells me if i 2 or 3 coat it. 3 coats cuts out any chances of the artex showing through. If you dont normally skim atrex 3 coats is the way i would go! Some spreads put a tight coat of bonding on then 2 coat it, but to me that takes to long...

£250 for a ceiling like that!!!............. No wonder im so busy! :D :D

At the end of the day everyone is entitled to there opinion and i respect that. The fact is ive got a wife 3 kids and a mortgage to pay. I took a chance when i got made redundant, did the 6 week course, spent the next year with a time served spread and then set up on my own. Im doing alright...

Clerk of the works, youve proberbly forgotten which end of the hammer is the hitting end :D :D

Nice to see you hold me in such high regard...LOL :D:D

LOL Hello Spunky didnt think it would be long before you stuck your oar in :D :D

Cheers Shag! From what ive heared mate, you should know all about being rough so i'll take that as a compliment :) :)

Lifes a bitch... Hate me all you want, im just toooooo damn busy to care :)

Did the course about 2 years ago. Went out with my mate for a year to get sorted and been on my own for about 9 months now. Things are good at the moment, had a few lean spells but im doing good. As most of my jobs are word of mouth im not doing a bad job. At the end of the day im earning and...

God there was a time when spunky was the only comedian on here... He must have been busy breeding a new breed of ass-hole!!

Good idea fella, run along and put the kettle on. Milk & 2 sugars for me!
