Hello lads. sorry it's been a while. probably about 10-12 months. Works gone absolutely mad, came here for some sanity although it may just make me worse. Love you all.

£247

nice big tow bar on the back of my transit works excellent as a battering ram for these types

Not been bad for me. I thought ahead in November and got a bigger one booked in for mid/end of Jan, had a ongoing hospital job to go back to that i still haven't finished. Just on the last couple of days of a damp/re skim job now ready to start the bigger one next Monday. Got a screamer on...

After doing a big job the back half of last year I realised that bulk buying is the way foward. Been going through the mountain of recipts and silly things namley beads, drywall screws and plasterboard adhesive cost me a bomb. I'm talking nearly £600 in stainless external beads and internal...

you should see the boarding I go on top of on the loft conversions. how the hell can a gang of 4/5 blokes mess up boarding on all brand new timber?

She's agreed yeah but they haven't given her the relevant information, I know it's not to much of my business and were all out there to make money but just think it's naughty that they've blatantly took the P.

Good luck mate. I'm bristol based myself been trying for 14 months to get a half decent labourer. bristol don't produce them anymore !

we're is it too ?

I've got a pair of merrall boots, they look like they almost got steel caps but haven't. sort of a cross between hiking boots and work boots very comfy light and flexible. warm as hell too they were about 60 sheets from a hiking shop.

had some tickets bought for me for a car show that was nice, few bits of cash here and there, a 50" Samsung tv but that was off a mate who's house we were doing up so don't think that counts? but out of them all. bruce was the best.

oh and 6x3 board is 4.20 I belive

second that had a text off wickes yesturday... multi is 5.25 atm plus the trade 10% off lovley

yeah love the sand cement way mate. I never really done much hardwall float. that is long gone round here. 90% of it is dabbing now but clueless builders dabbing onto bear brick solid walls and wondering why it's damp in 2 months!! As I was always told, you can't beat waterproof sand cement.

I'm doing 3 rooms sand cement float and set at the moment. it's a pleasure to do. Glad I was shown the way when I was as most lads my age (26) and younger can't do it.

I love doing ceilings. done a 32 sqm one on my tod last Friday as the other plasterer couldn't handle it. I asked him why he didn't do it he said he doesn't really do ceilings. judging by his walls he don't do them much either

honest 6mm stop beads

cheers @madmonk @Gibbo @vfr12 layed it on yesturday and scratched it back this morning. went for 6mm beads weber pral M and some 5l primer stuff that was given to me down amaroc blue 5l bottle?? they did say what it was but I can't remember.... came up well so I'm happy. still not keen on...

cheers for the advice lads I'm there Wednesday will report back

I thought the same. looks like it's been lightly patches over.... I'm guessing I could just get the weber prime on the panel and go back over the lot..... I've never had to rectify damaged texture coat before as I'm sure you can tell

I was thinking of putting a thin coat over it it's only a 2mx3m panel. but can you just go straight on top exsiting

Been sent this picture from a company I do a bit if work for, they had a area of render damaged. the product that was used was weber pral. can this be patched or can i go straight on top the exsitintg panel with fresh gear or does it need hacking off? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

for God sake I was hoping for a nice few days away!!

Working there early part next week... Any of you lit based there, will be looking for things to do on the evening... Food drink red light districts etc

of course ! I have got a video of me playing rolling stones paint it black the other week and the chippy shouting out "blasphemy" but it won't upload haha.

yeah. working in a church. got a couple of studs to board and skim while the bitch of a woman who runs the church tells me how to do my job. I'll be playing plenty of black Sabbath on my radio tomorrow

very upsetting this. plasterer I laboured on when i was 15/16 hung himself last month. he was 60 odd fit as a fiddle, grandkids lovley wife etc. just retired 6 months before hand. genuinely the nicest bloke you'll ever meet.

magic chilled for some 90s/00s r&b goodness. radio x quite often but they constantly play liam Gallaghers new song atm and it's driving me mad. planet rock is good otherwise just YouTube playlists of whatever I'm in the mood for on the day. could be anything from eminem to mammas and pappas

Merry Christmas and a happy New year too all of you. Wishing you and your loved ones the best of luck for 2018. From me my family and my plumber mate xxx

I kept my van spotless for a good 10-12 months then someone hit the side and drove off. they left a crese right down one side so I started to clean it a little less...... then I had a argueement with the misses and reversed it into my gate post and smashed the back light and dented the rear...

I always have a flirt with the milfs they love it. Had 2 birds come on to me over the years , one I smashed and the other I got a little shy around because she was older and I coudlnt belive my luck. I stumbled my words and went home wanting to turn back round and knock on the door but knew I...

I do believe it is the brushes, plenty of blue sparks and loosing power under load. thing is, the screws on the body are all knackered, it's noisy and tired out. she's served me well I don't want to fix it then to be back in the same position next month with another problem

lovley offer mate thanks! I'm alright for funding a new mixer just being a tight dry b*****d!

always look at your work and ask yourself this..... if someone came in my house and done that would I be happy?
