I got mine from maplin was £40 at the time but think there £50-60 now takes 3 days to clear but saves the hassle going to bank.

I refuse cheques now. It's either cash, bank transfer or I whip out my chip and pin machine it's great when customers say they not been to the bank and only have a card :)

I had a lad I caught smoking weed at work I sacked him he didn't tell his dad who was a health and safety and risk assessment officer for the NHS then his dad tried to take me to court which I let go so far (costing him money)then asked him if smoking drugs was a instant sackable offence? He...

It's a hour away lol

Valley of shadows ?

Hello there and welcome

Hello and welcome

More money :)

Screw driver and hammer finds the joists. If I had a ceiling where they were 720 apart I would have ripped the lot down and put noggins in then counter crossed it with batten.

Book a training course and ask them to pay you to learn there product or system (you know the answer). Asking another spread show you how to do something and then have the cheek to say you want paying is shocking IMO. I'm sure your original post should have said your 13 and live in a new...

I've had customers who have moved into houses and had all ceilings replaced scared that there kids are being exposed to asbestos because survey reports when they bought house have said artex has a trace and that's all. Rule of thumb is that you can cover but not expose/disturb

Anyone that knows or works with asbestos or been on a course says that!!! there is a tiny amount of asbestos in artex and it's not the bad bad type (even though it all is in reality) they always say for insurance reasons not to tamper but just to cover. Asbestos was still used very widely in a...

What have you worked as up to the point where you decided to get into plastering ?

Me and my mate was gonna go to gold trowel and pretend we knew nothing then last day smash it out like we're on price :)

Welcome bud

Why don't they try and contact the ex forces that they paid to train in the plastering trade after they left and let them give something back. Can't be that hard to go through the records as see who they sent on a 6 week course and call themselves plasterers.

Hand hawk :)

Are you using rib lath or just eml?

And has anyone tried bulking the first coat with some bonding over artex ?

I can't see it being around for long but can see it working well with right knowledge and skills but think BG will get slated by the DIY market and them getting to much hassle then pull it from the shelves

after shoe shopping

Long labour I'm guessing ? Squeezing life out his trowel hand I bet :)

I've not used There thin coat stuff I've used there HBS and silicon render

There is a app (smart risk or something like that) I had to do one last year

Oh and btw when I fired it up between coats it was to get the cracks to expose and make sure it wouldn't crack before the top coat went on not just to feed our faces :)

Started with 2 coats bucket gauged at 5-1 with febmix then top coat 4-1 all had a handful of grit thrown in for a little bit of body. that white fire board at bottom is great to fix your mesh onto and start wrapping then just use snips to cut shapes and tie together with wire

I had a Monojet, 3phase genny, hoses, cables and 2 water butts in one plus my normal tools didnt break the machine down either

8x4 go into the lwb high top transit connect with the seat down

Just normal sand and cement mix (white cement tho) i did light the fire up between coats and cooked a few Iceland pizzas for me and the lads

Speak to Oswin in the office he will sort you out there HBS is good and I've not used any of there bucket coat stuff so couldn't say

That's a pizza oven I done in a restaurant :) wired up and over with ceramic insulation don't even get warm on the outside

I've not had a system of there's fail on me yet!!! although I was spraying with Monojet but will be with Ritmo on this one with Monojet spraying the bigger panels and higher lifts. I have there latest price list for beads and render if you want it

It has a slower set I love the stuff goes through machine like butter :) I'm doing 1400m2 in 2 weeks can't wait

Yes I agree paying for a course is bad of any company if your using there product but it's a very small price at £80 is what I was getting at. And pricing is a tough one I priced a job £512k was my biggest ever I needed involvement from surveyors, outside agents and product company. It's wasn't...

I spoke with a rep yesterday £80 for a 2 day course in Birmingham. I have to price a sto job and they limit applicators to areas with that they give you leads and help you on pricing. In my opinion it's worth the 80 just to be able to price for the works I know 2 days off work travel and hotel...

Horrible!!! my biggest fear falling on my trowel. And missus finding a bank statement.

Was back in the 90s was cleaning a G4 out with kips gold band down the rubbish shoot only to find out half was missing and no skip at the bottom covered all the scaffold,brickwork, fresh Tarmac and my bosses car

Vaseline the floor where he puts his ladder[emoji48] or just have a scaffold alarm sensor put on. most of my scaffold I've had put up has alarms now for customers home insurance as needs to be for there cover

When in your training video the set up then you always you have it in your pocket as a check list or reference. Been there and quite stressful with all eyes on you hope you cleaned your hose out!!

Hello and welcome

Lol they normally start with millwall and west ham the book was originally about west game only reason United have a half decent firm is because there so many of them yids are one of the worst you could come across

The dulux centre have specials on copper pure bristle 6in brushes every now and the buy one get one free kinda stuff and there only £20

We should get the guys number and put adverts in the free ads across the country saying he selling french bulldog puppies for £100 his phone won't stop lol

I use a old mono scratcher on the artex works a treat in finding the loose and takes the high spots away then pva then skim as normal never had a problem

That's with holding the boards up with 6 screws and not troweling up lol

Don't think it's going to be lol I know Dougie wasn't happy about it in green street but from what I've seen it's closer to the real thing

Was a film called Top Dog written by Dougie Brimson he wrote the first Greenstreet its a football hooligan film but with a twist about the Top Boy

I'll give you that Harry was good

Think I'll just keep my machine for a year and just buy a 2nd hand ritmo run them both which ever gets main use I'll keep
