    Garage ceiling, Artex or plaster, Asbestos testing?

    Mate, if you can afford it, get it skimmed - that will be one ugly c**t painted - it will look dog-rough and heavy. You’ll forever look up at that ugly c**t and wish you had it skimmed.

    Magnesium hawk

    Used to love the Emir yellow plastic hawks, even when you had a hawk-full of slippery-slidy browning or s&c on it, it wouldn’t slide off if you put it down.

    1:4 internal rendering

    That mix must be dead and horrible to spread. Get something like this, your mix will be lovely and creamy, great to spread and rule off. Are you sure 1:4 is suitable for the background?

    Hi......been thrown in at the deep end

    Do a rolling-set (if you have a lab), or split the ceiling - half in the morning and half in the afternoon. As far as the paper stripped off - glue it or if it’s that fukced, replace the board.

    What is the best render option for this extension?

    The rest of your house is pebbledash, to tie it all together I’d pebbledash the new - it’s maintenance free, rock solid and will give the building a substantial look. A mix of the old pebbledash and a new smooth render disconnects it all and imo is crap design.

    How to delete PF account?

    Mate, just don’t come on for a few months and you’ll feel refreshed, then one day you’ll think ‘fukc it’ and give it another go - it will still be s**t but never mind…you’re a plasterer and this is as good as it gets.

    I’ve had enough

    Mate, this is a great trade - no c**t knows how to do it properly - screed, render, float & set, skim, dry-line. Got these under your belt and it’s money for old rope. It’s a dying trade, but massive in demand when people know who you are. I honestly wouldn’t want to do anything else. Well, for...

    New tool

    Another car boot bargain this morning - ‘used but still plenty of life in it, just £15’, he said. Btw, Tyrol machine with no pressure bar or flicker wheel. ‘ohh, it’s tempting, how about 15p’ I said I’m sure I heard him mutter fukc off under his breath.

    I have a strict ‘no asshole policy’, if they come across as an asshole, I fukc them off. I had one the other week, I priced the job and told him it’s a couple of days - he then ‘told me’, It’s one days work and I could put the ceiling on and both walls then in the afternoon pick up the other...

    One strike filler

    Can you actually do it in one coat? Did you use any tape or straight fill? I’ve never used this stuff before, but every other product I’ve used needs 2 or 3 fills to get it bang-on.

    Can someone help is this condensation or damp. Landlord is saying condensation yet its on the outside of the wall also pics to follow

    If the inside/outside is in the same location then it started from the outside - the pointing is diabolical, it might not even be effective. I would normally remove the inside plaster and re-do in this situ.

    Rendering on the coast. OCR?

    Stone needs to breath - all the paint just suffocates the stone. You need to sandblast the paint and shite off. If you need to patch or repair use hydraulic lime mix
