Story of a few fellas I speak to, the works there but can’t get manpower in.

I’ve no interest in woman’s football, but I’ve nothing against folk watching it and if it gets kids exercising. It’s just the way sky and bbc are trying to ram it down everyone’s throats, if so far off the Mens game in quality, all the stadiums full etc … that will be tickets at a fiver and kids...

ive seen it before on occasions, it’s the composition of the 7n blocks, nothing to do with the render. If you look they put all sorts of stuff particularly recycled items, glass, plastic etc in certain blocks. the elevation gets warm particularly on a south facing, certain items on the face of...

If it’s any consolation we’ve all been there, could be a number of issues.

we do both, depending on what we are using material wise, same day or overnights etc. if you apply a wet pass first it will hang a lot better overnight, for a next morning scrape.

It’s one coat ie one application. if you doing 2 passes ie wet on wet it’s still one application on say new blockwork. It’s from the days of not having to put a backing coat as you would sand/cement.

Health and safety as well everything has to be above board. I’d never take on an apprentice again after the hastle of it.

It’s a daft way of looking at it, it’s not necessary the render that’s more or less than the others, each renderer will have there own different overheads. I’d opt for vpi given the choice In any case. You can give as long a warranty as you want but it’s down to applicators good practice, go and...

Yes frequently, or the scaffolders don’t turn up, or pallets of powder don’t turn up etc etc….

Not just money at the end of the day, you’ve only got one body if you start abusing it with hard graft you’ll pay in later life.

It’s Finding a system that works for you. you can have 3 men on a wall but if 2 are useless, it means nothing.

There on the stress points where your lintels are above openings. it’s movement of some kind, at I guess I’d say there’s no mesh around the openings. id guess it’s a steel rsj above the bi folds possibly poor practice rendering over it.

Good luck with that one,they don’t want to know.

3 of us, especially in summer on mono with same day scrapes.

This forum gets dafter by the day.

Ian Jones sold my old ritmo L straight away as well.

Have you tried buying a new one ? You can’t, the waiting list is as long as your arm.

Nothing wrong with taking a bit of pride in your appearance. i remember as an apprentice if I turned up in dirty gear gear, I was sent home without pay for the day.

Small area maybe, any decent area your chancing your arm a bit. I’ll try and avoid any bagged render on a carrier board, it’s too heavy, and not felexible.try and use thin coats Systems.

Everbuild make a mortar stain remover, dilute it down, a small tub goes miles.

No it requires a base coat with of adhesive first ie maitie, and even then it requires Ehi not standard monorex.

pride comes Before a fall. they’ll be a question on here with a different user name, before you know it.

Just buy a ritmo and have done with it.

Haven’t been away for years, that and she’s always wanted to go etc. Can’t take your money with you when your in the ground.

You’ve only just realised horses die in horse racing…happens every year in the national, and 100s every year in the sport as a whole.

Yep that’s similar to what I’d suggest, an experience rather than a pysical gift. its my 15 years this year, I’m taking her to New York, first class. a small price to pay for putting up with me, your a long time dead.

Favourite wasn’t it, I bet the bookies were shitting themselves.

Longhouse poet 6th so got paid out.

A grey nag. a grey horse has never won but popular betting, odds have tumbled to 9/1 one of favs.

How is the USA a pot 2 team…?

World war 3 right there…

Yeah I’m calm .

An 8 yard skip is £300 you’ll need 2, that’s £600 to fill it with your k rend, then you’ll need to buy a few tarps to cover it, to save the embarrassment of anyone seeing that k rend has been bought. Hope this helps.

that made me laugh.

Sounds like your 2 guys on the job aren’t up to the job. nothing wrong with Weber if used correctly, what are you doing with it painting it ? it’s common because rendering has moved on since sand and cement, although there’s nothing wrong with sand and cement, but pre bagged gear is easier, ie...

Heartbreaking. kids getting blown up, loosing limbs, all on the same continent as us.

It’s just being on top with the regs as well, ie details around boiler flues, u values on different substrates etc.

Go and work with a gang and get a feel for it, before you get accredited. That’s How I started out 20 years ago, it stood me in good stead. It’s the sector to be in with heating prices on the increase, epc c ratings on private landlords coming down the line.

Nice, I’ve had an sp11 many years ago when I was involved with floor screeding in a decent way, but in its latter years it was just an expensive shelf in my unit.

Never mind that, who still has cds it’s 2022…

There all doing the demo with the new k rend. but even the offer of a bunk up with kelly brook and a box of double deckers chocolate bars wouldn’t entice me to buy k rend.

The best diesel machine money can buy.

No silicone around the frames either, they’ll contract a fair bit being black, the render will crack

Yep, charge as much as you can for as long as you can.

Ah the old spoof account, fellas still on with that game are they.

Have you tried ph plasterers in Leeds ? Have a call round or drop in on sites in person. Leeds is crane city at the moment, sites left right and centre. Rates for renderers are going through the roof as there’s a shortage of skilled lads. I know a rendering gang on the high rises fixing various...

It did go through, but not effectively enough for me. It was the issue of what r+s to use etc. there will be a solution as it’s big In Europe sprayed, but it’s finding someone else that uses it on a regular basis and having a chat with them.

What thickness does it go on ? and what’s the equivalent thickness of a rigid board insulation to get to building regs of a u value around 0.3 or better? I’ve used a similar system in diathonite on the internal, that was specked at 40mm and was a pig through the Ritmo though.

I’ve owned all sorts over the years as I’m 20 years in now with spray renders, electric machines, diesels. I’ve never used a poor machine they’ve all been par Once you get used to them.
