Too simplify your conundrum your aggregate is shite!. Use a plaster that's tried and tested, problem solved.

I don't like it, looks over the top. Each to their own.

You can but have to PVA it first. Pointless using moisture board if it's getting plastered, defeats the point.

It's not possible by using the membrane system as You'll void the guarantee by using another system but if that doesn't bother you as follows; You'll have to make form from a template of the original bullnose. Then board short on the corners, use renderlite or equivalent on the corners and run...

Surname Stratus by any chance?

I wouldn't go down the mesh route as your just adding extra weight to an already shot substrate. It's a lot of extra time to try saving the detail in the centre of the ceiling so cut around the perimeter to save the cornice and pull the old lathe down then re plasterboard and plaster. You could...

Really early too, he'll knock you out of bed at 07:00 you'll notice he has softer skin than most tradesmen. FYI he gets some bloke to jizz on both his and imaginary girl friend's faces, the protein good for the skin apparently.

I understand that, and have expressed in various other posts little respect and confidence in our Politicians, Banks, Legal System etc. The point I'm making is that yes ours is far from perfect but alot better than the Majority of other Countries in the world. The bloke's a nob Andy if he opened...

Everything you're harping on about in that post strengthens the point I'm making about your dissatisfaction for this Country. f**k Off and live somewhere else or stop whining, wind your neck in and pay loads of tax you puppet.

Use PVA you'll not go far wrong.

I couldn't agree more with them statements. The point I'm making is that since you disagree with everything about our country, from services provided to you - taxes etc go somewhere else and see if you prefer them. I bet you don't.

News flash! Government to propose new working regime for British Population. Only to work Fridays..... Droves of people would complain and say "What Every Friday".

Correction "f**k off to" not "f**k to"

If the Country's so shite and your such a rebel why don't you sell up and f**k to another part of the world?

If it's the floor tiles most companies used in the 60's they will contain Asbestos that has used a bitumen adhesive. Floor tiles will have to be removed by a specialist company first. Once that is done you have 2 options; 1. Black jack or similar alternative, 2 coats all Floor and base of walls...

Check old posts there's lots of options. If plastering use victus system or fire rated cement board options.

Just seen the second photo (next day) it's finish plaster, no plasterer worth their salt would leave a job like that. Don't pay him until he's re plastered that wall.

FFS I thought I'd never agree anything with Dollar!! But he's right with cash.

Looks like it's a mixture of bonding and something else adhesive possibly? It hasn't been beaded up on the corner, are you sure he's finished? I'd imagine his intention is to bead up and plaster it with multi.

Convenient but not for me, cash in hand is or should I say was my preference. Cash is a rarity now since the demise of high street bank branches.

Already done with high street Bank branches, Hate online banking and even worse if you want to speak to anyone. Lost confidence with Barclays, been with them since my early 20's.

It's because the law deters us from helping now, by intervening it will probably end in contact and injuries, it's easier for the police to charge you and make money from a fine than charge some smack head that has sweet fa. Police force in my opinion no 1 objective fining Joe public and making...

Tried few different methods, ct1 pboard in Web dab out from there, 3" x 2" or 4" x 2" same as roof batten method, but I find roof battens (red ones 50 x 25 mm) work the best as hammer in flush with edges of rsj, tack a pboad onto them the double it up with another pboard. 9 out of 10 times the...

Foĺow John's lead, loads of blokes have shelled out on top of the range Ebikes only to ride them a couple of times then gather dust. Get a second hand one with good spec things to look for is no tell tale wear and tear such as; No scratches, cable rub, chips or dents. Tire wear, wheel trueness...

It's a great idea, but i set my noggins at 400mm centres and £3:50 each that's going to cost a few quid. Like it but I'll stick to using roofing battens cutting them a few mm longer and hammering them in thanks.

I was describing 2 options; 1. Completely removing existing, reinstalling new with modern materials/ system. Expensive but will out live you. 2. If existing is sound apart from damaged area then do what I described. Don't attempt it yourself if you haven't an idea what materials/ or 1 2 or 3...

Yes mate did two stints just over 4 years with Para Reg, regretted leaving then rather than swallowing my pride and re joining I joined the Marines and served a further 9+ years. Great times, loved the job but shite for family life.

Wankers! hopefully they don't drop litter, that's my pet hate.

To renew whole bay will be expensive but best option. If the existing is sound just trim back damage area then fit new building paper/ membrane, fix new stainless steel eml, then use hp12 or an OCR to patch in render. Don't try to do it in one coat (it'll sag / look shite) do it in 2-3, prick/...

Pen y Fan.

Think back to when you were young. The good grafters will stay with you and dig out but like you have to earn and support their families so need to work for themselves as we can't pay them the extra wages. The shite ones are lazy, unreliable and not worth the hassle but will stay with you the...

Cut out the processed foods and beverages, good whole foods and include natural anti inflammatory foods such as ginger, pineapple, turmeric, plenty h2o ( I'm still a tea and coffee junkie), strength exercises, walking in countryside, stretching, plenty of rest/sleep. Can't burn the candle at...

More like this; Hi Dollar we don't want you to do our work anymore because your a mentally unstable flat earth fucktard that knocks us out of bed on a Sunday f**k**g morning!

Monkey boy has the primary problem area but when your up there check that that guttering is falling the right way as seen alot of properties where water pisses over end in heavy rain due to fall being the wrong way. Also cut the foam off perimeter of air vent and point it in to aid rain water...

Hate to sound repetitive but time is a great healer. The kids will eventually see that your ex was the cause and she'll no doubt drop a few more b*ll***s, the truth has a way of surfacing. A good mate of mine went through the same years ago, his ex slagged him down to his 2 girls on many...

Stay positive mate, no good winding yourself up over what she's getting, who's earned the most as that's not the way you'll move on. Solicitors, Judges legal system originally there to look after everyone ls best interests, but greed has its ways and exploits this. You stay strong, keep...

Bet that tool comes in handy on plastering jobs???

Late 90's if memory serves me correctly. Working dress with a OG combat shirt, short sleeve order in the summer months was the most comfortable rig.

Didn't like all the ceremonial b*ll***s, preferred proper soldiering.

Tram line are when you don't iron the creases in your denims properly and have two instead of one sharp. I think shadow lines are when a tranny forgets to shave.

Brown could be old wallpaper or plasterboard, looks like a textured coating which likely has asbestos containing materials in it. If its solid enough around it just use easyfill and blend it in for a quick fix. If its shelling get it tested.

Them tools haven't see much graft, you can tell from their condition. Remember I'm a trained observer.

Knock off plaster back to substrate, if you want a plaster finish use VITCAS system, alternatively tile or brick slips.

I'm assuming you're not voting for Labour then.

Sad but most likely, Rishi says all the right things but the words are empty. People that have impressed (I'd of used inspire but overly used now, lost its true meaning) me over my life are them that lead by their own example, people that have started from the bottom and work their way up by...

Imagine if the ice wall melts and all the sea water pours over the edge!!!

Every job is different, access, how far you got to carry them, scaffold how may lifts, spec 400 or 600 centres, weather, lots of variables.

Someone give him a chuck up or a cuddle FFS.

I didn't mention anything about going to other parts of the World or starting wars in other Countries. I agree our forces should be well trained and equipped but not small. Contrary to alot of people's opinions on the forum you can not win wars or campaigns with missiles, bombs, drones, or AI...
