stick with it…it’s fine. It takes time to break a new trowel in and bigger doesn’t equal better when you’re a beginner.

Happened to me a couple of times and it ain’t nice tbh. The worst time was when I completely flooded my eye with plaster, so went to A and E as just round the corner. I think the clean up and the plastic gizmo they put in your eye is worse than the feeling of the plaster tbf. Most of the time...

You’re I’m still ok :coffe:

Not neat

I love coving myself when it’s in other people’s houses

Keep trying, someone will take you on and all the best (y)

Occasionally use it if walls are really porous but usually put on a couple of pissy coats followed by pva. Still has a bit of suction but nicely tamed.

Well, not a total disagreement as such, but I’ve never heard of asbestos in wall paper or plaster apart from artex obviously, so I wouldn’t be concerned. If people want to get testing done, then that’s their prerogative I suppose. There are a few other areas where you might find it (old floor...

Try not to withdraw too much energy…you’ve got a long day tomorrow at the back of Rackhams.

But you’ve still got the soggy stuck together pages of them stuffed under your mattress mate. Always nice to look back Ah the memories

Good question. Like I said, money in a bag is a different conundrum. It’s potentially associated with being dirty and crime, and we’re programmed in that respect. I’ve never had a substantial amount of cash in my possession, so putting it in a bag in the loft doesn’t equate in my world. Tbh, I...

Money is just one way in life. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have more money than not enough, but like the guy he handed it back to…it was very matter of fact. He remembered enough to offer a token thank you,a reminder of his past possibly, but he had no current understanding of what that...

I’d have handed the purse back mate. No fun when you misplace your wallet and the stress involved. Bag of cash…tough one, but I’d probably have kept quiet. Cash in a bag tells many stories tbf. You could always ease the conscious by making a partial donation to whatever you deem to be a just...

At least you can hold your head up high whilst eating s**t on toast Hector :coffe:

Make sure you get a water brush on your angles…not too soon though.

Where’s that then monkey?

Correct, which is why you’re NOT going anywhere near them with your trowel

Like Wooky hole

I’m not that good

And lowering morale?

Yes, your mitres off :coffe:

Yes, wear armbands

You’d start calling a hand board a hawk after witnessing what I saw Hector. May pop it in the private members (y)

Too big a wall for a beginner and the door makes it awkward but good for having a go. Sbr is a bit like whiskey. Some people drink it neat, some with water.

Yes: whoever is doing the work for the insurers will be on a good screw so should be in and out in no time. I’ve done a lot of bathrooms over the years and even 80 yr olds have managed with just a sink while the work was being done. Can appreciate its not nice not having the usual...

Well, slightly off topic, but I’m working for a couple of days down in Bristol. Here to do a bit of plastering for a friend of my mate. Popped into one of my mates jobs this morning to take a look as he’s just finishing off the rewire and there’s a bit of work on the job for me to do in a few...

Don’t be long, I’m thirsty

Off to the Orchard in Spike Island

In Bristol today mate on the instastik

Did mine with hardwall. Chopped back any protruding bricks. It’s all in the CHD Reprint articles are available :coffe:

Not at that time. Some of us have standards

Pervert

Pervert

Just like S and P. He uses a 90 mm on ceilings and 120 mm on walls too.

Welcome

Perhaps Wednesday will see you ok :coffe:

You’re becoming more random than Stevieo.

It’s ok but last warning! You really need to lay off the Stella and be tea total like Chrispy.

It’s a shame you missed the CHD. Next best is coming to Accrington I suppose

I’ve no interest in your buttocks, so open them if you want. You may be able to keep up the knee pads but hang your trowel up.

So, will you still be attending Accrington?

Can’t wait

Yeah we’ll tell them that

Geeking

Just come down to Accrington. BG will be on our stand..

As above. Walk down the street and breathe the crap in, yet no problem. Artex, and the world has ended.
