Anything sticky would do I reckon..

Christ are they all like that stateside.....

They have gone mega brittle and the paper de laminates dead easy...its not you mate

ASUWERE...

Thanks mate I'll try that never had probs with the grit actually prefer it to PVA but they never give me enough time on those jobs

No hope for us up north if its like that for you there mate..

I do a load of insurance work over big distances so don't often have the luxury of being on these jobs for longer than a day..

Its the 24 hour wait that irritates me..

Nice choice Andy I like the Beatles but I think its the Eddie Cochrane song you meant

Sorry Danny..they forced it out of me....

Hmm true..personally I've thought from the start that Andy g is in fact..Danny....

Oh ok mate..its just that I was gonna suggest you use it ON the walls and not throw it at them like cockney demonstrates..

Cud make you quicker Andy..

U use speedskim....

It cud be that they made that up Andy..maybe they were a bit put off when you rocked up with that chimp on your shoulder...

Yep shud have trouble was I mixed the butty into the skim and laid it on with the second coat....took the cucumber out first obviously....

With you there mate, one knocked my sarnie off the window ledge into a bucket of skim yest..tried to sneak off..made the turd go to the chippy for me ...he was gonna deny it till his mate grassed him up...

Ive laughed so much I forgot to final trowel the upstairs ceiling..Could be a job for lurpak if I don't get a move on...

Lol I wish.. I enjoy that music.. It winds the lads up ..genuinely rubbish I'm afraid..

To be fair you're right it only gets properly bad in this weather..its helped the skimming tho I've now improved the standard to average...

Ouch for you jess..didn't do mine plastering . Helped a mate slab a patio 3x2s..as I picked one up I tripped and trapped the hand underneath broke 3 and split one like a tomato.was furious had to take two weeks off not played piano since lol

Have got two taped together on my trowelling hand once Ive got a grip it needs a crowbar to separate hand and trowel..

Probably just a personal preference then mate. I just can't see the paper tape being as strong as the fibreglass...

How the hell do you do a packet...I only had one once and it nearly liffted my hair off...

Nice piece of 4x2 Hardwood..

There used to be proper characters on site 20 years ago when I first started there was a mid aged Belfast accent brickies labourer.linked after 6 of them great guy if a bit strange.He came to work in a Norman wisdom suit..would take off the jacket and get stuck in.Site manager for no particular...

Is that Andy g s lad moonlighting.... If you could only have one trowel with you ..Mt stainless will do it all start to finish

Ieave me out ta Oli,Am chuffed with my win,have never used a flex before, A big thanks and well done to you,A Top effort

Evening Andy..Asuwere

Is he your labourer mate...could be your own fault for paying him peanuts..

Did everyone in the bar have a go then....

By eck.Melanie Sykes...

Lol is there a story behind this.?

Is this the unifish that does not require you to PVA.?. Not seen any yet asked in jewsons and they laughed not seen it either..b/q wud be ok ..not to be confused with their one coat..vile stuff

Ceilings are my thing I suppose had a big run on them recently.. Thought it was cos I was good..nope turns out its just cos I'm tall the boss told me..you boys must have plenty of patience for that kitchen stuff..

Keep the faith mate.well done and good luck

No I'm North Wales mate..I just thought it was funny when it said good rates for Notts..implying that usually the pay there is crap lol

I won't..I want to know what a good rate for a notts plasterer is and whether that is in keeping with the test of the jobs criteria..

Me too aparantly didn't realise you could cherry pick the talent here lol

We all had to start somewhere..good luck mate

Hmm I think we've seen o few of these..Today its am I being ripped off ..Tomorrow its there's a blob of mortar on the window shud I pay him...Meterage rates are for sites and have little relevance in pricing small domestic jobs..

Just don't buy one that's had the word plasterer taken off the side...it will have had a very hard life already...

They come and they go..but if you were only allowed one trowel it would have to be an mt

Good question..Mondays just

I'm up for it just watched Auf Wiedersein pet...

Went to a loft bord out few years back they'd cut the boards to get them thru the hatch..hundreds of em looked like it had been tiled..lol.perhaps its the way firward

I think you've nailed it there rigsby...we sometimes use the small grades on ewi jobs but I would follow your advise sounds very reasonable

Deciided to skip First time in 2o years ive decided to skip breakfast....:endesacuerdo:
