    First paying Venetian wall

    Not quite no, not far off and since it’s only half days or less each day I skimmed a couple bathroom ceilings in that 4 day period so was still home earlier than normal and with those extra ceilings taken into account I was better off than just doing 4 days plastering

    First paying Venetian wall

    Nothing massively stands out there to me, you don’t want loads of straight lines in it and I don’t think there is to many on this wall at all, I’ll admit I’ve made a few mistakes on it but nothing much IMO, biggest wall I’ve done to date on it and overall very happy wit it.

    First paying Venetian wall

    Oh yea 100% but if they are spending that type of money on a wall or whatever then they have a right to want it perfect I guess, but yea the customers were happy with it and want another feature wall doing in their lounge.

    Help on Venetian

    The established Venetian company’s seem to be getting the work in mate but yea it’s hard just starting out, I’ve had quite a bit of interest when I’ve posted my sample boards or walls I’ve done for friends&family but as soon as you tell them the price you don’t hear anything back, i think the...

    Help on Venetian

    Hi, I learned with Anthony evans at venetianplastering northwest or stucco&stucco do a weeks course, I wouldn’t recommend just jumping straight in on practicing on a wall at home until you’ve done the course buddy, repairing Venetian can be done but it’s very hard to do so.

    Loads of work out there and will continue to be so... to much scaremongering going on. Worked all the way through the first 2 lockdowns and will continue to do so through this one

    Damp issue

    Nothing is behind it, its a wall that’s on show nowhere near any appliances. It’s a bit of wall in between the door to get in the kitchen and the door that goes down to the cellar.

    Damp issue

    Yea it’s in the kitchen... it’s weird, it’s the only part of the house where this is happening and I’m totally lost for why. Wall feels dry to touch apart from one bit which looks damp. Thought maybe it was a salt issue but I’m not sure anymore.

    Damp issue

    Hi guys and girls. I have a damp issue in my house, I don’t really ever get involved with the damp proofing side of things so I’m aa little lost on how to fix the problem. It’s an internal wall but I do have a cellar below so presuming the damps rising from there. Would hacking off 1m high and...

    Erbauer lights

    On the middle setting Which is more than bright enough you’ll get 4hrs off a 18v battery mate, on the highest setting it’ll last 2hrs roughly. Brilliant light, worth the money I think personally. Got a little hook on the bottom so you can hang It from spot light holes in ceiling.

    Self employment payment 2

    Thanks for this, I was really unsure if to claim or not for the 2nd grant but after reading this I think I will as material costs have risen because of all this and lack of BG finish about. Thank you.
  43. G

    So that’s the new normal ?

    Completely agree, local wickes is bloody useless, will never use DIY stores again for finish, would ideally like to switch to carlite if I can find it for a little cheaper than £11 a bag.

    Gypsy King vs AJ

    Tyson round 7/8 for me. Tyson will be his elusive self and AJ will gas out trying to walk him down.

    Has anyone off forum 1st hand received & used this make good skim???

    Nah, they told me they would email with an exact delivery date but all I got was a phone call from driver when he was 10mins away, tbh I’ve found the delivery side of things a bit of a nightmare, always had to chase it up.
