[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] tell the builder if it affects the warranty or the house falls down he's the prick that done it wrong in the first place so he's liable for that to! See what he says to that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] cheers pal, I've got it on FB to and I've had loads of comments regarding the prices etc but no takers yet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Morning lads. I'm looking for a boarder in Bristol to use on all our domestic contracts. £4m2 measured through on both tack and dab new and existing. We do single new builds, lofts (price will change) extensions and renovations. £175 on day work. Or small jobs we will arrange a price. I try...

As Danny says. I always blend a few inches past with first coat keeping it as tight as poss, then blend past the first coat with your second again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to everyone for all your input. It's very valuable for someone like me to hear it from different angles and people who have experience with it! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers mate. I could come off the tools completely but then I feel I would lose the personal touch that's taken me so long to get where I am and why I feel people use me. I can't help but be on all my jobs at some point. It's a case of not fully letting go and always saying to my lads why...

As flynny says. Always best to build the bead out on the scratch leaving it as thin as poss for the top coat so it doesn't slump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I deal either direct with clients so It's my price then I pay my lads. Or the sub contract work we deal with the builder so it's them then us. It's domestic so there's not 4,5 or 6 firms taking there slice. Day work for builders I'll make a small bit on each man. It's not much but its regular...

If it worked so well why is he your old boss mate? All my lads are good, 2 of them are great. A couple just have the mentality of go to work get my wages which actually stops them progressing. The reason there all with me aswell is because they don't want the aggro you get with running the...

Rich has always given good solid advice when I've asked many a questions on the forum mate. His inputs been very valuable to me at times. For all the crap and abuse that happens on this forum there is a lot of things I've took off here from quite a few people over the years which has either...

The money is one thing I can't grumble about tbh. Since I started on my own it's allowed me to do a lot of things I could never dream of with a normal 9-5 job. That's the main reason I've never stopped myself growing as Its always 'rewarded' us with holidays etc and generally never having to...

I'd never get a business partner unless I was buying into someone's business tbh. Every partnership i know has only gone the route of one accusing the other of something. I've got an internal team that my sub contract works for small-medium loft/building companies. I've got an outside team...

We had our little girl 5 weeks ago and since then I just come home and lie down with her on me and think the paperwork can wait but it's just made things worse tbh! I don't want to regret not spending time with her though even if she's at the age of doing nothing! I do struggle to grasp...

That's how I've tried to work it but being on domestics it just doesn't always work. People expect you to be able to view the job on evenings or when they want....now I've just had my daughter I'm trying to be home by 5 to spend it with her. I usually do 2 evenings a week paperwork wise in my...

I wouldn't say I'm looking to expand any more than I have mate just looking to see how I can stay on the tools a bit more. I love working but I can't do any proper days work when I'm having to do everything else so just trying to work out how to manage it better. Im just looking to be better...

I'm been thinking of this for a while now but don't actually know how it can work??? I'd prefer to be on the tools still but with the lads I have subbing for me I find I can't just do a day Graft any more! My time needs to be spent viewing quoting, invoicing, fetching things to and from jobs...

Fair comment. If one of us done that in a country far away we'd be lynched and our death celebrated for days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not so sure. Look at the London riots. That took a small few to start things off and people went mental. When someone's families are affected in some way it will trigger things in people. Even if there wasn't a race war carnage would be caused in some way or another for people to take...

Sooner or later after another atrocity there will come a time when the public will make a stance. It will create shockwaves around the world with copycat movements in other countries affected by Terrorism and things will get really bad. There will be a repeat or something similar to the London...

There we go look, can't admit it, swerves the answer and then changes the subject. Your typically Flynny you really are. Same thing everytime your wrong. Didn't realise the thread was about the triple lock and WFA......ahhhhh that's right, he doesn't have an answer to my question and can't...

I love how you think people have to post links for things to be true just because you either haven't seen/heard/read about them or you don't want to believe it. Doesn't mean what's been said isn't a fact. Search it yourself if you disbelieve it that much. You pick and choose your facts about...

Where's my reply or is because you were wrong? Will you admit it yet? You chat some s**t mind. Just because people don't agree with what you say makes us backward c**ts? There will always be a deficit, our tax and NI is not enough to cover every person for everything needed. Granted it should...

Right instead of you coming out with all your usual bollucks saying you didn't say this you meant that. Read your post. Plain english you've said they take you down to the last hundred grand then your house is an asset and sold when you die to recoup the money. They pay for your care but take...

Always trying to move the goal posts.[emoji57] First you want to me post up proof there Home won't be sold then to prove there better off. You asked for proof you have it. Now just admit your f**k**g wrong for once. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think you've got things super twisted and can't admit your wrong! The current cap is 23kish....... They are proposing to basically quadruple that to 100k. The care costs will be deducted from the deceased persons estate only after they die. The surviving spouse WILL NOT have to sale a house...

Your still left with more money than currently though!? They'd leave you with 100k instead of 23k.....am I wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because currently if you have anything over 23k you have to pay for care. The new cap is 100k? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've obliged your request and have read the link. What next? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yet again your chatting s**t and coming out with your usual read the link properly bollucks. Care to explain??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What would you like me to explain? Your posting about tories proposed £100k before they pay care tax right? I'm saying currently if you have £23k or more in savings or assets then you pay for care. To me that sounds like a much better deal for people? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mate that sound complicated as f**k! So do you build the bots buy and alter to suit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do people not realise that's actually a massive improvement on the current cap of £23k(ish)???!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's for a spread and his labourer he said. One of my lads will clear a grand a week take home if he's using my machine and spraying everyday. Whether he sprays 20m or 70m he's on the same. Swings and roundabouts. He's a god send for me and we have a good relationship. Tbh as long as I...

That's the problem! I'm happy to pay that on my jobs but when we have quite a few contracts with builders they won't pay the money on day work so I can't pay it but it's regular work which is a god send at times to fill in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your right, very few jobs are wet plastered now. Plus it's longer to dry in a day where people want things finished asap! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We better see how well you float and set those thermalights first mate [emoji51][emoji51][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106][emoji106] Appreciate the offer though and will call if needed but need to find a regular Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers mate. Would be a help to start with but It would never work long term. It's hard enough planning for everyone as it is let alone planning for someone a few days a week which wouldn't be set days and then your jobs run over, I've got to let my clients down etc. Sent from my iPhone...

Cheers mate, don't get me wrong I'm not the king of spreads but Christ the difference in what a plasterer was when I was a labourer to what a plasterer is now is shocking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You say that and I used to think that but not everyone likes doing it! Basically your saying anyone that works for someone isn't any good. But think about it, some people just aren't cut out for running a business, if done properly it's not just turn up spread muck go home is it. There's so much...
