Gonna set up 3 or 4 board and stands and we will all be on stilts but im still not lookin forward to it.
 
:o May the force be with you!!!Did kitchen near on 60m2 kitchen island set up in the middle pipes sticking up,nice!!mate turned out not too steady on stilts so more stress,lab chucked such a sloppy mix on the board half way through it was running off so back in buckets again!twerp!!and other trades wandering through leaving doors open. No one died but it was close!!

Sounds like your losing sleep over it already :'(

As long as you just let the Labs on the first coat only, 3 of you should be able to roll it out no problem, good luck though!

And set a camera or two up..............you'll get loads of big ceiling work off it - heh heh ;D ;D
 
We have done a few big ceilings there a bit daunting but some what satisfying when there finished. The worst one i saw was well over a 1000m2 on a conference center in marlow i didnt do it but the blokle we were working for did it in sections and they painted it in silk we spent a few weeks aimesing it. :(
 
3 of us and a lab did a 120m ceiling in a restaraunt last year, 3.4m high.
It was fireline board so we pva'd it 1st. We had 3 sections
of dodgy scaffold between us which we had to keep moving. We were
all sh1tt1n ourselves before we started but in the end it worked
out quite easy. I wouldnt do it on a monday morning tho ;)

why are you pvaing firecheck board ?

Fireline sucks in quicker than normal p/b ;)

I've never noticed that before.....

? Plastering 25 yrs and you didnt know fireline (red) boards
pull in massively quicker ? They do mate which is grand on a
small ceiling when u wanna get home early but.......
 
Honestly , I've never noticed before - not that I'm using them on a daily basis, but I'm gonna check it out for future use.....If it saves me time it makes me money ;)
