You meanie, at least I gave some constructive advice. I'd love to think he used it :risas:

Do you intend to get a plasterer to skim the ceiling? Because he'll overboard it in about ten minutes for not very many pounds and save you all the trouble.


Or 16". What's all this 40cm anyway, you cock eyed c**t? It's 400 mm. FOUR HUNDRED MILLIMETRES!!!!!!!

People like you make me sick. Worked with a fella last year who couldn't work a tape. Could never make head nor tail of any measurement that he shouted down.

One metre, six inches, twenty millimteres and two.

What?

One metre, six inches, twenty millimteres and two.

Two what?

Then down he'd climb and show me what he meant on the tape.

In millimeteres, you stupid c**t.

Okay, Okay. No need to get angry.

One meter eight.

What?

One metre and eight.

Eight fuckign what? One point eight? One metere 8 mm? What?

Inches. One metre eight inches.

I actually sympathise with this. My maths is so bad and I had a bitch of a teacher make me stand up in class and ridiculed me for it for two years until I would get chronic stomach ache as soon as we had to get our maths books out

Anyway this fear of people ridiculing me for it still haunts me (though not so much now) and I used to get nervous to use a tape in front of anyone when I started labouring because the numbers made me anxious even though it’s just reading them. I still occasionally freeze at a till and my mind goes blank counting change it’s ridiculous. I can do maths fine, normally backwards, but fine so longer as no ones watching.

English, languages, history I love it. Maths fucks me up!

Because it's a very old ceiling and a lot of the old plaster has peeled off so can't skim it and don't fancy plastering over the old boards. would be too messy to take it all down because of this horrible loose insulation above it, which i read could have asbestos in, so don't want to disturb it.

Well im not a professional plaster. I did a 3 week nvq course, worked as plasterer's labourer for a year and have done some work for family and friends and my own house.

This ceiling is in my nan's house, and she is 87 with poor eyesight, so she won't notice any trowel lines. And she spent so much on the double glazing we can't afford any more pros.

I think you'll find that most guessed that you aren't a plasterer.

I never get questions like this inexperienced or not surely it's common sense, you need to screw a board to a joist so find the joist, you know it's there so just find it and screw into it, bash it with a hammer till you hit one

Know what you should do? Get back to college and do it just to prove that you can. I thought I was s**t at maths but it angered me, not having much in the way of GCSE's when I got back to civvi st. Got my ass back to college and took a few subjects including the dreaded maths.

Abso-f**k**g-lutely smashed it out of the stadium with an overall mark of 98%

Nice one

I got my gcse . It’s daft I got A’s and B’s for the subjects I didn’t try very hard in or revised for and the only subjects I studied hard at were maths and science because my brain just isn’t wired that way. I was given that dummy paper for them and I got a C at maths. I was so much prouder of that than any other grade

Not that anyone gives a f**k about your grades now! Lol
 
@Stevieo and to be honest I would hate the miserable thought of going back into a classroom! I’d happily take french lessons though or pottery, I want a kiln at some point.

I now have all the maths I need.. INATE maths! I can avoid it now because I know how much s**t I need for work by looking. And I know the area of the boards are 2.88m and 1.62m so that’s sorted! :p

I liked the mental exercise. I did want to do the A level, but yanno, circumstances.

I watch stuff like this all the time. Lawrence Krauss is a great bloke, but he went up even further in my estimation when it came to light that not only is he a great physicist and educator, but a s*x beast to boot.

I got f**k all in the others as hated them, English was the only bit I liked, reading first few chapters of lord of the rings in year 9 made me love fantasy books ever since

Why is it always when it comes to the plastering that the money is tight because it’s been spent elsewhere.I’ve had these poor mouth stories and then seen the best of kitchens,bathrooms and furniture ordered without batting an eyelid.

Ditto. I read the hobbit when I was about 8 and have loved it ever since. then lord of the rings a couple years later, it boggled me at age 8 so had to come back to it. Love all that stuff

I had another bash at Mein Kampf recently. I figured that seeing as sixty million people lie in their graves on account of what's in it, it's a book that should be read by everybody.

I did finish it, but still can't really make head nor tail of it. It's truly a bizarre rant.

Read "the wheel of time" series by Robert Jordan, first book is called "the eye of the world" make sure you have time though as it's 14 books long and a bit consuming ...don't let the first 100 pages out you off as it starts slightly slow but is a real epic
 
I remember buying some weird s**t from scewfix to remove silicone it like melted it . had be pal come round in the end and sort it but still some shitty bits lol

Well I've plastered the other rooms and they've come out ok, and most off those walls are going to be papered over so they didn't need to be perfect.

If I was doing the house up to sell it I'd get the pros in.

We did get a pro in to do the hall walls because i was finding it tricky and as it's the first thing you see i wanted it too look good.
 
Beautiful finish, what paint did you use for your ceiling as it looks slightly glossy?

Also, why a white towel rad when a chrome one would have been more suited? Same with the downlighters

It needs a woman's touch, I'll send the reich over after she's finished bossing me round

Mate, don't even go there lol. I renovated the property top to bottom. Didn't know wtf I was doing apart from plastering (debatable) finished bathroom and thought was looking good, then wrote it off with silicone
