I've got £12 1/2k of plant cover included in my business insurance, which is enough to cover the Ritmo genny and my cement mixers, the whole lot was only £430 all in.

It is mint, its sprayed wetter then multi, picks up after 10 mins so u flatten it off before that , then can be finished in 1hr 50mins but can still be sorted out later if need be.
For over skims if mixed thicker i still stiffens in 10 mins so you can go back over it a new coat and its nice.

As much as I'd love to, I really can't afford to stop. If the prices ever go back up, I will definatley be stopping for breaks.

About twenty years ago my old man came to subby some houses of me, we just happened to be doing the same type of house and started on the same day. He worked from 8 til 4 just as he always had but I worked from 7.30 til at least 5 every day, and yet he finished his house a day quicker than me. I said to him that I couldn't see where I was losing the time, and he just replied, "you're totally ******, I look at you every morning and you still look tired from the previous day and you're just getting slower and slower. You need to cut your hours back". And that's just what I did, I cut back to working 8 til 4 with a half hour break at about 10 and again at 1. It took about three months until I was rattling the houses out at the same or quicker times than my dad, but it's a lesson I've never forgotten. Stay fresh and move quickly, apart from working in a methodical manner, speed of hand is what makes a fast spread IMO.
Should have the genny by next week so we'll get the Ritmo buzzing after Xmas.

Andy I'd love to come down and see it spraying finish. Especially with it been a real world situation.
You could also teach me the 'break' you mention

Teaching someone how to have a break is easy, teaching them how to get up and back at it afterwards ain't so easy!
I'm going to take that as a vote of confidence that we wont do the same:RpS_cool:
