hacking off old houses

dont forget to get the washing in ;)
 
i got 2 5kg makita breakers.

There is so much scope for f**k ups on these jobs .... as i said all the lintels are rotten the reveals have crumbled to bits etc etc

spent the day pulling my hair out
 
is it down to you rich to fix lintels? and would you fix them your self ie prop up and slap in concrete replacement?
 
why do bombs need big clocks? And why do they always make a beeping noise so they can be found 2 seconds before it goes BANG
 
I bought a makita breaker for 200 notes on a recommendation on here and I might as well have used my electric toothbrush to hack off with :'( Great for tiles etc but hard render, forget it. Hired a couple of bosch hammers, piece of cake
 
Big clocks are easier to wind up and the buzzer is so you know to put your fingers in your ears, everyone knows that :D :D

Its not something I would do pal I would sub it off to a good builder but get the client to sort them out directly unless they really wanted an all in package.
Did you get the PM
 
are dads a builder mate just trying to understand the work involved so if it crops up i can see the costs involved. yup just sent one bk 2!

Its normally ok up until the xmas break than after new yr we try not to do any rendering in jan and feb But this yr was so bad we were nearly in april before we were up and running.

lost a big job because of it due to the programme being a febuary the 25th completion? I asked them who in construction dreamt that schedule for rendering works? they thought i was being sarky an give the job to someone else So I said 'your not interested in quality then' needles to say we have not heard from them again. but you remember in feb there was 10 inches of snow on the ground


I looked a a barn conv last month that was rendered this winter and the whole thing needs hacking off and starting again that will cost him thoushands
 
Remember this
hacking off old houses


it's the one started by a builder a couple of years ago, and we was asked to put it right, well we told him we wouldn't work sort of nov to feb on externals , but the guy was desperate to get it done , so we started it at the back end off Nov , started by clearing all the (german word) he had left (4 skips) started snowing a week later , and we ended going back in March this year to finish it.

Been trying to get back to take some photo's on a nice sunny day , but been too busy
We did the drive also , cos he was so concerned about gettin another builder in

They are plastic cladding strips, he wanted the house to look how it did originally and decided to tell us this after we had finished fitting the new soffits, fascia and rendered it, or we could off just incorporated the feature in the render !!

The whole house is pissed Rich , the previous builder re built the front gable and made a right b*ll***s off it ,also the stack on the right was re built and it was nearly two inches outa plumb over 7' all the windows are in pissed, we had a night mare on this job.
some of the s**t left by the previous guy
