Never seen a patch done like this before

Nice one.Often get called out to do a patch only to find it's 9.5mm and I've only got 12.5mm on board.
 
Nice tip that, save cutting back to joist on a small hole like when the plumbers been punching holes to find a leak, going to make a few of them templates and would be much easier

Lol, never thought of that:muyenojado:
 
Another way if u no drill on u for smaller patches, is to cut a bit of board slightly longer than the gap and put a nail in from the back side of it, push it in and coat a drop onto it, holding it in place by the tip of the nail and once it tightens, push the nail up in.
 
Jizz mounds of expanding foam into til its forcing the ceiling down then acro it back up , then disc cut it in any uneven areas and roll another spliff while yer mate lines up the Charlie and tries to figure out which one of you ate all the acid.:estudioso:

You don't need to, just put a bit of batten in the hole and fix new board to batten, done in less than 2 minutes.

I like seeing some of your posts @Lodan because it makes me remember how i approached things when i was an apprentice, you don't know the short cuts yet and its not until someone mentions a little tip like the bit of batten trick that it changes some jobs and the first time you do it it feels like a right f**k**g win lol

I dont mean that in a patronising way, just that after 14 years there aint many little wins left so its nice to see someone like yourself find out a tip that most of us would automatically do now.
 
On a patch job I always use 9.5mm board cos gives me the rebate to work into where as if I use 12.5 it causes a load of drama and never gonna look good

Alternatively grasp the dry topside of a cow pat and move it around in a circular motion until your sure of a quick flip exposing the greeny brown freshness then launch over hedge onto ramblers.
 
O think it is a nifty way... the batten idea works well but I recon this could be quicker... I am gonna try it and see :D

You must be northern if you know that method, in the south we use gold laths gold leaf scrim and a white gold plaster

Not patronising mate, thats why I started the tips and tricks thread, everytime I find the radiator screws with my magnet I have a little smile to myself, not a million years would I have thought of that.
