Come on Spunky lets be honest, there are very, very few spreads that can do 104m2 (or two that do 208m2) to a decent standard day in day out. And although I've only sprayed a small area of skimming I do know that the gear ends up on the wall with very very little effort. That for me is a very good reason to lay out £9000, you only lay it out the once and then your body has an easier time.
 
nice vid mate but here is my critice like spunky says it aint anything special a 2-1 would piss that with someone goin in front filling out also who is going back to pick up the reveals :) Another thing that pisses me off, my mate used to do it when i was training him is moving his trowel 2 inches when trowelling and its 12 inches long. your mates looked bigger and he was moving it 3 inches also that massive speedskim he wasnt getting the benefit moving it less than halfway, also this vid will get some hits coz it is impressive sort out the spelling errors it spoils it for picky ***** like me xxxx
 
Nice vid Steve, we haven't even used our powercoat yet, we have a nice job coming up begining of April that should see it getting used a bit. I'm hoping it will make my life easier, I want to be the +1 that sprays and labours, in which case makes it money well spent :RpS_thumbup:

its freezing cold Andy and the job looks a creamer if you did that by hand you wouldn't just do one wall and one of the walls is all windows, if you count the tapes and take out the windows its not 208m id say more 80 per room
 
you started spraying around 10am, did 200 m2 and finished by 2pm. 4 Hrs total. Thats 200 mts in half a day That's good going in my book and 2 spraying sets is quite easily achievable by starting at 8 am. I agree with spunk that a plasterer will lay 2 of those big walls a set and complete a room in 2 sets but that would be 5 hrs min based on a set at 8,10 and 1pm for a further set taking the total to a room and a half for a full day or 3 rooms a day for a 2+1 (its worth bearing in mind that the sets may not go as quick as normal by hand because you are laying on more than an average 25-30m2 a set) by gaining a room a day thats about 500m2 a week which you could call profit
 
Nice one Steve , very proffesional , nice to seevids like that mate, always good to promote the trade in such a proffesional manner, good for us all in the long run

Whatever the measurement is it's still goes on with less effort with the Ritmo than it does by hand. I used to do good metreages but it was no stroll in the park and I wish I'd had a Ritmo back then.
 
No you wouldn't Andy you'd be saying the same, its a couple of decent sets on a good job with good site conditions
 
And you wouldn't need a labourer so it would be cheaper by hand?.....do 208m in a 3 bed with curved ceilings, dormers, cupboards poxy bathrooms and every coont in you're wahey man

cant stand working without a labourer, i dont carry buckets of water for no fukka dear elisa
 
I think we should embrace the fact that currier plastering are trying to move forward in the internal plastering . After all I think we can agree that plastering is a very labour intensive game and by the end of a working week you are dead on your feet . Everything has to move forward and skimming as been stuck in the dark ages for years it hasn't changed from the first day I started 36 years ago the only thing that's changed is the tools we mix it with . I take my hat of to you for moving this game forward and I also wish these new tools were around years ago I would embraced them with open arms . Speed skim plastic trowels and skimming machines the new tradition .
 
Great film Curry you keep at it no matter what anyone says you will get better and better :-) i also watched a few other of you films , who is the Gray hair ? ( said in an I****n Accent ) lol......

Well said Les ,only talking to Gemma today ,more r/s
 
At 9 grand and being able to do it by hand I can't see what there is too embrace, fair enough bucket coats and mono where the finish is better and you don't have to finish but not skimming

no you're missus would if you spent that money on something you use to skim, skimmings not hard mate and that video looked good because the job was a creamer
 
Spunky the £9000 you speak of is for the whole setup, Powercoat, render conversion, generator and VAT. Oh and some spares.
The VAT we get back and the genny is hardly going to get used so will last. And once we really get the hang of it rendering will be so much easier, in fact on the days we've used it properly it already has. I also believe that once into a routine that skimming will be easier to, how can it not be you're cutting out the putting on, saving your energy for trowelling up.
 
This is the way I see it, for me anyway.
It's not about earning as much money as possible and burning my body out, I earn good money, my lads earn good money. We have a machine there to chuck in the van when its needed, to make life easier hopefully for all of us.
 
No I don't at all I can tell you all own though because you're having a wank over someone doing a bit of skimming with one, Jenks that's where I got the 9 grand from
