I was just putting the argument out there that if you had a mega mixer,and using 3 bags a day.i bet ud get 20-25 years out of it,in the meantime you bought 10 shitty paddle mixers

my argument against top dollar tools is ive had so much gear nicked out the van and out of containers over the years imo its better to have something that doesnt look like a good weekend to a smackhead... i buy the makita 150 quid twinpack rattle gun and drill every couple of years... about the best thing ive got is my hitachi router and even thats not a trend.... milwaukee can f**k off... my chopsaws a bnq 120 quid job and i calibrated it myself and it does just as good a job as owt else wi right blade in on kitchen cornice... ive got a 10 year old makita plane 3mil rebate job again not top dollar but good enough for pro work...
buy what you need... as mentioned its the nut on the end of the handle that does the job, not the tool itself...

A know a lot more about decent clobber than you, you debt ridden sweaty!
Trust me my vans a little beauty and it’s professionally sign written (and all paid for) so you will never have the pleasure of laying you’re beady little eyes on it.
Plus I’m not a massive cock like you posting pictures of a van to complete strangers on the internet begging for praises. Lol
You are a proper messy c**t in graft and definitely out of it too! :risas: :tanguero:

Little beauty? What is it a corsa? No wonder it’s not

I’d hire team sweaty in a sportvan before I’d hire cockney boy in his wee cheap van with trotters trading on the side. You enjoy ya cheapness. There’s a drink I’ll recommend to you called buck fast. Right up your cheap street

I dont get the van significance? I've a new van but subbed lads for all sorts of jobs over the years and the age of their Van's never been of much significance. I'll have a look at reviews etc that's much more important....you know in the first half hour if someone's decent as they set up...good van or rusty tranny..and that's not just plastering for all trades I've dealt with

In the private sector it’s about first impressions and getting one foot in the door , on big sites no one knows if u drive a roller or a Skoda

You don't need a spread sheet to take 30% off of 60 and 600. Well I hope you don't.
May aswell spend an extra £380? No not really ha

Yeah I agree to a point but it's a funny balance...skimming a ceiling they want the rust bucket cos they want you to be cheap...big project they want a nice van to show your established and gives them a bit of ease that your good

A bullseye to tosh out a complete gaff? :LOL: :risas:

you used one? they only mist coat em cos you cant patch into a sprayed finish with a roller or brush and then it gets cut in and coloured with a roller and brush afterwards.... you can blat a room out in ten minutes with the right machine.... the screwfix version aint worth buying cos the thrust bearings go on em and you cant get em to replace em...
 
tell you what else as well... thats what improvers are for cos it shows up every single tiny little stripe and hollow the one shot site bashers missed...

Little is a turn of phrase to me and doesn’t actually mean little unlike the size of you’re cock! you cheap arse, debt up to you’re eyeballs sweaty! Lol
What would you know about sign writing? There’s nothing professional about you at all.
T.R.A.M.P!

i reckon so yeh.. i aint done it personally but i know the process..

i bought the 300 quid machine out of screwfix for refurbs and once you set up just go... go... 18" spray pattern with a big enough tub of watered down matt white same sort of speed you spray a car at maybe 2 inch overlap.. get good at it... yeh, doable... 350 quid a day?

my cheap machine turned out to be the entry level diy job, i bought it cos a decorator working for another team doing refurbs was flying and he looked after his machine better... you do have to clean em properly or they gum up and thats whats fucks the shitty thrust bearing in a cheap machine... theyre called an airless sprayer cos it just pumps the juice up the line without a compressor using kind of a circular cam on said bearing that drives a lil piston... get a half decent machine and youre laffin.. wagner make em

was gonna suggest id want a onner a plot and slow down a bit but if thats what sites are paying and get a young lad on it he should be able to make it pay..

How long would it take you to get set up, prep and mask up in each plot then?

Appreciate the links is he trowel finishing or spray then sanding following day I'm assuming?
Click to expand...

Sanding next day...good money in ceilings can easily do between 6 and 8 in a day....all you have to do is mask the perimeter. Mask and spray day 1...half day sand and tidy up day 2.

Sanding is basically 0 dust with good extractor and you can get a Festool attachment to do corners don't have to be 90 degrees
 
So we’ve had battles over vans and whisks, what about boots ???

what would you think if a spread wore these bad boys
