Too embarrassed to park it outside eh.

Used to work for a joiner,fancy t6 sport line transporter festool machinery.
Boy he knew how to charge customers he would double the money on what I would charge him

 

[Casper]

Hope you have a brick under the tyre to stop it rolling away

It dsnt matter if ur only desire is 1 bag at a time,its amateurish to not have a mega mixer..that's FACT

how long does a shitty £60-£100 mixer last for? And it's only mixing prob 3 bags a day,bet it still burns out after couple years,mega mixers last 15 years plus and there mixing 10 bags a day

Dewalt cordless are the b*ll***s not as powerful as mega mix but brilliant for site work no genie needed

Seen them pal,alot of lads have them.i refuse as I can see burnout of battery tbh then ur just left with a paddle as bats are dear as f**k,give me 110v mega mixer anyday

 

[Casper]

I think I’ll go for the £600 Dewalt. Makes sense.

Like f**k would you!

 

[Casper]

Like f**k would you!

No, I think I will. It will suit my image and more importantly my van. It would look good pulling a £600 mixer out of the top end sport van.

A lad who works for our firm just uses a normal dewalt drill with a paddle says it lasts him 5 years and only 150 he only skims and mixes 2 bags at a time but it does the job personally I'd only ever buy cordless now.suprised mega mix haven't made cordless yet.

 

[Casper]

It’s the cordless thing that appeals.

 

[Mike Harrison]

Ok then who’s got the biggest cock/mixer

Definitely not got the biggest cock

All about what it grows to,no what it sits at

Lads you won't need a mega mixer soon...spray plastering is the future...quite a few decorators round my way doing it and cutting out the spread. It's around an 8K setup...but trust me we are losing s**t loads of work to decorators right now...no messing around with PVA or Blue grit...get the sprayer out mask up and get in done. Mate of mine is spraying everything now...plastering...painting...furniture...even Upvc windows.

Bolloxs,been touted 4 years and years!! It will never kick off..hasnt now and never will.dry lining is slowing being phased out as that's a load of shite aswell

 

[superspread]

Then casper pulls mixer out

That’s when my argument falls down

Speed is in the turnaround time...my mate does a room in a day spray plaster including masking...spray paints it the next day and then on the way out says how would you like your white UPVC door and windows sprayed grey...£230 for the door not sure how much he charges for windows...no mess either

Sorry mate you are wrong it will kick off UK always slow to get with the times these systems are getting more and more efficient

99.9% certain it wont,wudnt be arsed if it did,would just mean I dont have to skim anymore

Yep thats just one of the benefits. Problem is as with all these things you will lose work if you don't move with the times.

 

[Mike Harrison]

Anyone on here use a spray machine for skimming.its got me thinking of getting one now.

 

[Nisus]

It’s like a joiner turning up to a job with black and decker tools lol would never happen

Stuart had best compromise of it,it is literally like a joiner rocking up with a black and decker drill,still does the job but it wouldn't happen

It’s nothing like it, we mix powder and water together, very basic.

 

[Mike Harrison]

Buy a 60 pound mixing drill and claim 60 back of tax man or 600 pound one and claim that back might aswel get 600 pound one

We have been doing spray painting for years...takes a day for lab to mask and then around 6 hours to spray (3 bed house) has been a really good earner. Mate of mine does spray plastering and is cleaning up...so thats the next step but the setup is 8K.

Spoke to paint sprayers on site he does about 6 houses a day at about 50 quid a plot looks like a piece of piss easy money saying that 300 quid a day isnt that good compared to some of the scabs on here

 

[Cockney]

No, I think I will. It will suit my image and more importantly my van. It would look good pulling a £600 mixer out of the top end sport van.

You’re slowly getting it you sweaty bumder, a mixer is one of the most important tools to a spread why buy cheap shite and pull up to a job in a 30 grand van? Also stop being a messy f**k*r it’s not professional!
Bit like wearing an Armani suit and wearing plimsolls with it.
