Multi fuel stove in a fireplace. Tiled on the inside of the fireplace. Boarded and plastered to a stop bead on the front of fireplace. This has cracked along the full bead on both sides assumingly due to heat from the fire. I'm here doing the extension but the owner has asked me to sort this...
Anyone got a dewalt battery staple gun. In the market for a stapler and so far most manual guns are crap. It's a bit pricey but if it makes the task easier then worth the money
Used same gear from ceiling to do my outdoor kitchen. Just need to source a decent resin hardner to put on the worktop to toughen it up. Looks pretty but won't last 5 minutes if I don't
Been catching Mackerel off the boat using a cheap stermat rod and reel. Wanting to catch a bass. What's kind of rod would I need. Also does the gear need to be different when getting wet with sea water
Anyone else starting to experience material issues. Couldn't get beads this week, all TP had was hook ons. Said they aren't expecting anytime soon. Was also told in there plaster expected to rise but to 20% in January. Cement is up 22% already apparently due to fuel, drivers etc etc.
Going to get a dewalt auto feed and there is one with yellow handle and one with a black handle. Cant seem to find out out difference if any. Any one have any idea
Went off Anglesey on Saturday. Top day with a bit of rain in the afternoon. Caught an abundance of dog fish, couple of bollusc and mate caught a red Gurnard.
Built a garden room. Wrapping walls and ceiling with 8x2 T&G moisture resistant floor sheets. Roof is getting GRP. Originally was going to clad the walls with timber but our peg now likes render. So can render be applied directly to the wood with a grit primer and mesh or is it a no go. Open to...
Day out last weekend in northwich. Good day. Birroeed some gear off my pal. Caught 12 fish. Not a clue what was what. This was biggest thing I got. Anyone sellng a course rod?
Anyone had it done. Looking at options at the minute and this is one of them but I don't know anything about it other than each companies own personal selling points
So the fish probably aren't arses about time of year and temperature etc but other than standing out in the cold is this time of year still good for getting the rod out. There is a small chance of getting out for a day on weekend but if fish are like birds and fly South for the winter is the...
So it's been a bit of a process and a learning curve but I've finally finished the centre piece of the house ready for the log burner. It's a compass in micro cement and a little Venetian plaster. I created my slab from concrete and stone then made the top smooth and neat with a bit of self...
So I'm putting in a multi fuel stove. It's in the centre of my gaff so It will be double fronted with glass to living room and dining on the other side. On the internal fire place walls I have boarded them but someone mentioned to me that even with a porcelain tile the heat could remove the...
Been using a twitcher more and more lately working in wet angles. This morning I finally managed 4 walls on one hit plus the window reveals. Only a 2 bag bathroom bathroom and ceiling didn't need doing but I got it done in one. The edges came up alright too. Had to brush and trowel them...
So here's the latest addition to TPF. Thought I'd share my latest purchases then. Got a box from fleabay to store bits and hopefully anything caught and got some mackeral bait from tackle shop near me yesterday
Started a job today. (Yes I know it's Sunday but busy as fook) will be fitting it in between other work as it's not to far from home. Will put pictures up of the process. Started today with a 4 hour session consisting of mainly prep work. Sheeting up the area including floor and fixings such as...
Cant remember who was getting bored of grey Venetian jobs the other week. I felt the same as it's all most customers want for the last year or so. Anyway this week I got 2 colour numbers. One for a fireplace shop and one for a fireplace job so here they are
Thought I'd put some finished pics in the appropriate section. All waxed and buffed. What a grueller of a job but great satisfaction in the finished result. 124 sq metres
On a Venetian ceiling in knutsford this week. Decent size lid at 90 metres. Have to say whoever plastered the lid before we started did a great job. Probably the best I've been on to. Anyone here take credit?
Firstly today I did a good deed. My very good friend did a short weekend plastering course as he works for a basement conversion company and wants to learn more skills to get involved in more of the work. Albeit it was a 2 day course and i said he would be better in the long run doing something...
Just got a call from a company called prestige building supplies in Rochdale, Manchester. Offering 100 skim bead and 50 litres of pva for 99 quid plus vat. Incentive for setting up an account with them. If anyone is interested ask for Chelsea 0161 393 3060
My mates house. He's after someone to go and give him a price. Any takers drop your number on here and he'll call you direct. Currently got some pebble dash on. He's not arsed about what it gets rendered in as the house will be rented or sold
Just got a call asking for venetian externally for a chimney. Explained the difficulties of venetian outdoors. The lady wants a flat smoothfinish in a colour. She doesnt want a scratched or stipple k rend. Who can I pass her number on to?
Started this little number in Oxford St London on Thursday. Adidas store. All floors turned from Tiles into microcement. 400 metres in basement that gets finished tomorrow. Then 2 more floors to go at.
Morning all. TPF was built for plasterers about anything related to plastering. Over the years the forum has asked and answered pretty much every question regarding plaster and surrounding topics. Tied together with an abundance of photos, so to set things off for the coming year I'm writing a...
So who can do what. Are you a solid spread or can your skills extend to all areas. Do you specialise to one area. For this om not asking what you can do but what you actually do day to day. If you can plaster and render in and out but only render externally mon to Fri then tick the external...
Been given a horse for tomorrow. It's showing 33/1 so I'm not fully convinced but I can never help but betting on a tip. Not that many tips ever win

Talking with a lad today about setting plaster off faster using dirty water etc. Question came up about hard and soft water and if it makes any difference to plaster working times. Anyone any thoughts
Anybody know how long gypsum 12.5mm pink fire board is rated to in minutes. Need 60 min fire separation and not sure if single or double birding is required
Anyone want to stick their name to this. The job is in Warwickshire. Not sure if exact address but it's a new build house near Hatton.
it's a fckin disgrace. The whole house has been plastered by a tw@. How am I supposed to put a polished stucco on this When the thickness of the...
Mate told me about paddy power offer on the golf so I rang up registered and placed a bet. They have triple odds and paying top seven places on each way on the open before it all starts. Max bet 50 quid or 25 each way. I got 25 each way on Rickie Fowler at 33/1. They triple the bet so my account...
Got some tape with drop down plastic protection from Ryan. Used it this week to protect an area. Worked very well and looked like a crime scene when all set up.
Very easy to put on and does a good job. Recommend it
