    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...

    Staple guns

    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

    Shortages

    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.
