The strange thing is her kids have left home so she lives alone

Playing catch up yesterday had a kitchen ceiling to do, went for a piss and this was on the wall, never seen anything like it?

Good work how many times did you hit your head? Yeah a couple of times underneath the rafters!!!!

Nice work mate, made me feel inferior now,

Took a bit of scraping and sweeping!!!

Finished this today, had to make the capping also, took a bit longer than originally thought!!

Just out of interest, what size jobs would this suit, i work alone and dont take on massive projects, im just finishing a loft today, would it have been suitable for something like that?

Do you spray and trowel up on your own?

I've got the same spat and prefer it to the speedskim any day, i find the speedy takes material off, same technique with the spat and its fine, im going to use it through the whole set next week, try and finish with it.

Yes, i used it on a flank wall on a hsl job couple of weeks ago, good stuff.

Ask on a carpenters forum. Lol They're not as friendly as you lt! (Lot) damn text!

Which is the problem, the last place you want any movement is at the joint because as soon as it does it becomes weak. Timber expands, contracts and moves along it's length and that's where it needs to be contained. So with a tight joint the movement doesn't weaken the structure or become...

There's two schools of thought on that , yeah screws are great for repositioning, but nails are quucker and allow a bit more flexibility expansion contraction etc,

I'll keep you posted on it, i was inclined to get it with the thought of no servicing, gas smell etc.

Ooooh!

I took the plunge and got the Paslode imc60, very nice bit of kit, also splashed out on the Milwaukee 18v 2nd fix nail gun, see how that goes!!

But m class Hoover will save your lungs (y) Yeah i know, ive got one, just thinking of a quick alternative to the knife he's using.

After a bit of searching i found this, bit cheaper than an m class hoover, its from Hardie boards, had it years,

Yes mate totally agree with you, just hope the other fella does too.

Is it not sagging because its 12.5mm boards and not got noggins in The noggins are there to prevent deflection and twist in the joists, won't affect your ceiling

Just got the roof to felt, the doors to make then take it apart and deliver it, i think im frickin' mad!!!!

Cheers for the offer, pva it is!

Thanks, bit far for me the job is in godalming

I think my family are using me! A bike shed for my niece

Here's last week's project i built for my one year old grandson, I've painted it since then.

Further to a post on a quote i gave six months ago, i went for another look at the job yesterday to refresh my memory, there's some extras to be added but my main concern is the plasterboard thats been up for about a year, it's a loft conversion, whoever did the job tacked it then the builder...

Thanks for all your replies and experience!

The Makita one comes with a 3 year service and cleaning package! The de walt is very expensive, nearly double the price!

This ones for the multi traders and especially Imago who is the font of knowledge, I'm looking to buy a first fix nail gun, I've got an air gun and compressor but it's not good enough, I'm undecided between the Paslode which is the obvious choice , but looking at the Makita they're getting good...

I didn't say that would happen, i said materials were on top of the labour quote

Thanks for all your replies, i think i'll revisit the site and reassess accordingly,

I priced a loft conversion to plaster in May, heard nothing till this morning, can i give a date to start as soon as possible? Tbh I'd long given up on it and forgot about it. Is it right for the customer to think it's the same price? materials were on top as they've gone up anyway.

Yep, quality doesn't come cheap, don't see those down at Lidl

Hope your insurance policy is good!! Some expensive tools !

Quality bit of kit, can you extend the rail? I've got the festoil track saw and three lengths of rail.

I've gone all Tommy Walsh with some braces (suspenders) for our American visitor, i hate having my pants pulled down!! (At work anyway)

I'm looking at the Milwaukee 18v 216mm mitre saw, looks compact and light.

What's the most recent tool you've bought? Mine's a new tenon saw, and a smoothing plane. I love buying tools, i can see the buzz women get out of buying shoes!!

Nice belt, i love a tool belt!!

No glue, no clue?

Just built an 8m long stud wall in a garage on Thursday, breather membrane, insulation and osb sheathing.

Wash it down with some ale old sport (y) Couple of Guinness washed it down, unfortunately it had to come out mid-morning in the customers house, looked like a bucket of eels! He used the toilet straight after, bit awkward

Im a Plasterpenter. I've done two years retraining as a carpenter, not sure about where you live but round here it's about £60/70 per socket to move! Go for it, you seem a pretty switched on bloke (pardon the pun)

Got stuck in traffic on the way to Selco this morning so started the day with a McDonald's breakfast, I've had e all butter chocolate cookies at tea break, just had a cheese panini from the customers, f**k it, curry tonight, might as well keep rolling!
