Unless I put joints in it.

No mate, I plastered the inside last year. I was going to render it but they want this couloured stuff now and it's not my thing. I'm hanging my trowel up next year so don't want to be starting with a machine.

That'd be up to anyone that wants to take it on, I can have another lad there.

What would you suggest? I want to S&C render it but the customer wants coloured stuff, I trawled through the forums and thought Weber seemed the favoured choice of most. I wasn't aware of it needing sealing, that might change things for them.

There might be one about 5 miles away but nothing close, I've posted about it before for something else.

Not all of it, used the green steps and my milk crate for some bits.

A quick update on this one after no interest so far. The job's obviously been delayed, the windows are going in next month and the building work not long after, so now looking at September/October if anyone's up for it. I've chopped most of the render off, will get the last bits when the...

I posted about it last year when I took that photo, the lower part was rendered 3 years ago but had failed. The customer had the receipt saying that it had been tanked in K11 and rendered. I asked why anyone would use K11 on an outside. It turned out water was getting in above and the last guys...

I've got a job to do in Caistor, Lincolnshire in Weber Pral (Chalk I think). It's quite a large house with curved frontages. I recently went to Weber and did the Mono course as I want to do things right. All quite straight forward but the one thing I came away with was the fact the job wants a...

I've been reading about the new age of plastering tools and can't wait to try something different. I've got some speedskims coming tomorrow and looking at getting a s*p*r*lex but not sure what size to go for. I've always used a 13x5 for everything, occasionally get the 11 inch out if I'm...

The problem was with the copings letting water in and running down the wall, instead of sorting that out the last guy has tanked it which has trapped all the water in for the past 3 years. The whole wall is soaked, I've just got the render off and am now taking the tanking off which is going to...

What I've wrote doesn't read right, what I meant was the fact that the tanking is there is the reason for the render failing. That the tanking is covering up something, it's turned out to be the case. Water has been getting in through copings/balustrades at the top of the wall and the tanking...

I've just bit the bullet and bought one of these, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191257326055 will update when I use it. And bought this sandblaster, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291308805638 so no more scutching either hopefully.

I've got an external rendering job to chop off and re-render. The existing render has only been on 3 years but is cracking up and boxing all over. The customer has given me the invoice showing the date but in the job description it says; "Render elevations using a Hey'di K11 tanking compound...
