    To get a labourer or not

    You need to ask yourself a few questions. How long have you been in the trade? Can you pass on anything to them? Can you afford to pay them each week or month? Have you thought about your insurance etc.

    High top transit or VW transporter

    LDV Maxus are good vans. I've had mine a few years now and will swear bt them. It's never let me down. And it's quite uncommon. You don't see many on the road.

    Positive paddle

    Am i missing something here? Why don't manufacturers put a reverse gear on the mixers and then any paddle could be either positive or negative, your preference. That's right isn't it?

    nobhead customer

    I don't understand. Did you not have his telephone number in your diary from when you went to quote the job? Why didn't you phone him in front of this guy? Something strange there.

    spreading faster

    There is no trick to getting more metreage on. Preparation, preparation, preparation! Have all your gear set up. All your bags out ready. All your water on hand. Clean your tools as you go.

    SBR or Rend Aid

    Hi there. I've just introduced myself in the newcomer section. I have a very small area to render. It's 1.4 metres by 2.2 metres high. It's been done in dense concrete block half way up and then celcon lightweight block for the other half above that. Strange. I was thinking about scudding...

    Hi

    Thanks lads. Well I did sell non-staus mortgages. Hands up. I was a packager for several companies: Kensington, Soouthern Pacific, Future, to name a few. The rates were higher admittedly, but they were no questions asked. A lot of self-employed and developers were able to get morgages with no...

    Hi

    Hi lads. My name is Dave from Chester. I'm 35, married with three kids. I used to be a mortgage broker until the crash in 2007. After that I was unemployed for a year and then I retrained as a plasterer. It was more or less part time at first but the past year or two things have really picked...
