Found screwfix erbauer to be good for the price. Got a few sizes, must of done at least 40 holes with the 8mm in tough porcelain tiles, for about £15 I think that's good.

I have the big clinker pro. It's pretty good, don't do loads of tiling but have used it for some tough porcelain tiles. Just a note, the version in screwfix is a cheap version, need to get it from topps for the proper one.

Much better when customer goes out for the day, can have a proper rummage through the knicker draw in peace

I changed over to the blue blade and found it better for sand and cement, not used on skim. It's stiffer...

I got a nearly new henry for £10, lady selling it said it kept cutting out. It was just a blocked hose

Titan tools have a 2 year guarantee. We use the titan £50 breakers and change them every few months for a new one no questions asked.

Is there penetrative damp? If not then the tanking is pointless.

Should have pre grit or similar on artex. Went to look at 25m ceiling today, heavy artex, water damaged and she's a smoker. Said no chance I'm skimming it, overboard is only option and friendly advice if anyone says it's fine to skim just be warned that it can fail.

Have been in this situation 3 times before, I advised the contractor that any cracks from shrinkage etc would not be down to me and he still wanted it done. 2 of them were fine and the other had a few cracks, but got paid to go and repair cracks so wasn't fussed.

To be fair I've had some good jobs off rated people. I haven't used it for months so should cancel it as got some good contacts recently. You just need to filter out the customers who want everything for nothing. They have changed it recently so when customer enters job it tells them recent jobs...

Transit is cheap. I have a mwb semi high top and would say its perfect size. However the rust is an issue, mine is 05 and not too bad but saying that I will get another transit. Also one of the cheaper vans to insure - for me anyway.

Take plenty of pics then at least you have proof if any cracks appear etc

Troweling up will be fun, just sit on the handrail at the top and whizz down with trowel on wall

Had this recently, me and the lab. The lady stood there all day saying how she loves watching plasterers then when the lab went to mix some gear she tried taking the bucket trowel to feed me! I said I'd better go out with him to mix as she was driving me nuts. Don't mind the odd minute watching...
