I do different kind of finance, where I own my van at the end. Like this one, £200 a month. Tax deductible. I'm not silly and don't want anything flashy, just a steady work horse bud.

Shall I give it to the tax man instead then? I rather have decent van, that I know it'll last me with only basic maintenance and start up every morning mate. Claim all the finance against the tax

That's what I thought, I mean you can get stuff delivered to site or job now days but the whole planning ahead would do me tits in over time I think. Looks like van it is

Hi, my van is gonna be paid off this October so was wondering what to get next. I always liked pickup trucks, wondering if anyone uses one to do plastering? If so how you getting on? Cheers

I bed it after the 10mmish first coat and then tight 5mm over the top. The closer to the face the less chances of it cracking.

Once done it's another way of protecting it from cracking that's one, two it helps with doing it in two passes, I normally do first pass at around 10mm thick, mesh, then nice and tight 5mm over the top.

I'd go 15mm beads, I normally do one pass and bed mesh to it then second pass wet on wet and rub up.

Just bead it around again and blend it in. Anything else will look s**t and take you same amount of time lol

Builder I work for gets everything from Jewsons. I once spotted nice ox hawk whilst picking up materials and was just gonna pay for it when mate at checkout said he'll give me my Builders discount... I had that hawk for £10, I was a bit shocked , but he is highest spending builder in my city. I...

You got to always prime your basecoat before silicone top coat. That basecoat primer needs to be dry and cured too.

I used my 9ah on my 18v impact and multi tool and works OK but heavy. Also if you register with dewalt you get 2 years warranty and the fast charger that comes with you can charge your other dewalt batteries in like 15 min as its fast charger

Just bite the bullet and get the dewalt one. I can't fault it at all, it's a game changer and pays itself off within few couple of jobs. As far as I heard other people trying out different brands like makita etc the dewalt ones are by far best.

Friends of ours went there last September. They said the hotel was amazing, really hot and all that, they liked it but they said antalya airport is absolutely shocking, very busy and unorganised. I'm off to Tunisia in August and to Poland in months time. Can't wait.

I was never a fan of rendering all the way to the floor, I normally get a stop bead and put something of the same thickness and plant the beads on that and once set can be pulled out. 9.5mm plasterboard offcut or something like that. I really like using ocr on the garden walls, plastic beads.

Since January I'm fully booked good month in advance, which I'm happy with as one man band, any more than that and it starts getting stressful and people don't want to wait. I guess it depends where you based...
