    Vans

    I had Citroën before small van 11 plate. I switched to vivaro 17 plate and I love it. Loads more room, false floor at the back and I can slide around 20 sheets of plasterboard underneath, got a hatch for things that are 3m long.

    Apprentice getting to work

    Push bike and meet half way if far or cycle to yours and go from there. They even got these electric scooters now. I used to take a bus to my gaff and when I passed my test drove to his every day.

    Advice on render to use on timber framed house.

    Rendering on ply is always got its risks of cracking, best option is to use insulation screwed to the ply and then go with silicone system over the top. I personally wouldn't entertain it any other way. Either that or use cladding and problem solved

    £5,000 for 2 small bedrooms ?

    So is he on price or day rate ? 2 days for each bedroom seems fair enough to get it too really good standard. What's going on with the fireplace? Why is he dictating how much you should charge if you the owner of the company lol

    Site work northwest

    £220 for a builder and getting in direct from customer is not bad at all. I'm earning nearly double that on private jobs, so for a steady income that's a good going imo. His boarding most of the times is bang on, I finish at 1 I still get a whole wage in, plus I get his discounts in merchants...

    Site work northwest

    I got it quite sweet with my builder. Doing lofts £220 direct from customer. Gives me around 60% of my work. Then I'm off to do my own jobs which are obviously better pay. Stress free really. Pick and choose.

    What is the best render option for this extension?

    You got few options, sand and cement like someone mentioned, basecoat with mesh, either rubbed up smooth or with silicone on top or k rend. I'd personally go the silicone way if it was my house but thats just my preference. Id order some samples from different brands like eco rend, ewi, k rend...
