Our council recycle centre has a lorry container for plasterboard which is free for everyone. When it is full it goes back to British Gypsum.

You would be lucky to get £30 for that lot!

At the first sight of any trouble the banks will run for cover. Calling in overdrafts.

Things local are very slow I keep thinking about retiring, then the phone rings. I had the offer of some work in the city of London, day work making good on a new 51 story tower block. £50 per hour. I dont want to be on the 6am train every morning. My granddaughter who is a solicitor tells me...

I would get rid of the plaster ceiling rose. Overboard the ceiling making sure that the plasterboard spans the crack on the ceiling and then skim the plasterboard. Forget about the payment to this other chancer dont chase good money after bad.

What I have found with a plastering firm is that you either have to have a very small or very large workforce. The small firm can pick and choose their work and the large firms can charge high prices as they have numbers to carry out large contracts.

You do need to go supply and fix only so as to get a return on the materials. Collecting the payments from the builders was hard work and every week the boss was in court taking action against them for large sums of money.

Essex board or Tintest board It was made at the Airscrew Way roc works at Marks Tey. The local councils would use it upstairs as it was cheaper then plasterboard. At one time British Gypsum manufacture plasterboard with a layer of polythene imbedded in the board to produce a vapour barrier.

Years ago we had to use vaper barrier plasterboard on flat roof ceilings. They have disappeared.

To lower the VAT rate I think that it will increase the black market and increase inflation.

Most likely a soot stain that has bled through the plaster.

All joints should be continues dab. This has been standard practice for a few years now.

Failed to control suction.

Why did you purchase a tyrollean gun for? You need to employ a proper plasterer.

It all depends on the type of work that is being under taken. Small works 1 man . Large areas 4 plasterers 2 labs. Housing 2 tradesman.
