Thanks for your reply I did think it needed weep holes but the builder dissmised it and has told the customer they are not needed as it had a tanking slurry and pea gravel behind it

Thanks your input was a great help

What do you mean ?

A customer has called me explaining they had a problem with rendering done by another company and the company have said they wont come bavk and do it as its down to the landscaping company , basically it has all blown and got salt deposits coming through the retaining wall , they have said that...

Do you have to practice being a knob because you do it really well.......

Thats what i Thought jase66 , Obviously some other spreads on here have so much work that they can pick and choose.

Thank you both for your input.Each to their own i guess I find boarding pretty easy so it works for me...

Hey Malc I'm not asking if you want to do the job...! Warrior I've got it up to 7.50 he was trying his luck i think , Been doing extensions for him for a while and we turn them round pretty quick ,same old story as soon as they see you making a bit of money they want to screw you on price.

Got offered a job board and skim @£4.50 sqm i said it wasn't enough and managed to get it a £6.50 is that a fair price.....? Couple of ceilings in with that but mostly long runs of wall.....!

That looks shite...and takes ages to mix......!

I remember when my great great grandad was a plasterer there wasn't any trowels he used to spread it with an open toe sandal , mix it up with a twig in a bed pan ,get 3 sets on and still be home for 2.

I use the speed skim and spatula and get great results with it,Took a bit of getting used to the spat but well worth it.
