I'm not shooting anyone down at all, I have just had a few things pulled by contracts managers far less than it and had to redo the panels, you are correct they are not easy to get them straight especially when the lintle is off to start with

I take it there is a couple of other larger panels then for it to amount up to 8k either that or I'm seriously undercutting myself

All down to money john, Graham doesn't have a big company now. Mik isn't there anymore as he was the one who ran the machine. We done that block by hand in the end, the health and safety was nuts with the double handrails having to stay in. We walked away after that, they can keep the site, to...

What ! like a dog's back leg. How can squint beading be a bang on job, I don't mean the detail on the bead I mean the straightness of the thing

Nice finish, bead on top of window is bad and so Is the join between the beads on the dpc, a fussy customer would make you take them off and redo the panel. I would anyway.

I can get a nice finish with one coat. How are doing it. You need to straighten it then sponge float to get the water up. Then polish it. Multi is pish, bf a lot better

Do I put the rota and stata together before I fit them to the machine guys. I'm going to put the green one on now. Half the speed of the one that's on. Gotta be worth a try

Ah that sounds good. Does that stop the sausages every time I turn air off. Not that I do it much just at end of lifts and when the hoses get caught on scaffold

Wish I had time to go through to falkirk, will finish it by hand and then give the squad a visit next week and spend a day or 2 helping them and learning the proper way it should be done, tell me pft Wales do you spray your bands and panels at the same time then dash the panels and then rub the...
