Always try to leave a minimum 5mm gap behind upvc door hinges so the plasterer can get his trowel on

Only use them on reveals if margins differ.

Dump run, hedge trimming and then out on trials bike for a bit.

The board manufacturers will say 12.5 is ok, but there is still quite a bit of flex if there is no noggin. 15mm would be better to use. Some pozi-joist are 150mm so in essence, the unsupported span is only 450mm

Progress . They are skimming it now. Thank f**k for that .

I only work for rich people.

I have absolutely no idea. I never go into pubs.

Been up cleaning since early doors. Sold my KTM this week so now trawling the internet for a trials bike.

Will do. We start in a couple weeks. Just to wear you out, here’s the job I’m on at the moment. It’s a conversion of some old church rooms into 4 maisonettes.

Not anymore. Don’t do enough of it so sold them

It’s on a farm next to a load of sheds and stuff, but on its own in a decent plot, probably a couple million

No. I have 3 other blokes on. But we have other work on, so there will be 2 on this job and 2 elsewhere

I f**k**g hate taping now, but I’m getting a good rate, so I’ll do it. They want to keep the moisture down with all that oak around.

That’s just the main house. There’s a garage / flat too.

Going to be busy for a day or two. Board and tape/joint.

That’s a photo of a Dulux colour card

Phone’s gone mental this week

If you zoom in, you can see Neil Armstrong in the 6th photo. He’s waving from the rim of a crater.

Very well. It’s great on the thicker cellotex as it cuts straight and true, and with the smoother blade on slab. Thinner cellotex is quicker with a hand saw. Glad I bought it.

School conversion, Mullion.

Plus, having coloured hair makes you automatically mental.

I take it you’re studying Psychology because you’re mental?

Hired a mini digger and dumper to dig out a base for a workshop. Couldn’t have picked a weekend with worse weather. Treated myself to a takeaway roast from the local pub for tea today though.

Busy as f**k . No let up.

Are you in detention?

Just for a change

I’m f**k**g turning work away

I use the Nela s*p*r*lex for jointing and its sound.

Get yourself something else to focus on. My mrs was doing a bottle of wine a night during the week, and a bottle of gin on the weekend. She went to the doctors to be told she was pre-diabetic. She bought a swimming pool and has lost 3 1/2 stone in as many months. We are having a garden building...

Might be a Pontiac

Big money in holiday let’s here in Cornwall. My partner was getting £1100 a week for her 2 bed mid terrace overlooking Falmouth harbour.

Was just here laughing at they scenario, and my other half asked me what I was laughing at.

The green lid fill and finish is like flint when it sets

Easifill is just as expensive as Smartmix. Use BG joint fillet for first coat, and finish with Smartmix (2 coats)

Rough as f**k

I’m thinking about winding down and de-registering. Can’t be f**k*d with this MTD b*ll***s.

Yes, and also for rad brackets and where the stair string is.

Sounds like a scene from a Laurel and Hardy film. Have you got a bowler hat and a Hitler moustache by any chance?

Angle City again!!! Talk about sweaty arse syndrome!

f**k**g hell. Good luck getting that corrected. You’re in for a f**k**g argument.

We used to soak the paper tape for Artex, but not when taping.

Just get some Cotina and Anaglypta, or push the boat out and get some Super Fresco. That’ll be fine.

50mm thermal board on sloping ceilings and around dormers.

My lad bought one for keeping his dogs cool too

Been at an enduro practice track since 9. It’s f**k**g boiling.

Glossed fascia board on the studio. Now hanging a new door to the lounge. Just having a cuppa and a roll up. It never ends here.

Rates are pretty good down here to be fair.

Done a massive dump run, van full to top. Fitted two new toilet seats. Put a kitchen unit door back on after removing integrated fridge. Put up new kitchen light. Tidied up after messy roofers finished. Tidied and organised van ready for tomorrow. About to clean and lube the chain on my KTM...

Who the f**k uses trains except city c**ts?

Last day of the festival today. Home tomorrow night. Back to work Wednesday .
