Just can't see any of my clients paying it Some jobs I price I still don't get the jobs so can't see getting more work charging more but will have to see

Might have to tell the lads I'll try and charge more for jobs if I don't get no work then no work for them either

5 lads Just getting ear ache of them saying they should be on more money which I understand every1 wants to earn as much as possible but not worth all the agro if u don't make anything for all the effort

I charge out £170 per day I do alot for small builders so I give my lads £140 per day If I charge anymore i won't get the jobs Do you think this is fair

I make £30 a day out of each lad b4 tax just seeing what people think is fair

Did u go on a course or just have a go

Looks good iv never done it before was looking to get into it what products did you use

Would you do both coats of the x32 in 1 day or do it in 2 days as for the cold weather or do you think its not to cold yet If it was done over 2 days do you scratch the 1st coat as iv been told no but seems a bit not normal to me as normaly any base coat is scratched to receive the top coat ??

Hi lads Instead of putting 2x coats of ecorend x32 with mesh embedded in the 1st coat then a primer then silicon topcoat Could you put base coat of k11/ rend aid with mesh then top coat of x32 followed by primer and silicon top coat I was looking at doing this as the bricks are not the best...

Can any1 tell me the closest colour match for K rend thin coat silicon in colour linen What would it be in weber pral m scratch finish Cheers

Ocr is good aswell but is a slightly rougher finish than skim so I find cement board and fill beads and tape give the same smooth finish if painted

I cement board the whole front of the fire place tape and fill then plasterboard and skim the sides of the chimney breast

If you've got a log burner u shouldnt use anything gypsum as its combustible and will crack I always apply cement board and tape and fill any beads and joints
