personally dislike those lights render or no render stupid design don't really illuminate the pathway just highlight the wall. bad all round the shadows cast from the brackets on the light fitting make it look weird regardless of the wall underneath. the shadows cast from them would look crap...

id say get the wall out provided its not holding up your ceiling. ive had to remove banisters and build stud walls similar to this to carry doors after loft conversions for fire regs. nicer to get rid and let the light into the stairs

any of you lot had a go at a concrete countertop? ive seen some poured upside down and flipped and others poured in situ. i like the look even if it would be a massive headache to rip out. ive been planning a little outdooors seating/bbq corner and was considering having a go on a small scale...

Yeah icing cakes then the other classic; buttering toast... Another part of the competition a customer stands behind you trying to put you off your game: “plastering is a real art form” “don’t your arms ache?” then they make you a bad cup of tea in a dirty cup and wander around you until...

Used these. They’re definitely staples

I’d say that calls for a swift pint, just one tho

I believe and try to live in a way that supports other people not shuts them off and only shows care for myself

It is a very sad commentary on the average mans compassion for his brother

I’ve sent materials to a couple jobs in preparation and have a handful of general bits sent to my lock up. I doubt joe public will let us lot into their perfect diy b&q Sunday’s ikea wet dream pissholes they call homes with their shitty barret homes drylined coffins they call houses however il...

25 mil? Smashed it bro. Killed it dead. If I could leave even a tenth of that I’d be buzzing

so how did you still end up such a nutter?

Also might do our country a lot of good if we had an iq or at least a general knowledge test for anyone who may like to vote

Might help the situation in the supermarkets if your average joe w**k*r could show the tinyest amount of compassion for his neighbour and not buy every f**k**g toilet roll

self isolating Yep... left handed

That’s all folks I’m lurking here pretty much daily. I am guilty of not contributing as much as I’m consuming and I hold my hands up, that’s not good. the whole reason I check I so often is your lots contributions, opinions, advice, stories and banter, they are fascinating. here is where I...

bullshit or they failed. Google is Walt Disney cryogenically frozen First result was relevant

I would say good thing I’m a plarsterer not an English teecher but I can’t even say that... my covings all upside down

Coving upside down and I’m on here at 1am

I’m not too bothered by all this, it’s just that I did apologise to the chap and taking our history into consideration I thought he was being a class a w**k*r. I was looking for confirmation :)

blue scrim is called blue because it is depressed, it’s always asking “wot am I for?..”

getting s**t in your eye way worse. s**t scrim? Staple gun. Plaster in your eye? Il take the staple gun

got dumped yesterday. The fella I’ve plastered for, for over 2 years, had a great working relationship always got along well, texted me on WhatsApp to inform me “don’t bother coming back” What did I do to warrant this? I thought we said 1:30, he had 1:00, for a quote. Not even just me. The...

I’d hire a midget to plaster inside the shelves

I think I have slept for some of the hours just not sure which ones

Stopped work on 21st Eaten twice The rest of the time has been spent with Stella, rum & various packets ho ho no

They shouldn’t call it permashape the shape of them is anything but permanent. But still the trowel I use 99% of the time mainly out of habit

It will be great to see lots of independent businesses and manufacturers pop up over the years when we eventually agree a deal and become independent as a nation again. I don’t know a lot about the subject but I do know humans struggle to govern themselves nevermind cities, countries and now...

Deserved a smack. Bet it was a sparky

s**t will happen that’s out of your control and may make you feel depressed. You can control your mind, thoughts, words and actions. It’s not a cliche to say toughen up. Take back control of your emotions, you choose to be a victim and you can climb out of self pity. Don’t just be guided by what...

Hope so. I’m not going back. Stairs are a pain

Left the job told the customer to call me when it’s ready... they will be waiting a loooong time now

Ready yeah?

Couple brickies I know were telling me same. they were asked for £300 to be taken off the bill for coffee etc when it came to the final payment. Wealthy customers seem to be the tightest I’ve found those with the least are often the most generous

Looks good. Didn’t wanna angle out the velux reveals out for the old girl?

Got my roll of tape today. Thankyou tapit. Will report back with my opinion... for what it’s worth

Rates?

I’m in Nottingham

Imagine the best plastered wall ever That’s what they look like

I’m a in a very strange percentage of spreads who are actually friends with the common enemy haha!

In the interest of full disclosure my labourer happens to be my best mate and a sparky with 11 years experience

I go to that length because as it stands I am the main contractor on site, I do domestic extensions and loft conversions. It in my interest to make I do everything to the best of my ability

I photograph the wires and connections then I remove the faceplate entirely tape it up on wire blocks and tuck into the back box. I have a filling knife cut down to size to fit inside the box and when I’m trowelling up I put the filling knife in the box and use it as a solid surface to push gear...

One more thing I’m always open to hear criticism only way to learn. Wish I’d got a photo of it painted, he put a glass banister in looked the part, until the cracks appear

Yeah mate the customer built the lot, I did wonder about cracking etc he reckons the way he’s done it will be fine...

Left a gap between the treads and the plasterboard. None of them are stop beads, all angle beads, fitted by the ‘helpful’ customer, that plastic was their plan to maintain a gap between the between the wood and finished edge of plaster. From where I’m sitting at home I can’t see any cracks...

Bloke who owns the house runs a sign writing business. Turns out he sold the house to des walker
