I've seen walls made of 3 sheets of plasterboard... 25mm baton as frame, 12.5mm screwed to that, 15mm board dabbed within frame to that, then 12.5mm board dabbed to that and screwed to baton. Like a plasterboard sandwich. Most of the internal walls were like that in a £900,000 town house in East...

Haha, risky territory... If I was expensive I'd get slated, if I was too cheap I'd get slated. Let just say I was very happy with the amount for a good days work [emoji6] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Didn't think we were supposed to talk about that? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

All went fine, boarding was shockingly bad though, gaps everywhere, socket cut outs far to big, they'd put paper tape corners round the window and doors dobbed right out. Prep took ages. All done, they're happy and I'm paid Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Cheers for all your replies lads Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yeah gonna give it a go! Who knows, might get paid to do it twice ;-) I'm sure it says "plaster the other side" or something like that on the board doesn't it? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yep did say can't guarantee it, told him it's a risk. Either redo boarding or risk it and possibly redo the lot his call. He's opted for risk it... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Should I pva it? Would that help? I directed him to the BG website... http://www.british-gypsum.com/product-range/plasterboards/10-things-you-should-know-about-plasterboard Told him to read number 8 Which says... "Most standard plasterboard has one ivory face and one brown. The liner on the...

Customer has just sent me pics of their garage conversion ready for me to skim tomorrow... Told him the board is round the wrong way, he's said do it anyway... I've never skimmed the back! Any thoughts? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Done! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Being Limited means that you have a limited amount of liability an offers you some protection. If your trade accounts/business loans/vehicle finance are all registered to your Limited company if it all goes tits up you don't lose everything, house etc But the business could/will lose all it's...

Poor cash flow will be your biggest problem initially. If you can have a month or two wages in the bank before you take the plunge that'll really help Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yeah I've got one of those iZettle Bluetooth ones. That must be the new one. I'm pretty sure it's 2.75% per transaction... Takes 4 working days to reach your account. Used it 4 times in 18 months, no one wants to pay the extra 3% I charge. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Not if you're doing 12 hours a day... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Ha! That's a better solution than replacing cable ties every couple of months! That van cost me more in repairs than it did to buy... Had my transit 3.5 years now, no probs Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Is that a Vivaro @Lodan ? Used to have that problem with mine, got to be a dab hand at sorting it with a couple of cable ties... Got a transit now tho Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Grammar! Lol Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yeah Hitachi radio is ok. Only FM and AM but you can plug in phone/ipod etc via phono lead. Can charge your phone off it too as has USB, annoyingly only when it's switched to Aux. So you can't charge your phone and listen to the radio... Bit of a design flaw IMO. I've had one for years... Sent...

As above... Or hardwall... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Brilliant! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

They lock me in the cellar and feed me pins... Loved the fast show Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Mine looked like this... Then I put all the cr*p back in Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Soz was joking about the big tv in the pic on the right... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Looking good! Though they'll never get that CRT in there... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Balls, picked wrong first pic! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Here's one I did earlier Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

How's that? No idea where the mug came from... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

3/4" does matter yeah! I'm 5' 9-3/4" And a little under 12.5 stone Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Ha! Brilliant! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Speedskim yeah! Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I think it looks pretty good, for a feature wall maybe... Ideal for hotels and places with a bit of grandeur. I think with the video, putting it on the trowel by hand perhaps looks a bit unprofessional? Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Oh maaaan sucked in! [emoji35] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I know I'm generally a "lurker" but trying to be more a active member... Is there much point in asking for advice then arguing against what's been suggested? May as well avoid getting rsi and crack on... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Technically that's 6' 7.2" [emoji50] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yeah that's the stuff [emoji14] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Haha! Yeah love a sexy pic! ;-) Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Sometimes getting him to even leave the room he's staying in is hard enough. Sometimes he'll just stay in there for 3-4 days, barricades the door, won't talk. Other days he gets up goes to work as if all is ok. He has appointments with a counsellor, sometimes he goes, sometimes he doesn't. We've...

Wish I could get my brother to go. He's depressed, an alcoholic, self harmer... Just recently got divorced because of it, which hasn't helped either. Thought he'd hit rock bottom when he crashed his van recently driving to get food at 3am. Still convincing himself he doesn't have a problem...

Yeah true, seen the 1 time posters... Been a member since Oct 2012 Just like reading stuff. Feel like I know some of you guys as I've been reading postings for years! I stick my two penny worth in occasionally Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

F me Yeah, chuckle along! The machine vs man challenge was a good read haha... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Hello @Danny guessing you can see the lurkers? I'm one... Read a lot, say a little... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

You gotta change that freidnly typo... [emoji50] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

If it's got an isolation tap under there I'd disconnected the hob but get someone "gas safe" to connect up the new one and do drop test etc. Saves paying out for two visits... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I think it'll look good... Especially with the toilet in the middle ;-) Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Yeah that works [emoji16] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Well technically it's trade waste and therefore is not allowed to be taken to a domestic refuse site... Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Nothing like a nice mug of soup to warm you up if it's chilly [emoji14] Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

If I could get a mini skip out the back I would though cos way cheaper. Lorry won't fit... Local trade waste site charges by the tonne so that's a no no. Rubbish is a pain! But I do add a bit to my price to cover it. Built in cost though so it can't be "knocked off" the price I'm all domestic...

Yeah I'm a dumpster... Let it pile up out the back until there's a decent amount and get a guy to come and clear it Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
