    Then you can sit back with a smug look on your face knowing that to get where they have got earning a massive £40k they’re saddled with uni dept still @ 35-40, whereas the pond life in front of them is earning more and able to pick & choose when & where we work, don’t have to deal with the shite...

    Funny one this age, experience thing... I’ve always said since I started ‘if you’ve been doing it wrong for 30 years it doesn’t make it right’ this rings true time & time again.. I saw it 15 years ago & I see it to this day. 32 but you wouldn’t believe me, you’d want ID [emoji85] Sent from...

    Yeah I know it doesn’t bud, whereas the seemingly more rigorous ideal one in Ireland does cover it from what I read hence what I was referring too.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So has it affected your ability to win work ?

    What a crock of s**t! 15 pages of bitching, yes men & egotistical helmets.. As with anything like this the yes men are paid to do, so we are never going to get a true reflection of the ‘scheme’ without trying ourselves which I hope is free as my time costs as with everyone’s else’s..

    Krend and coloured renders

    Stay away from Krend as a manufacturer, Weber, Parex or Fassa much better.. Best machine applied, the material it’s self is dead not nice to hand apply. Best to jump on with experienced men to learn the process out of your area you will be more likely to get help. All the best [emoji106]...

    Expansion Beads

    Wouldn’t bother with expansions unless you want to give yourself a break? If so just clean them off before you go.. If you get proper expansions (not just back to back stops) they come pre taped in the gap [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If it's cavity wall Constuction then modern systems is fine... Although if there is residual damp & salts present then salt inhibitor sprayed prior the sand & cement with waterproofer would make a lot of sense. Hardwall isn't to be used in damp conditions. Insulated plaster boards is also...

    @mikeadams1985 use casting, you'll need some joint rules & busks, joint rules will need to be wider than the patch. Hopefully someone who does knows what they doing will help you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
