So it could quite simply be damp conditions and condensation I’ll call back and take another look tomorrow, if it’s still wet there’s a serious problem

Tarps all the way these days

No, I wasn’t willing to risk it

The heating had been off for a day but wasn’t really cold no

Yes all in date and stirred up well, 15 hours is usually plenty but maybe in this instance it did need more? God knows

alright guys Ok, yesterday we prepped a vaulted ceiling ready to skim this morning, the ceiling originally had artex on, no signs of damp at all, we started to scrape the artex back as it was fairly thick, as we did this we found the artex actually peeled away quite easily so did that and it...

It's all in the mind, tell yourself you're going to struggle and you will, set out telling yourself you will do it easy and you are brilliant it will go ok lol you might sweat a bit after but it will be fine

Is that how it works these days then? So if I get funded for a level 2 card I could be paid less than a bloke with a higher grade but I'm quite capable of doing the job to a higher grade

Cheers So is level 2 an ok level to get jobs on site work then?

Alrite guys How do I go on about getting a cscs card, I've done a search on here and online and it seems I need to have NVQ's. Which I haven't got! I spent 15 years on site work and back then cards were not needed, of recent years I've just done domestic, extensions etc. I'm now getting the...

And when your boarding up to your reveals but plenty of solid dabs round so you can tack your beads on easily

Oops, I messaged you my details on the Facebook page the other week :coffe: cheers

Gone a bit quiet for me for the next few weeks, got the odd ceiling to do and a few small walls but nothing substantial, it's gonna give me time to finish a property I've bought and doin up so can't moan really, but as you all know it only takes one phone call and it could all change

She messages you as well!!!!

The only things I answer after 10pm are the private messages on pornHub

I use it mate when I need to email invoices, you get the first 5 invoices free then after that you have to pay to upgrade which I did and that gives you over 100 invoices If I remember correctly. I find it works well, you can add your company logo etc and looks proffesional enough. It saves...

Yeah I only use the app at work, it's not as good as web version, can't do any harm doin push notifications can it, do it!

You already get these on the app don't you when someone likes or quotes you , as said above they could be handy for people who don't use the forum as regular

Can't be too difficult, here's British Gypsums Fast As F*ck Finish

Like to start at 8 or before, start to lose motivation if I'm standing around waiting for sparkys to do wiring or similar

Haha, speaking of rough, I feel Rough today! Too many beers in the sun yesterday!

Today I'm trying out my new trestles on 2.6m high ceilings, should make life easier!

Some years ago now Knauf sent one of their people out to come and show us how to use their FP90, he picked the smallest wall in the house, no beads or sockets on it, put it on, drank his flask, told us how easy it was, then drove to McDonald's and bought us all a breakfast lol

Even if it's somewhere else in the country it's still a cheek! See what he replies to you saying

Take it as a compliment, you're obviously better than him!

I worked it out on FB ya cheeky git lol ;-)

Haha I was probably too mean there, I've only been to Barnsley twice lol

I will be having Sunday off that's it, got a full re skim to do. As for Barnsley I wouldn't bother goin there or Id recommend driving past it lol

I pretty much found the same, re skimmed an apartment with Unifinish, on all the painted surfaces it went really well and a pleasure to use, on the old bare plaster walls though it sucked in like hell, stuck with it and it all come good but was hard work!

Can you please start putting blue envelopes in random bags like walkers crisps did years ago and we win prizes! It would make our jobs more exciting! Cheers James

Seriously though, Yeah basically what Jaybo says, offer the cove up into the angles, mark with pencil, where the lines cross that gives you your cut, if that makes sense
