Yep, I’ve no work at the mo :( . Question Danny, is the web design side quiet too?

I did an ICA course (those 300 or so questions are a complete head-f#@k! such a relief when they were all finished !!!!!! although I hear that those lovely scaffolding questions are not going to be part of the course from next year!!!!!) now working towards the NVQ by taking photo’s of the...

i've just started using a "catch board" as i was fed up with plaster finding it's way into that one small gap where the sheet had come away from the wall!!

it was raining today ;D ;D off to watch Top Gear followed by that jungle program on itv ;)

Did you say "yep i can skim beside the toilet but i'm going to have to take the toilet out first and that will be another £60 to remove and then re-fit"

Amazes me how many people spend money putting in a new bathroom / kitchen and then afterwards think ….. hmm lets change the tiles etc!!????? :-?

Agree with plasterer/steve. I was always taught to board walls first and then fit the reveals. Top first, then sides and finally bottom. ;)

8am start and want to be driving home by 4.30 latest to beat rush hour ;) when i have work that is, phone hasn't rung for 2 weeks!!! :( :'(

Marshalltown Pre Worn Gold 14" Marshalltown Pre Worn Carbon Steel 14" and a Midget Trowel ;)

topman - thats what this forums 'bout 8-)

Problem with the tax man is it’s usually several years down the road before you’ll come under investigation and by then the bill will be huge. Better to pay now and be safe or .................. :'(

Glad it improved today :) but without those bad days we don’t learn (with the amount of bad days I have I should be a master soon ;D ;D )

when he's not looking, quickly board it and skim - he'll think you're a god ;D

smile at them, offer them the trowel and say "fancy a go?" they may stand there for a while but they'll soon disappear ;)

Fixes polystyrene and plaster coving for 0.92p! Before looking I assumed it would only be for polystyrene. If it can hold up a 3mtr length of plaster coving then it could be worth investing in some. Hopefully someone has used it?

but don't say PVA, instead polyvinyl acetate ;) ::)

A possible explanation of a ‘questionable’ job – being central London, guy finds nearest parking space ½ a mile away, feeds £50 (maybe more) into the meter for 4 hours parking, runs to customers house with all his gear without being mugged, rushes job so he can get back to vehicle before...

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D like it

Taking your time and getting it correct is definitely the right philosophy however if the average office joe with no experience earns between £60 and £110 a day with no training or experience, don’t you think we all deserve to be paid a bit more than that. After all we’re skilled...

I'm still working out of my car at the mo  :-/ , can get all the gear in there but no chance with board. Am thinking either a trusty escort van, an LDV cub or the nissan vanette. Anyone have any of these and how do they fair? Do 2.4 x 1.2 boards fit in the latter 2?

Evening all, how is everyone? Joined the 'nut house' after reading the forum for a few weeks, feel as if i know you all already  ;D   Anyway a little about me, i've been plastering for just under a year, jumped right in at the deep end by setting up my own company after completing a 6 week ica...
