160,was thinking of trying a 200 though.:)

Id skim the lot but seems standard practice for many damp firms to feather it in.

Happy new year fellas:)

Pics please:)

as you've said or could try render board and a flexi thin coat base.?

Haven't done much t&j not sure speed would be much different?(maybe because I do more skimming) skim is more durable,I know which one I'd choose for my own property.

I thaught that before but the YouTube Mac is from Ireland and the forum Mac is Sheffield area:)

Or both?:risas2:sorry nisus just couldn't help myself:burlas:

Looks not far off weber ivory tbf.can you source that locally?

Good luck buddy.:)

Definitely not the said Tottenham fan,he's to nice and wouldn't have thrown floats at you.:)

Another Tottenham supporter by any chance?

Is it this one mate?though I may order one of the other new ones too.

That's cool mate I want to order one, I've always used nela but recently bought a refina and like that also,I'll see if they are in stock,I'm an 18" man too;)

What is that pic behind you,is it you on your van?

Welcome buddy.

Is that the one you helped design or was it the mediflex?

Which one buddy the mk2 or the mediflex?use a carbon to get the first coat nice n flat then been using the refina sf to flatten then nela sf to finish with some awsome results.will get some pics of some plaster when dry next chance I get. (y)

I saw it the other day is it a random pic or you and little one swapped around?

Merry Xmas to you and the p1ss staff,have a good one.

Flatten earlier and fill misses earlier,as its a re skim you may need to control the suction better to give you more time.fair play for posting pics hope you get it sorted.

It's early days yet £19 isn't a lot really if you consider when you would normally quote a job you drive to the location which could cost £5-10 on fuel then spend your time measuring up and talking with the customer say £2o for an hour of your time,i think you've done right setting a £100 as a...

D Did you see the Frampton fight a south American around a year ago? Brilliant watch,Frampton won on points in the end but got knocked down twice early on almost causing an upset.

Welcome,where you from?

:)Welcome along

Welcome :)

:eek::eek::eek: d&t!!!

Do you mean the joshua fight?if so it's on youtub:)

I have a 14" nela board and a 13" mt board,I use the nela for almost everything now I just use the mt for dabbing,it feels more solid than the mt not sure if I use it more just because it's a larger size than the mt.

Would have been a good event,I was looking forward to this more than the fury v klitchko,did you stay over or travel?

Anyone see it?not what I was expecting but a good watch.lots of hype and cheap talk before the fight made it what it was,Joshua seemed to let it get to him and took his eye off the fight:cachetada:

Hi john welcome along.:)

@BigK said the same recently,he much preferred bgs skim by the sound of it.

If its a first floor ceiling you can run cables in the loft space but if it's ground floor he's going to have trouble without either making holes in the ceiling or taking floorboards up on the first floor,either way it's a bit arse about face he shoul have sorted electrics and lighting before he...

Welcome along:)

Can do or put it on early then wait till its dry or nearly dry and then 3:1.shouldnt have to wait long on bare plaster.:)

Pva @ 5:1 then 3:1, probably be ok to go straight on one coat at 3:1:)

That's terrible on price your 30/40m is worth £90/£120 a day so how can you be too slow for £70 :confused:

To be honest for me anyhow using speedskim,spats and the like made the job no faster for me,i stick mainly to a carbon and a s*p*r*lex now and even on large areas I still stick to these two trowels.i still use speedskims they come in handy between door linings and flattening skim when it's thick...

He was trying to brown nose rubi like he managed with refina but that all backfired when they looked on this tile section,they saw herbie and Larry had the sponsorship wrapped up:LOL:

If he had told you before That you had to wait for a check for a week or so then that's different but he didn't,he should have kept his mouth shut if he hasn't got a cash flow to pay on completion,he can't bank on customers walking out 5 minutes after you've finished and paying him in cash or...

Same as other thread.:)

They are shocking all of them,we are taught to think £150 a day is a good wage it really isn't in this day and age,I think £1000 per week is fair to good but I'll never be happy on a set wage I'll always want scope to earn more, lads I know at factories tell me about their pay rises gone up to...

Just landed a tiling job,75m2 900x150 tiles @ £25 a m2, £1900. Even if it takes me a week it's still better money than I get plastering,I hope to get it done in 3/4 days,you can see why people change to tiling,I prefer plastering even if the money isn't as good,just doing this one to help a mate...

Day work in my area it can vary from £120 to £220 usually a decent spread that's established £150/£180ish I try to stay clear of day work and put m2 prices in or per room on refurb,if your quick enough you earn more than the above day rates and there's no arguing,it also usually sounds cheap to...

Is it a plastic refina and is your kitchen wall brick?

I think it's your straight edge that is bent and the boards are fine:ROFLMAO:

Lol I did that a couple of times,loosened them off but one rad was old so where the pipe goes into the isolation tap it had fuesd so I lowered it down and it twisted the lower pipe(below the isolation valve) and burst,so I don't do that any more:tonto:

Half a trade!a certain storm trooper wouldn't take to kindly to u saying he had half a trade as he had 4 trades!:ROFLMAO:

It can be good money @£25 a m2 large floors with large tiles your laughing,sometimes just having to lay 3 or 4 tiles for £25 if you can lay 20/30m2 a day which isn't a huge amount for a decent tiler you can see how the £ can stack up.:envidioso
