Severely disappointed, (Based on my pub post) I was expecting Olican to say this may be fake... But then I was hoping beddy would say it was cgi. I was practicing my responses. Ever so sorry if I offended anyone.

There is life outside of plastering, it is Saturday night after all. and you have all given me great advice!:RpS_biggrin: But times are tough and I thought this would be a nice suprise for you all. -

We're noggined out, used the 12.5mm and hoist, which worked a treat. (only 61ft to go) Just wanted to say Thank you for all the advice. Anyone easily offended please do not click link:RpS_w00t: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBarX_KFL5Q

My mistake. Sorry:RpS_mellow:

£20.00 extra on the price, guaranteed no damage, plus they get dust sheets there ready for the painters/themselves... Don't knock it until you've tried it! I have had 3 plasterers (Good 'uns from Berkshire to Chesterfield) who couldn't get over them... Windy, have you tried them? ---- Be...

Hi I use, self adhesive carpet protectors, my plasterer loves them, and has invested in them himself for private jobs. Best thing he found was like me the customer always asked for them and the dirt to be left, so the mist coat and paint don't go on the carpet. Ebay do them cheaper than builders...

Hi Stuart, on here to learn myself:RpS_thumbup:

Hello Danny:RpS_biggrin:

Mac just so happens home made Thai curry for 2 costs about £2.50 - (Grew my own veg). KFC is a luxury to me:RpS_biggrin:

Mac I had the best builders and brickies and plasterers anybody could hope for....... They all came from sheffield and around for me and Hubby. Mac ----Bad news-- nearly 50 fat and frumpy!!!!! but thanks for making my night! (Ah if you'd seen me 20 years ago!) ps. Just don't get the KFC, more...

Now there is an interesting question, the police aren't so sure!, highways have a distinct problem! Truth is the road is in one county and the house is in another. I think we may well have found a piece of heaven.! Well it will be if we ever get the bloody work done! - James, I was however born...

Get in the net! The boy did good:RpS_thumbsup:

We think we've worked it out as another 2 bags of sugar in weight! Its gonna be a sweet carry over. We will put in more noggins, tried to send british Gypsum the above photos----- It appears though I'm a nobody:RpS_confused: can't respond to their email without co name, address etc. etc. etc. I...

There in lies the problem, it is life changing but it becomes less and less about the money, and more about the lies, excuses and the inability of the person who owes to appreciate the position they have put you in. It doesn't matter how much it is, it is a principle. You constantly ask...

The bricks are commons. We think we'll go for the 15mm plasterboard.. the white book says we need less noggins, (I'll make sure we cover in full the perimeter) so since we don't fully understand what we're doing. And we really like the plasterer who will eventually plaster it. (He's a...

That seems like a damn good response!

Look guys, female here.... Hubby and I are up **** creek cos he's owed over £k100, That we have been **** on, does not mean that we would **** on someone else. In order to make sure we had enough money in the bank to pay our renderer, I sold all my jewelry including my engagement ring...

BC OK with brick work, As its only allowed to be 4mt height in total, the brick work was to bring ceiling up to 8ft. - Un - bloody - believable but they measured the outside and it came in at 4002mm :RpS_w00t: you can imagine the relief.! it is however 3kn blockwork inside.100mm insulation...

It seems to me if what I'm looking at is a window, they obviously have the window slightly open, the condensation appears to be on what looks like a roman blind, the cold air (Which admittedly falls) but does create cold spots. is directly above the window, (Steam rises and condences). You...

But I had to according to the white book spec's it said 2 noggins for 15mm or over board for 12.5mm. Are you pulling my leg? - Because I may be old but I'm still gullible!

I have a glass of wine at the moment, about to attempt damage limitation:-) Is it possible, that having halved the load bearing on the 1200 length to 600 and braced the perimeter either side of the 600 middle noggin. I have done sufficient to support a 15mm board? I've just been on Ebay and...

The noggins are cls - studding is C16. Are you asking because the trusses aren't exactly 600 apart? -

b*ll***s! - I'll make shepherds pie tonight. Bugger!:RpS_blushing:

There is no shame in asking him for your money. Ask him. The worst he can say is no! - If he says no he's no friend, so go to the petty claims court £10 charge and get them to get you the money + £20 interest. Everyone has bills, everyone tries to settle them. He is not being either fair or...

Are you banging your head cos I've done something dumb? - Would be ever so grateful if you could tell me - At 48 I can assure you it wont be the first time! :RpS_unsure:

Blimey, I didn't realise you needed a computer degree to upload photos, that's taken 15 noggins less!! Here goes if I've got this right. - Roof space Noggins Not a very good diagram, but I'm no good with a camera either Do I get my crispy duck?, or have I managed to make a right ducks ass...

Oh hell, do you think they will stop when they find out I'm short, fat and ugly?:RpS_lol:

Ah Ha! At least I put the screws in skew! I may looking at this actually have put in more noggins (Probably not in the right place!). But I think I got the perpendicular wrong........ I thought I'd be plasterboarding horizontally across the joist? so allowed my noggins that a way on. I'll load...

Oh!!!! Fick a duck I aint having any crispy tomorrow! I'll load a photo and you can all have a laugh at my expense. I may have to go to 15mm after all!!:RpS_unsure:

May I take a photo tomorrow, as there is no lecky there yet, only 1st fix. What we've done is basically (Perpendicular:RpS_wink:to the trusses) is measure from the first board to go down. Every other 600 middle support and outside edges. Clearly do not know what I'm talking about, so would be...

Ah! Got the termination wrong, Rockwool over the joists, (Which are the bottom rung of the trusses) - Sorry got it wrong. Unfortunately the trusses are and absolute nightmare, the roof space is only about 3ft, with a V in the middle, we would have put up celotex, but it was bloody impossible...

That assumes the cippies set the trusses at perfect 600 centres.... Guess what? - They didn't!:RpS_crying:

Beddy, I have a big affliction, its a fact! - I'm a flicking woman, who's never done this before!!! - I may as well not have any arms. Big problem I suffer from OCD, so the bloody noggins have to fit perfectly...... I'll plod on!

What's your middle name? Speedy? Its just taken 5 hours to do 10' x 14' :RpS_crying: We've still got 14' x 61' to go:RpS_cursing: I'm just hoping we can get A LOT QUICKER!!!!!

There's plenty more where that came from. Don't get me started, we've only just got the toilet fixed 11 months after moving in!:razz:

Personally as a wife myself. I think you'll find if you don't like it, she doesn't think it looks right either. She's just standing her ground! If you were to suggest standing it forward, as middle ground, I think you'll find she'd go for it, as she hasn't lost the battle:RpS_biggrin:

@malc The only problem there is the cost, as you can get a patent for UK but you need to buy patents for the rest of the world! It gets expensive, its worse than trade marks

I'll remember that for the next time!

I personally (only because its the only way I know!) batten 25mm between latts and 25mm over the top screwing the plasterboard to the latts. I am more than happy to be told this is bull!!!!

50mm celotex and plasterboard. That way a cold wall becomes a warm wall and any steam will not condense on it. I agree probably condensation.

I'm lurking! But being a new decided I'd try and learn the banter a little before I make a fool of myself:RpS_unsure:

We converted our loft in 2012, used Rockwool as sound insulation, to save money I thought I'd suspend it using flame retardant fabric. (Not chicken wire builders suggested) Building control weren't happy, wanted to know the flame retardancy etc. etc. Which I couldn't give them. They wanted the...

Hi Fatarm its Mrs. Although I'll be bloody impressed if it still is by the time we finish! Johniosaif - Not related I'm afraid, Council told us to put the upstairs extension in the garden, despite us being on green belt. So we decided to cedar shigle the roof and clad in Waney edge - Hence...

Hi Johniosaif We have rock wool on chicken wire above the trusses. (Known fondly as the job of a 1000 lashes – but plenty of other names have been given mainly not so nice!!!). Is that a warm deck? – Not sure of ‘pro’s’ terms. Firehand7 I got me a chop saw!!!!

Hi Tony Thanks for that, I'm hoping to still use the 12.5mm (Just because of the weight) is that ok? the perimeter is OK in that where we;ve put up the studding we have already put C16 either side. I was goint to fit 3x2 noggins in each alternate truss and a 1200mm noggin at the end of each...

Hi Novice soon to be plasterer here, 48 year old female who is going to have to learn PDQ what's what where plasterboarding and plastering is concerned. Hope you don't mind me researching through your responses and posting a few questions of my own. Great site, already learnt so much...

Last year due to planning, we were unable to build an upstairs extension, we were told to put the rooms we needed in the garden, under PD. (4m high single storey) We are at the stage where we need to plasterboard the ceilings. The roof trusses are set at 600mm centres and are 38mm...
