If it’s that wet then there’s something causing it I would dig a little deeper if I were you what’s on the other side of the wall all that water is coming from somewhere

Is it a trowel or floor scraper your after because if it’s a floor scraper buy the Ragni .MT are top of the pile when it comes to trowels

You just have to love them

Covered over yea but where do u start and where do u stop it can but you need to re do the area in question top to bottom otherwise your going to try patch it and that is going to look way worse it is a pity they did what they did have you talked to the builder see what he says

Definitely a deliberate joint as for why you would have to see it when been done was there scaffolding in the way was everything in and ready it should not have been done but sometimes theses things do happen

Always hoping for the cheap option,

Wouldn’t say he paid a whole lot .sadly time and time again they say I paid top money or the plasterer was highly recommended but we all know it’s down to price they think no matter what the price they get the same job

Plain and simple that’s butchered definitely not acceptable you should get a full refund

Stevie wounder could have done a better job .no plasterer layed a hand on that I think this is just a case of the cheapest price did it

Just wash off the yellow marks it will be fine

I agree totally but for now it gets me through the day sad I know this job sooner or later will Break us all down

I have the 110v one .no problem with the switch I have to agree it is a bit fiddly and probably not the best design but I have had no problems with it ,if kept clean there should be no problems

Have to say I love the Nela black edition

Does it need plastering again not sure it was plastered in the first place

Not a carbon but I’ve got a MT 13x5 stainless I bought in 98 you could shave with it

If it’s hollow sbr will do nothing for it ,hollow plaster will only end up in one place and that’s on the ground it’s got to come off and be replaced it’s not what you want to hear or the plasterer wants to do but it’s the only way to rectify the problem

X and o anybody

Being good at skimming won’t necessarily mean your good at taping and joining there’s a bit more to it than just filling up the joints and making good the holes ,that’s a bit like saying skimming is just putting on two coats ,doing tape and joint is like skimming it takes time to learn how to do...

Ceiling joists are off , block work is off , the plasterer will fix it at times we need to be a miracle worker pity he didn’t notice it before it was skimmed

Been using one the 6 months I find it a brilliant bit of kit I really can’t fault them

the ox handle fits the Nela I put one on and find it a lot better

Did they use fibres in the scratch and allow enough time between coats and plenty of hydration

Well you asked and you were told now its time you started talking to the cowboys and we'll talk to you again in a few months when your back complaining about a badly done job .

Way too much to read think I’ll wait for the movie

Not a hope in hell I would touch it ,have some pride man they went with a cheaper price and got a butcher not a plasterer then they ask u back to rectify his work ,no way no how ,u can guarantee if he did a decent job they wouldn’t give u a second thought

No they are not but he’s on about lime plaster and his evidence is a bag of hydrated lime which is not used in lime plaster it’s hydraulic lime ,then he wants to use thistle bond ,as I said he hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about my point is get a qualified plasterer to come and do what needs...

Another home owner who hasn’t a clue what he is talking about

If the plasterer only skimmed the ceilings and did nothing to the walls as you stated this has nothing at all to do with him ,a bit of residue as you say on the wall from skimming the ceilings again has nothing to do with theses cracks ,I’ve seen this happen before where the walls were re done...

I’ve used loads of this never had a problem with it ,

Someone definitely came around but he definitely wasn’t a plasterer

Nela and floor scraper are the same thing

My thoughts exactly

I was getting 200 a day in Galway 2 years ago and I was working for a mayo subbie day rate now in limerick is between 250 and 300 depending on the contractor

No problem just think it’s a silly question and definitely asked by someone who knows nothing about the trade

Sweet Jesus this has to be a piss take if not this trade is f**k*d

This boils my blood clearly a good job and comes on here being totally clueless and try’s to get a reason not to pay him ,we should start a form on here about people like you who are clearly bad clients

Have you seen the new kraft hawk he’s using it’s like a half sheet of ply the size of it ,and the amount of stuff he puts on would fit on a normal 13 inch hawk and don’t get me started on that conga trowel as he calls it all for show

Good old Kirk true and plum yep as long as the sun don’t shine

Agree with glucosamine been taking it for years it’s great for joints ,I have swelling in my finger joints only a few at the moment but I know it’s a down hill path I’m on with them

A 25 kg bag of cement is approximately 5 shovels ,always been that way same as when we used 50 kg bags approximately 10 shovels 3 to 4 shovels of cement in a big mixer is sufficient for a float finish it would change for the likes of dash ,same as when loading sand it’s supposed to be a level...

Normally in a big mixer we put 50 shovels of white sand or what we call silver sand 2 bags of white cement that’s a 5 to 1 ratio and to that we add 3 shovels of lime that’s for a finish coat float and sponge finish coat , your scratch coat can be done in normal grey cement any bell casts or...

Often use it white sand and white cement with lime ,white cement is stronger than normal Portland cement so your mix ratio changes

He’s definitely full of s**t
