Haa ha, you're right steve. I wanna do the work of 2 men can't, double pay. ;)

Looking on line for good prices on 18inch stainless Finnish trowels. Where's best place buy. Cheers

All good m8y. It's gonna look pukka, a bit anxious for the 36piece ceiling rose. Thinking about it, that whole bloody room is going to be a mission.

Yip, she got 48m of the large dental coving from molloys.

Thanks guys, I'm taking the p*ss. Shot for the effort Tony. I'll need to make one any way as the cornice is 7inch long on the wall and 4inch on the ceiling. I've been looking for an excuse to justify buying a double compound electric saw.

Ok thanks Tony, Chris. I bought 3 lengths of 3x2 and a box of screws, I have a pencil around here somewhere and my neighbour has a tape measure i could use. Now what??? ::)

I look forward to it. ;D That ceiling does'nt look as big now that its re boarded.

Hi ladies. I'm looking for a new coving/cornice mitre. Must be able to cut a all sizes of coving. Any ideas or trusted products out there. I've seen this, looks practical buy cheap. www.magicmitre.co.uk Cheers ;)

Chat to steve cov, he is getting something like that.

I'll tell the gate guard not to let the plasterer with the caravan on to the property.

Anyone ever put 15 letres of pva on one ceiling. we did.

Working in Granborough, Dunchurch, Warks. Spunky

Nice job today Steve, lady was well chuffed. Don't forget about that monster next week.

Lucky you never broke a bone. :'(

Yeah, Steve had classic tumble today. Had never fallen till today. Missed a Harry Hill opportunity.

Yeh Spunky are you plastering in the north pole, they are a bit o.t.t.

Used 10 bags yesterday & today, not bad it seems to be more like hardwall just pink and it's cheaper than befor. So thumbs up from me.

Not if we have a spat but yes.

Yeh cool, you mix & lay it on and I'll spat it up. ;)

Yeh just had a look too. Price is good and looks like you don't have to climb up and down steps all day. Do you just lay on with a trowl and smooth over with the spat.

Steve thats what we need. How much do they cost, maybe I'll get one.

Got to be quicker on the draw nisus.

Yip only buy plaster from wicks, no one can do it cheaper in the area. Get all boards, pva from Magnet and smaller things from screw diy

Have just got back from 3 week holiday in South Africa and was miffed to be back in Wickes buying plaster this morning. Then saw that multi has come down to £3.90 and bonding has come down to £5.06. I was pretty chuffed and well pleased.

Hey lads, I've got 2 monster ceilings on a domestic job to do in the middle of the month. Is there anyone who wants to come to the Rugby area and give me a hand. Probably 2 days work in all.

Cheers Rich.

Got to put up board then aqua panels to new stud work in a bathroom. The panels are getting tiled, should I plaster these or not. As far as I'm aware there is no need to plaster over the panels but don't want to piss the tiler off. Cheers

;D That's a good one steve. Can you imagine

How do you get it so smooth or Do you mind if i watch so i can do it next time. Thats when I think, 'you beauty' ka-ching $£$£$£

How long till we can paint or when will it dry. If I had a pound for everytime that question was asked.

Sparrows fart came and went by, no boards, lunch time came and went by, no boards. Called them up and they told me oh sorry... tomorrow. So half a day behind now. How can they run a bussiness like that, bloody winky tuggers.

Anyone ever use dobuildirect. Ordered some thermaline super 40mm and thermaline basic 22mm and adhesive last week to arrive on site today to start a job tomorrow. Called them 3 times end of last week to make sure order was all good and materials in stock.... yes yes yes was the answer. great...

No way am I using that polystyrene crap, that sh1t is for amatures.

I'll put up the coving in the am and do some other work and in the pm I'll put some caulking on the bottom bit. So no choir practice next sunday then, oh well.

Thanks chaps, that is next Sundays job sorted then.

Got this lady in a big ol house and in one of her 7 on sweet bathrooms she wants coving. Problem is that the tiles go to the ceiling and she doesn't want to remove any. The tiles are old school 80's style, black, highly glazed with gold patterns. Iesh, really terrible. Does anyone know if...

Dry coat is a cement based plaster for after damproof coarse and walls with slight damp problems, very good product though and cost between £12 and £15.

Got a blob in my left eye putting 2nd coat on a ceiling, washed in out under the tap and carried on. Ceiling looks like marble, my eye looks like a fricking road map and feels like i have a needle in my eye ball. I'm wearing my glasses tomorrow.

Hey chaps, got to board out a room with 40mm gyproc thermaline super board (phenolic) and 22mm thermaline basic(poystyrene). They say to use normal board adhesive and the customer does not want boards to be fixed mechanically. Just want to know if using board adhesive on these insulated boards...

O.K. I'll give my site a plug too, it's on the first page of google. www.rugbyplastermaster.co.uk

Mate I've used plenty of limelite renovating plaster on listed buildings. Very nice to use, don't need to damp down walls, no cracking and ample time to go off so you can mix 2 bath loads at a time. The reps at Tarmac suggest using 2 coats board finish. Comes up a beauty, never had any come backs

I try and make sure we both agree whats needs to be done at the agreed price, but I'm with murplastering, if it's a small extra i just do it but if its a lot more I will explain that the cost will increase and charge £35/ph extra. Then they can take it or leave it.

Thanks for all the info guys. I popped into Gem Tool hire on Sat 8am and purchased a Refina Megamixer, my gosh what a beauty. Mixer was £260, I asked for a discount and they gave me the transformer for free. Replaced the brushes and cable on the old mixer, so have a crappy back-up.

God'dam, on my last mix this arvo my bloody mixer packs-up, sparks and smoke. Anyone got tips on who's got deals at the moment. Need one by 10am tomorrow. Wanna spend about £150. Thanks.

Steve, sometimes the customers don't know what they want and it's our job to be honest with them and give them advise based on our experience and brilliance in making walls and ceilings smooth. I always give them a price there and then and if they want a written quote I'll post them one the next...

Take the bull by the horns bro. Go for it.

Thanks for that info heafy and danny, I've just listed on google maps. So danny what's your secret to getting on the first pages then??? Or is that pretty technical. I got one of my mates in South Africa to build the site cost about 250, paid about 6 quid to buy the domain and free for 2 years...

Thanks for that skimmin2day, very good info. I'll give that google link a look. Thanks Bud.

Thanks flynn, I'll get onto that.
