It's for finishing the inside of concrete steps Danny

That top pic is my van

Poured concrete walls sucks like hell even after uni bonding adhesive may have pulled in to quick and not stuck properly.

As said the ones for Venetian plaster are the best.

Because it is you dont have to change clay for plastic the inspector is an idiot.Jurek no need to half fill the trench mass fill it to 6inches below ground level but shutter around the pipes then lintol straight on top of the concrete just make sure you have enough room for your subgrade...

Get building control out to have a look before you do anything and try and identify what is what soil,rainwater or land drains you may have to use some of them for the new build so now is the time for any alterations all drain pipes have to be lintoled over.

Ive got one that sprays render, never used it as it needs a massive compressor.

w**k*r lol

The new Ragni ones are ok

You would have to get used to Spanish materials plus if you were lucky enough to find work the pay would be low expats are very unforgiving and know labour is cheap at the moment.

We never really had it.

Ahem... excuse me i am an old timer.

Cheapest way temporaly stick celotex to wall just enough to hold it there then fix battens on top of the celotex at desired centres into the wall through the battens and insulation with plugs and long screws fix plaster board to battens, simples.

Gibbo gave me a level once with no bubble in it Beddy might get that rivetted

Going back to years ago ime sure we put it on thicker because of the Jute

Where you been you lush?

Looking forward to it

Liquid weather works well the soot trick dosent last but gets you paid the trick with this work is to do some small test panels with different mixes, sand etc till you get the one the client wants a tiny bit of brown dye often does the trick finishing is all in the timing of the brushing.

Some architects specify that that the Dpc protrude a little which is nonsense no matter what it is made of in time it will deteriorate and it also looks crap I always bring mine in 5mill so when its jointed its not seen far better and this minor bridging will cause no harm any way we now know...

Monolithic is as you say laying a mix of anything onto a green base so they bond together.

Fking bollox this thread just rip it of

As for tanking its a relatively new concept, not knocking it but it is belt and braces ive seen a few showers tiled on to standard board and never failed and come the day when the tiles are tired it is relatively cheap to replace the plasterboard as well you would never save the tanking ripping...

Murcia Cassie, about an hour inland from Torrievieja

Sounds good

Silicone all the time there will always be some movement with people getting in and out of the bath so it needs a bit of flex, tried that tape once and it left a residue on the tiles which was hard to get of if I do tape up I just use masking tape. I fitted a corner bath in my house in Spain...

Think they might be ok on really big tiles and would give them a go the vids make it look easy, been meaning to ask this question on the tilers forum for a while just haven't got round to it.

Does mate, I give the customer the options and the costs and the risks and leave it with them.

Never been sure about tiling straight on to MR even though ive done it Cassie as you are not supposed to skim straight onto them unless you Gyprime first because there is some kind of coating on them that makes them moisture resistant so skim apparently wont take to it properly so I assume...

Best of luck mate

Cant be arsed meself just buy a new trowel every week.

Spec is probably as been said but ive done loads at lower temps if its ready mix ask for a slightly stronger mix and maybe an air entrainer added, if its a footing the bulk of the concrete will be below the frost line just make sure you cover the top up well and give it plenty of time before you...

Been away on hols so not bothered looking on the forum, thanks Big Bruv and Bobby for the thumbs up but to much going on at the moment on the other hand I am seriously thinking of going back this year just about had enough of this country still got a set of tools in Spain and some fishing rods...

Twatter is better

The back of my van is always a skip but always keep the cab pukker.

Its not like it used to be the Euro saw to that to be honest I know ime in London but €20 would not be worth it even if they did pay the digs you can get that here you need to get double what you get here for all the hassle involved like we used to shame as I loved working in Holland Germany.
