Collomix 110v

I’ve got st 1200mm a st 600m used maybe 6 times. Also a sf 600mm used once . Comes with attachment and I’ll throw in a pole. £100 PayPal free delivery. Also a used but works perfectly well mixer. Collection only or I could deliver local ish. £50.

I only plaster now in my spare time. I have a job now that pays every week.My home life and stress levels are much better . Keep the regular money coming in until your plastering overtakes the regular wage. Trust me you cannot beat regular cash landing in your account,50 weeks per year..

if you have a decent run say 2 or 3 houses ready to go it is in my experience a lot quicker .But it's rare nowdays to get that . also you need all the tools i.e bazooka , box's , sander with vacuum .

sorry i will take some photo's and put them up asap ..

Hi I,ve got a 3 bed semi detached house in Dunstable to do. All the donkey work has been done ie. hacked off all blown render all old paint removed . it,s about 70m2 . I would like it doing next week if poss. The reason i'm not doing it myself is i'm also doing nights on the underground and to...

i use stilts on my own most days much quicker and saves your legs from the continuous up and down from the hop up . Would rather strap them on than plank entire room out once you get the hang off them they're priceless... well £ 65 from flea bay ..

i was taught the hard way podger , cement mixer and hod , bath and rake , i wouldn't make my worst enemy go back to those days . Just because i had to do it doesn't make me any better or worse than the lab. It's hard enough finding a decent lab without p1ssing him off in the first week .

i hate my mobile phone worst invention ever , why does everyone need to know what and where you are every min of the day.. don't get me started on Facebook or twitter who gives a sh*t what some knobhead who you hated at school got up to on his holiday , get some real friends you t**t . Anyone...

lay him off for a week , then bring him back if he does it again sack him and don't pay him his week in hand .ALWAYS KEEP THEM A WEEK IN HAND.. :RpS_sneaky:

Had a Collomix for 8 yrs now only been in the repair shop once for a new lead apart from that it's amazing , can mix 3-4 bags of hardwall or adhesive easy . Apart from that Refina will the most popular answer think most spreads use them..

i love my stilts much quicker with them just my personal opinion..:-) just make sure all your bags and water are close by and like everyone says don't panic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did a insurance job on a cottage in Berkshire was there for about 2 weeks , every night as i was leaving the bloke who owned the house would thrust a £20 note into my hand and tell me to have a drink on him ..I sh8t you not i dragged that one out for as long as poss. :RpS_thumbup:

Trust me mate took all my willpower not to . I've just calmed down now . Hope he gets it done for that money now because it will be a Fvcking abortion and will serve the c**t right......... and he was smaller than me that doesn't normally happen :RpS_laugh:

i just priced one tonight and almost lost my rag with the customer . job was old victorian house , hall stairs & landing plus main bedroom. Customer wanted the picture rail removed on hsl , the landing ceiling needed 4m2 taking down and replaced also artex on existing ceilings was hanging off...

when i was taping and jointing houses about 10 yrs ago a site agent phoned me up on my way home and told me to get my rough arse back to site and sort out a house he wanted the painters to start the next day. When i got there he marched me into the house with his boss and another suit he was...

use rated quite often had some great earners from it plus lots of repeat work and recommendations. You pay a small amount every 3 months to get your leads then if you like the sound of the lead you pay extra for it between 12 and 22 quid. You don't pay for all the leads just cherry pick. Also...

two weeks ago in JEWSONS in flitwick £10.88 for 1 bag of bonding the robbing fooking barstweward........

artex on normal coving but board adhesive on the swan neck stuff.. wondermitre is the only tool you need ...

too right danny i've had an ad in the local rags for 4yrs now and get a steady flow of calls. My mate tries it for 1 week and gets nothing and asks why am i bothering with it .

i think it will pick up in 18 months to 2yrs . Kebab is right though you have to sell yourself . but saying that if i was still in my 20's i would re-train in something miles away from the building game.......

was one of the reasons my brother jacked it in was we were doing house bashing and the price went from £3 down to £2 . We were killing ourselves to make anything decent. He now works in a recycling depot getting regular money and not killing himself . whenever i ring him to give me hand he...

I got offered a job 2 weeks ago won't say who also { you never no like you say } £ 90 a shift . He wanted me on site at 7.30 mixed up and skimming by 8 and finish at 5. Asked him how much he expected doing in a day he said and i quote... 70-80m2. Take petrol about a tenner a day then tax will...

i spoke to him today thanks for that danny...

the best tool to use is a WONDER MITRE they are all you need ,cheap plastic ones are about £3 ok if you only do it now and again, but the best one is the metal one about £8 i think . just google wondermitre. I,m not that hot on coving but this tool is the nuts. I use my mate to do most of...

hi merlin tried to pm you but cannot seem to do it for some reason. ????

hi , mate is this offer still available???

on normal height work 2 pound isn't bad but if you need a scissor lift you would like a bit more. Although if you have the boxes wouldn't take long.

Hi, my rivets have just started to go on my trowel it has served me well for over 8 years but for the life of me i cannot find another one the same width.mine when it was new was less than 4 inch's wide and was a marshaltown.

I've come across this sh*t hundreds of times , the only stuff that does the trick everytime is ALKALINE RESISTANT PAINT. you can get it from any good paint shop Brewers,Dulux,or Johnstone's.Just scrape any loose then with a cheap roller ,roll it on like normal paint,smells a bit so open the...

ebay is always good ..i always used a 8 inch box when i did it. As long as your tape is well stuck and you are fairly quick i never had any problems..
