It'll be the easiest if the two.

Was thinking of lining it but heard tanking a better job. Surely lining it be a nightmare to get right.

Rough as a butchers dug . Them apprentices hey

Small question I should already know the answer off but haven't tanked an exterior wall before so thought I'd ask anyway.. Have to tank inside this planter box wall..it's getting filled with stone then some top soil and a few plants. It'll be getting plastered on the outside with white cement...

Some rough c**t. Left a right mess he did! Yeah toothing in with blocks or bricks is the best option I can think off. Scratch then float a d put reveal on. If you think this is bad, the lintel head is 2 inch's of level. There'll be some dicking about dubbing out for the head reveal.

Howya everyone. Haven't been on here in a while hope everyone keeping well. Write long thread looking tips on sorting this mess for new reveal but it didn't post so have to write it all out again but keeping it short and simple. Tips on sorting this mess out for new reveal. It's to thick to...

Howya lads. Haven't been on here in a good while. Hope everyone keeping well. Mate of mine getting some work done on his house and got someone to cut track out for a door and make a mess of it. Just running it by yous for ideas on sorting this for a plate reval. It's abit much to be dubbing...

I had Madea 5-1 at 412/1 and money 2/1 at good odds. Was going to do kyogo 2-1 but decided on mooey ffs hahaha

As the title says, Glasgow derby day cup final. Celtic been in fine form all year as expected. Big Ange has us playing some outstanding football and today if them refs and var aren't at the aul cheating again, I expect nothing but a Celtic win.

I'm s stonemason aswell. Stone sills 1200euro. Over sill free. If the oversills fail in a decade or so or even less, stone sills will go in. Just didn't want the hassle removing old sills and putting new in.

Just seen this section of the forum. Please see picture of insulated oversill on my house. Joined in two sections by epoxy resin and bedded in adhesive after both areas primed and sealed at the window and reveals with polymer sealant. Looking recommendations on how to finish these sills plus...

Thst moment when you realize you f**k*d up! Well not me, my son put stone under the left hand side after I set the cill in adhesive and sealed all joints with polymer sealant. The left cut was a thicker bed of adhesive so he thought to put a stone under it so it wouldn't sink. Yes, but the left...

I was really expecting things to take a nose dive after xmass but I'll be busy right through to the summer and beyond going by my phone now. Although, some in the quarries have said the concrete for foundations aren't got out as quick as before.

Shelf life of Honey is thousands of years! Or even forever. It's something that never goes off

Trying to get the screeding is aswell . Hungry f**k*r I am lol

Years ago they used to put matchsticks just below the bottom and brood box for ventilation.

What way yous doing it now? All boards?

3500 jars! Holy f**k! Amazing. Jars are selling here for 10e. That's 35k. Not bad . Fs I'm happy with 50. Do you insulate your hives?

Client's helped with bringing materials to where I needed it and their son did but of mixing, tidying up. Apart from that. Did everything from digging, foundations, blocks, warm roof, screeded floors, ensuite, plastering, painting etc.. hungry f**k*r I am haha

Yeah, the resin is a good shout. I was thinking of bedding the cills on with exterior tile adhesive instead of foam. Thoughts on this?

Same here. They would put your head away trying to work them out but there's just something about them thst I won't give up. I'm down to two hives thou. Far to busy to go with any more. Good to hear your still with them.

I'm the same. Don't trust many and e en at that, a few still would steal the eyes from the back of your head if you weren't looking. I ended up doing a full extension on my own ffs because of the limited amount of people I trust where do busy. The self employed is wrecking my head recently...

I forget, I usually just give notes, get drinks and put change back in my pocket. Although I think it's 5.50euro a pint of Guinness

How's everyone getting on anyway. I think it's been well before the covid carryon I posted on here. Maybe 4 years. How's Dan getting on with the bees. Last time I posted here things where still tight work wise and picking up. Last few years, it's been f**k**g ridiculous how much work is...

This! That bluegrit is s**t! It's failed 3 times on me. Cuntish and embarrassing when it happens. Pva, I don't think it's ever failed on my yet.

Howya everyone. Haven't posted in a few years. Forgot my password and email and couldn't log in fs. Guessed it tonight and bingo, first time hahaha. Anyway, I'm doing a stonejob on my own house at the moment. Couldn't be f**k*d taking the cills out and putting new ones in so I'm going to put...

Done a bit of research on it and it's a product I think I'll be using in the next extension I build however this time, the clients didn't want to pay the additional costs for it. 42 f**k**g euro a bag and it was saying we needed 40 bags for 7/1 mix. 40sq meters of 75mm screed.

Anything different from it than ordinary S&C screeds. Can't seem to find a forced action mixer for hire anywhere near me either.

Have you used this. It's saying an hour working time. Would like it to be abit more TBH. Just seen a YouTube clip on it. 7/1 mix with sand although ones needs a Baron forced action mixer. Difficult to find here to hire out

B Briefly looked at it. Will look again tomorrow. Isn't that for mixing oneself

I already knew dehumidifiers not great but have never seen or heard of horror stories with them for screed. I've seen some horrific screeding jobs but still do it's purpose. One was like sand and 10mm of rubbed up hard part. Lasted since the 70s untill last year I lifted it. I can't see a...

This deadline has been moved so many times because of other set backs. Dec1st is max I have to it

Never heard anyone doing this. Wouldn't try it unless I seen it done. To risky and f it's done wrong.

I'll be the only one laying and it's 40sq meters extension. I'm slow thou. I take my time so it's perfect. How long it take to set?

I usually get ready mix from the quarry. Hate mixing it. Does it set quicker playing time aswell or just setting time after laid

Can't see me getting this here on west coast of Ireland

Was thinking about the dehumidifier but there'll be tiling and painting happening as soon as it's walkable. Surely this would effect the adhesive and paint

Have an extension I've to screed this Monday. Was supposed to have it screeded two weeks ago but was let down by the plumber and he couldn't get first fix in untill late this week. I have a deadline to have this extension finished out, painted, doors skirting on and concreting done outside...

Anyone know are these any good. Seems very thin and looks ackward to install

Excellent but your off your head with 40 hives haha. I was running about like a headless chicken with 7. Taking a break from it for awhile because soooooo busy and can't fit the time in to look after them. Good luck though on the hives

Well, here we go haha. Once side blew off on me. Soaked the f**k out of both sides with a hose for f**k**g ages. The wall took some water I tell ya and one side still blew off on me. Going to board it now instead. Client wouldn't mind insulated board on this side. Any recommendations for...

?

Will just water it all down best I can to take the suction out to see how I get in.

Sand and cement

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in ages as ridiculously busy plus forgot my password but onna job now I need to pick your brains on. First question is the engineer specified I split a room in two using thermal blocks. I've done this but now it's time to board, float and skim the extension and...

This is my own house. I built it when I was a young lad. 24 got planning permission then proceeded to built it myself in the following years. Here's where I f**k*d up slightly. This picture is of the child's room. The light switch to the ceiling there's a fine crack following the conduit...

f**k**g daft of me for even asking this Q as I was expecting it to turn out like it did. Just Abit to much plssterciser in it. All good now thou haven't had the chance to float the second coat because busy with other work

No weight change here. Built this all through the lockdown while getting cooked in the sun. Double sided,both sides. Torture it was getting it so tight. Lots of work to keep the calories burning all day. Even worked late on it most days!

Redoing around dormer windows. Prepped with breathable felt , expanded metal. Scratched and beaded yesterday. Threw on late enough about 4ish. This morning was going to finish it but still soft. Even now still softish. The mix was 4:1 with SBR . I usually use the green waterproofer but didn't...
