Nice 1, 110mm?

Just out of interest, which fixings did you, do you use for insulated plasterboard?

Trowel is fine, it works! nice handle (cork) Spent a couple of hours with a whet stone, made a huge diff, still needs breaking in a bit more though

Sent mine back, went all warped, gotta nela 14 inch instead, it works

Check Rambooo

Had the same dilemma 6 mth ago, I got it £70 cheaper so no brainer, the guys are right maybe a bit of overkill, but it is a beast Check the weight as well, it's a heavy beast!

It's 3 mth & used quite a bit but reverted bck to mt a lot Would you advise wet & dry or a wet stone, don't get near any screeding Is it just the final pass for you or have you tried laying on with it?

Do you use your medi for anything else, like 2nd coating? If not why not? I've not tried it for owt else yet, but I'm finding my medi is tearing on last pass, maybe timings or not enough water?

I'm guessing Vincey ur talking unifinish? And if so what if it's thick artex and u need a magic mix, would u mix uni with bonding?

Isn't it what comes out of a woman's tuppance

Gotta love customers... Did a bathroom a few weeks ago, no toilet so he made me a makeshift one with pipes and a funnel in his kitchen (empty no sink etc), awesome, makes a change a customer caring

Cheers Customer told me not to bother, I did anyway, I was happy, they were happy!

U guys always add angle beads on top of old ones on reskims or just skim up to the old ones? I've always added & quoted for, wots common practise?

Cheers Done a lot of research on here about rolling sets, not done a ceiling big enough to warrant it yet, but my time will come I always look at ceilings in thirds, so yea prob right splitting up into 10m2 Do you set up with planks etc if so how many

Hi Lodan Just wondered how you set up for the day, I'm guessing u didn't just have a hop up! Did u have a labourer with u? Just finished a 20sq mtr today on my own.... after boarding it!! I'm kernakered

I got a stainless ox piping trowel 6 months ago, rusted after 1st use Shoulda sent it bck but couldn't be arsed I noticed somebody else posted the same about them months ago

It's late & a bottle of red, did u say skim a cat

Are u going to soak it in vinegar & coke ( the trowel) noted a pic a few weeks ago from vincey his looked pretty cool?

Cash is the best, just closed our local bank so it's a trip to the city centre to pay any cheques in, generally if a cheque is mentioned I'll just give them a look! On this occasion I just wanted payin

Worry over, got a cheque lst fri, just cleared!!

Not a massive outfit but a recommended local guy and absolutely agree there's no excuse As for not having a plasterer he does a couple, but the job was a couple of weeks over, they needed to get to their other jobs Last 2 things I said to him before I left was if he was happy with the work...

I'm generally a good judge of character and still think I'll get it, just when He's busy so don't think he'll be folding anytime soon, but u never know! I've done big quotes before and told them I wanted paying after each room, always thought that was fair enough

Certainly not scared but maybe a bit too trusting He was a decent guy as well enjoyed working with him

Just thinking flynnyman if they weren't going to cough up they wouldn't bother texting, emailing apologising etc surly they'd just go f**k him?

Duly noted nicm

Cheers flynnyman, cheered me right up! based in Sheffield

It's a builder with lots more work promised for the future and yea your right they needed me pretty quick at the time, I was quiet at the time so jumped on it, 1st time working for a builder

Don't usually agree a payment date, always presume as soon as jobs complete and customer is happy No probs generally

Most I've waited before is 2 wks and hacked off with that at the time I was emailed last wk stating it would be paid at the beginning of this wk so waited no probs, I then sent a text giving them a gentle reminder Then got a text back that it was been sorted this wk Then I got a text...

How long is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a job to be paid It was a 3 wk job (a decent amount of cash) and I've now waited 3 wks for the payment

Got some polybacked runners from screwfix which are what used today around the 2 frickin heavy settees they left in the middle of the room! along with some old curtains Might check out the wickes ones 10% off and all, like the idea of just chucking rather than cleaning Marshy u kill me, but 1 for u

Who uses wot, I currently use a lot of tarps but always find washing a pain in the rear, I'm tight and won't buy new ones for every job Cotton dust sheets I find fecks up the washing machine Left a job today, wooden floor was dusty as hell, I did sweep, but customer(very nice) said don't worry...
