And yet you still replied. Have you got the hang of green grit yet?

f**k**g new members sweeping in and stealing the crumbs from in front of the regular guys. Disgraceful!

I was replying to Damien about a arch render bead, they work just fine with sand and cement. We've had them in the past with a 10mm arris as well and used those with Parex Monoblanco.

Oh as bad as that? Never mind the 12.5kg bag of Easifil will get you out of trouble.

I've no idea about removing the stain, but painting the affected area will stand out worse than the stain.

I don't know about now, but back when I was on site the NHBC inspector said they weren't required on a rendered property and to just remove/knock them in.

Yes they do mate, I've used them a good few times.

I'm Jess' friend and I was talking to her.

Whereas tanking it will be a piece of piss?

And with that, I'm out.

So you've cut through the scrim when prepping for the filler?

How did you persuade @Casper to do the beading for you?

See @JessThePlasterer this why it's not worth your time typing.

Oi Mrs 000 get off his account.

@John j reckons it'll do at least three one bag a week. He also said he thinks it could do considerably more if he plugged it in, but then the motor wouldn't last as long.

You site slag you.

Rj you really, really don't want to be giving @JessThePlasterer your phone number, several of us have made that mistake. How many restraint orders have you got against you now Jess? Got to be in double figures.

Dave mate, you are not a bit stupid at all.

Shut up Walter you delusional clown.

I love doing coving. Used to earn really well out of it, I wish every house had to have it. Apart from mine of course.

Stop being a tool and do it properly.

BG coving is absolutely shite now. The paper used is simply not fit for purpose.

It might be worth talking to both Building Control and whoever is involved with the 'buildings of historical interest', as to what their expectations are, should you remove your current render. My place was built around about 1800. Red brick, no cavity and for many, many years rendered with a...

As I said before, I bet you're f**k**g hopeless at float and set. Slow as f**k, with no idea about doing it at pace and to a high standard. C & G, don't make me laugh, 100 attempts at getting a wall right ha ha ha.

I used those trowels for all my floating and rendering for years mate. Apart from when I was wearing in one of the grey handled stainless trowels I used for skimming.

He was probably s**t at that mate.

I knew the root of your dislike of Jewsons was Tottenham/religion based. I've not dealt with any merchant who gives me better prices than Jewsons across the board.

As Spit said, it's all about building up a relationship with the merchant. If you walk into any merchants straight off the street the prices will appear crazy expensive compared with what you'll pay as an account customer with a good relationship. I doubt many people pay the prices Jewsons have...

Says someone who is clearly useless at float and set. I'll bet you've never float and set ten full houses on the bounce, ever. f**k**g clueless.

You've got to remember I haven't got a pair of crossed hammers tattooed on my forehead, so probably get treated better than you?

Jewsons mate. Been using them almost exclusively (not small items) for fifteen years or so.

If you're buying decent quantities of course you're reliant on the merchants, but trust me we get looked after pretty well.

A lot of spreads, myself included, prefer/insist on tacking the ceilings ourselves. It is very, very rare that a DIY person will fix the board correctly. In fact I'm not sure if I've ever witnessed it? In the grand scheme of things the saving you would make by tacking the ceilings yourself is...

I'd just got up then you nugget. We hardly ever use 6 x 3's but considering quite a few of our jobs will require three or four different types and sizes of board spread over three, four or more pallets I don't really see how a bigger van would help?

Because Bonding is the wrong material for the substrate you have (99% certain). There are an awful lot of 'plasterers' these days that are clueless about float and set and think Bonding is for everything, when in fact it's for very little really. Soot requires a whole other level of prep work to...

I used to run an elwb Vito and even then you couldn't keep everything, for every eventually in it. A few years ago I decided to only run the one vehicle for everything, work, fishing and just generally getting around and my double cab truck was it. To be honest the truck really wasn't the best...

As some have said, one of your biggest problems will be finding someone who can do a decent job of float and set nowadays, should you prefer that option. Tip: if someone mentions Bonding for the job, f**k them off straightaway. Personally I think you should be paying at least 40% more for the...

To be honest if it's a small job you can get a few 6 x 3 in the back of needed, plus plaster etc. The payload is actually very impressive for a small van and it needs to be with a fat c**t like me driving it. Most jobs we do the gear is coming straight from the merchants anyway.

I assume you're referring to the being a peasant bit? In which case, yes.

Well that leaves poor peasants like myself in a mire.:cry:

Funny you should say that

Ah just as we all suspected. It's good that you feel you can talk about it and regard this as a safe space (shut up @000).

I'm all good cheers Dave. Yep it takes 3m beads no problem. The top half of the main passenger seat folds forward and there's a little door in the bulkhead, so things don't lay in the footwell, they're on the back of the seat. The third seat is f**k**g tiny and in truth barely useable. My son...

@ChrispyUK I see you've disagreed with wayners, which part exactly were you disagreeing with and what would be your course of action? I've done a thorough search of the CHD archives and can't find any relevant information.

I'm absolutely loving the lwb Transit Connect mate. It has the load through passenger seat, so even 3m beads, rules etc. aren't a problem. I barely ever use the roof bars.

Bloody hell mate, what have you got against the poor cow to point her towards the train crash of a tradesman that is @JessThePlasterer ?

Yeah and with a shitty nappy on.

Back when I was probably 18 or so (years not st.) a guy where I fished had a normal looking household phone on top of a big wooden box that he took to the lake with him. That really must have been one of the very earliest mobile phones?

Their branch in Chelmsford is open something like 363 days a year. The counter is always well staffed and the staff are polite, efficient and helpful. It's like the complete opposite of using Barclays.
