first point i never said a reskim in 2 days more like 5 but your standard semi on new work any spread and lab should knock it out in 2 days i dont care what your saying the only people who argue about this are the ones who cant hack it, i know a spread who is old 68 and still works on site and...

i dont know where you come up with this s**t, on site a spread and lab will knock a too bed house out in 2-3 days so if its a overskim etc a hard 5 days 300 for lab and 900 for spead sorted one spread 14 days to do a 2 bed house is it a tardis or something

its aimed at everyone tradesmen learning about new products, homeowners that want to have a bash themselves or homeowners that use the magazine as a refference to see what standard the work should be done to then when they employ a trademan they know what they should be having done, kirk im just...
hey guys,
some people i know are starting a magzine similar to the american publication fine homebuilding (google it) as there is nothing similar in the uk. they are currently reading the first issue for publication and they are startting articles for the next couple of issues. features in the...
100m2 a day is easily achievable its just down to how you work. how many lads sit down with a butty or a fag etc after they have laid down their walls. all the big hitting spreads are using that time to bead/tape etc other areas or load bags up etc etc. you have to be efficent at every aspect...
its a bunaglow kirky and wants it to match the one next door which has just been re done, so dont think im going to get much of a chance to change the ladys mind. no not been to keyline yet cheers dfella.
i agree with you kirk i do, but who is goling to pay to have cornice run when they can use the money towards that new 60 inch led tv. the world is changing pal people dont want skilled craftsman in there homes they want to buy a house quick lick of paint themselves from b and poo then sell it...
have you done the standard concrete finish church or do you mean a more terrzo (spelling) effect where you can polish it up with different aggrigates and pigments. (i cant spell to save my life by the way)
yea i understand what your saying steve but if you choose to do this job you might as well try to enjoy it. you might be doing it for another forty years yet.
hi guys, woke up late yesterday morning and had an email from a mate saying national homebuilding show was on at nec. but it was too late for me to get there. so headed over to john boddys timber in north yorks to get myself some sweet chesnut for a hall mirror and some oak to make a bed frame...
thats what i would do but she wont have it wants wet plaster, but because she dont want it skimming just unsure what to use. has anyone tiled over hardwall/ or bonding coat without skim?
she is a pain in the arse. wants it all doing behind the bath so no battern, they have a friend who is a "builder" you want see her extension he did lol. and they just do everything he says. so no battern round the wall and i dont know if she will go for the hack everything else off idea i will...
been asked to do a job for a good friend, which as usual she wants doing on the cheap. its a bathroom that has been hacked off about half way up some of the walls the rest of the old sand and cement is stable. she wants me to re plaster the missing bits then a thin coat on top of all the old as...
just out of curiousity anyone here goty size 14 or bigger feet if so what steel toe cap boots do you wear and where do you get them from. im sick of having sore feet from bad fitting shoes.
shocking init steve but that what the lads at are firm get, or just fifty a day and two of them will load up four big three storys slave labour, they should get some of them boom trucks they have in the states
Dont need to know anything cheers diggler was just curious as to how much work you guys were doing with artex, heard a rumour redrow still use it on new build cant be true though can it?
how many of you guys get asked to do new work in artex, or 'blending' in. just been asked to do two ceilings in a house first time in a couple of years for me.
cheers boys i thought it might be easier when dabbing a house out on your own through some drywall adhesive in and let it mix whilst your cutting boards up
personally on new build i think spreads and tackers/dabbers should be on the same wage, if you think about it by the time you load up all these awkward three storys blue noard every where insulate everywhere then ten other different boards around the house foam superlines on rakes and all that...
i know what you saying bruce but i cant knock mine not had a problem with it yet. when i get tax rebate in summer i will be getting a new van thinking along the lines of a lwb medium roof transit then get a erbaspacher diesiel heater in so i can have the van defrost itself on a timer in winter...
