    Unifinish

    It boils down to have you tried it. How many have tried it? My missus goes on about how she hates seafood etc. but has never actually eaten clams and stuff

    Unifinish

    You're right. It's for artex, paint no suction. It'll go over everything else but you need to know timings as you'd expect. It's just crap marketing. It's something aimed at the DIY market that's never going to sell. Needs rebranding and repricing. It's got it's place. Nice bags as well. Has BG...

    Are you second coating with it? Second coating with it ends up streaky as f**k like the Exxon Valdiz

    Unifinish

    It would work. I'm no advocate of BG. But it's a good product imo. Just over priced. Well over priced. Which in the end will mean it won't get the exposure. Supply and demand. No merchants stock it near me.. Just B and Q at £12 plus a bag. Just don't get the bad feedback. It seems to be based...

    Unifinish

    Used unifinish today over artex ceiling and it was bang on as usual. Always second coat with board or uni. Did half the painted / scabby freeze in unifinish and the other in board. No problem with the unifinish but the board dragged because there was no suction. After that I went straight over...

    Staircase wall blown

    Sorry, he sounds okay. You just can't be too careful. I got messed about by that Nigerian Clyde that time with the post dated cheque.

    What are you doing today?

    Whole of upstairs is covered in Artex. It was out of date and got it for a pound a bag. Got ten bags, went back next day for the rest but they'd gone. They don't shift. The new pallet is out of date in three weeks so has been there a while. I find it fine Marshy. I only use it on artex tbh...

    Apprentice

    Why don't you take on a female like this bloke? They probably pat attention to detail and will work harder to prove themselves in what's viewed as a man's trade. Maybe they're a man and wife team like Hart to Hart? I wouldn't want to work with the missus all day. I look forward to getting out...

    What are you doing today?

    What are you up to today? Done nothing. Turned up this morning to a big damp patch in the ceiling. Got up in the attic to sort that and found the front purlin has split. Wondered why the hatch to the attic was boarded over. It's longstanding but will have to sort it in case surveyor sees it...

    Washing work clothes

    It's not that hot. Like Pagey says. It's easy to strip down to a t shirt or wear shorts if it's going to be warm. Last few weeks when it's cold I've worn skins under them. Just take the boiler suit off at the end of the day give it a shake and you're done. Just dusty workboots. Don't have to...

    Washing work clothes

    Possibly. I wear a boiler suit over everyday clothes. It's easy to take off if you're going shopping or the pub after work. I wash them at the launderette every few weeks.

    Plasterboard onto the underside of RSJ?

    Nice tidy site. That padstone looks a bit pissed? Overhang the noggins at the front and screw some 19mm batten into the top of the doorframe with grab adhesive on back against beam and side against frame.

    Dot & dab not drying out in new plaster

    Rumsfeld is a Zionist puppet. Check out Project for the New American Century. If your need is to redecorate quickly batten and board.

    Dot & dab not drying out in new plaster

    I wouldn't do that for a big clock. Just take it back to the wall. Slice along the ceiling line with a stanley where he would have scrimmed.

    Dot & dab not drying out in new plaster

    It's like 70s wallpaper in George and Mildred. You'll be waiting forever and a day for it to dry out. Batten, board and skim like already suggested and you'll be off and running.

    I agree about the trousers. They didn't sit right with me from the beginning. There's a few other inconsistencies as well such as he's mic'd up with the the wire coming from the back of his trousers, his boots seem too clean in comparison with the job. You'd expect plaster all over the bottom of...

    That's a good plan. Sometimes it's right in front of you and you don't see it.

    Anyone any good with reorganising house layouts?

    Turn it into a HMO. Keep the kitchen and bathroom where they are unless you're renting to more than five people then you'll need two. Divide the main lounge diner into two smaller bedrooms. Have a corridoor to access those two rooms together with the sunroom which you could also turn into a...

    You've a point there. She had a son as well. He was the one selling the property. Got it for a song. He didn't even haggle. Just wanted shut of it. Her name was Doris. Found some old photos from behind a radiator. All torn in half. Taken in Brussels in 83. Strange just another life gone.

    Lovely work. I can see why you're in demand. That's all I want to do but most days. Place I'm doing at the moment I was speaking to the young girl next door who is gorgeous and she told me the old dear that lived there had been dead in the place for two months before they found her. Crazy.

    I've worked all over. In my earlier years I did the pubs and clubs. But then I started body building. I haven't worked away for a while but I would probably join a gym and meet people that way. Or join meet up or something similar. Im on a rambling group on meet up. Tends to be older types but...
