    2 coats from 1 bucket

    Okay. It's easjet to mix a small fresh batch. Takes no time. You re temper it and it will go off like f**k. Might be okay on smallish area. but you always want to be in control

    I know. My contract is up in January but I don't know what to choose next. I have the Nokia Z Launcher on my LG now. Brilliant and simple. That's why I would never use Apple. Because you are stuck to their apps and pricing for the dongles headphones etc. But each to their own. Hope you like it...

    Unhappy with plastering work but unsure what to expect?

    Kate, if you can't pay out again,you could try doing it yourself. It won't be a great finish but would be better that what he's left. Take a look at this guy's series of videos - the plastering ones not the clothing. He runs through the plastering process and makes it simple and self...

    The cult of apple is insidious. I'm sorry. I don't want to put a downer on your purchase but if you are still within the 28 day day cooling off period for god's sake cancel. Try an LG G5 or a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. At least you'll be able to sleep at night...

    Unhappy with plastering work but unsure what to expect?

    I would have thought your partner's uncle would have known a plasterer? If you don't know one, or your friends can't recommend one, you can try sites like MyBuilder. The tradesmen on there have to do a good job otherwise they get negative reviews and no more work. It's as simple as that. Choose...

    You've passed the GPS initiation process, Kate. Back to your original post. It's awful work. You don't need anyone to tell you that. Makes my blood boil that customers get ripped off by wankers like this. Name and shame him. He might well be on here. The sad thing is it will cost you more to...

    Who do you think is going to win the election, Kate? Trump or Clinton? Here's an interesting article I was reading earlier about Clinton. She's evil. http://interactive.nydailynews.com/2016/11/op-ed-case-against-hillary-clinton/ I'm thinking that should she look like losing there might very...

    Kate, he's actually done venetian plastering on the ceilings. A special finish. That alone would cost what you paid for the entire job. Gift horse in the mouth comes to mind.

    I like speedskim. I got a 600 and 1200 when they first came out but only use the 600 really. Keep meaning to cut the 1200 down. I don't think this is anything new. Have super profs and eze spats that do exactly the same thing.
