I sort of thought that too. Dont know why

Its about time people just refused to travel into these zones including all deliveries but lorry drivers wont just like they didn't when car drivers tries to stop the petrol increases

Pretty good thanks. How about you? We managed to get a cottage down in Biddenden. Just what the Mrs wanted inglenook and beams everywhere, now she wants to move. Go figure. Yes same as you just adjust to the time of year. Always loved sand and cement, probably because I'm an old fart

H Hello Andy. Probably because they don't know how.

Then some poor house owner gets pissed off with the colour and gets something poor guy to come and paint it

Whatever it says on the bottle and hose the f**k*r down before starting

Make the lazy conning f**k*r hack it off. He should have known it was too hot

Bloody no!!!!!!

What won't stay up? His scim, distemper, the paint, the artex or whatever is underneath the paint. He can only stick to whatever is there if that fails. Its not his fault as long as he didn't know the existing was loose or became loose.

It looks like the base coat is sand and cement, you can see the devil float scratches. Cant make out what the top coat is. Looks like the base coat has cracked on the external , if it has blown take it off and start again with whatever you decide you want. As long as it is for outside.

Pva was too wet

I love bananas. They f**k**g hate me though

And plastic bleeds into your food too.

Used to be roughing out when I was a snap. Ere boy go rough out that EML

Z. Effing like that

Who going to scrub bleach into their mound,

You said that wasps had killed them, now we find out YOU! Did it. Tut tut tut

Nice one, you just made me laugh out loud, funny look followed from Mrs

Just moved to a village in Kent, had a brilliant Chinese take away, we move in someone else takes it over and it’s s**t

f**k I never knew you had a pierced lip

Have you tried donkey jizz? Does it work? Do you water it down? Does it have to be tacky like pva or SBR?

So much easier than nailing scaffold boards to a banker board, they were a god send. I actually had stomach muscles then, just a load of blubbery fat now.

We did, whole housing estates in Gravesend and Sittingbourne for a house building firm called SNW, they’ve gone now the recession f**k*d them over. I still have the Spurs from those days

So it should have been, horrendous stuff

A tin bath if you mean the old galvanised baths we used to use for knocking up by hand

That’s thrown another hand grenade into the hawk handboard debate. Now it’s dashing or harling they call it harling in the Shetland isles,

Looks like high build to me we rollered the f**k out of a lot of houses with that in the eighties

And the anti hawk demonstrations

And I suppose instead of a plasterers hod, you have a plasterers opensided bucket on a stick

Yes, scratch it then plant your beads on making sure the margin is the same from the sides of your fire place to the edge of the beads then the same distance all the way up between the beads the front face of the beads will have to be worked to the inside edge of the fireplace so you don’t lose...

No, I call a hawk a hawk, I call a hand board a piece of wood or a thing brickies use to hold their muck when pointing

The spiders don’t appear to think so

I would probably leave mine for a month or two but hey what do I know

There was one that went f**k off santa you c**t. I can’t remeber who it was by or any of the other words

And if you do don’t skim it when the PVA is tacky wait until it is completely dry

I think it’s because they consider your render easier to climb than a brick. Can you hang your coat on your flat? Render?

Surely not, he always comes across so friendly

May I enquire as to why you are going to give @essexandy a sound thrashing?

You read so much s**t on here, plastering is pretty damned easy but people insist on making it hard and expensive, I blame all these bloody courses

Just tell him to stop f**k**g your work up he is making it more difficult for you as you have to sort out his f**k ups on your work. Failing that drop him where he stands

It depends how he has fixed the Kingspan and what he has fixed it to. I would either get him to take responsibility for the plasterboard coming away or get him to take the Kingspan off and you do it all. If he takes responsibility you need it in writing

I have never seen anything like that before. I really don’t have a clue where to start but your picture above shows he is not a plasterer, you do not straight join cove, it should be mitred. You have my deepest sympathies try @JessThePlasterer and don’t tell @essexandy i told you that I will...

So true

And what’s wrong with the delightful Laura?

Your plasterer may not know how to float and set a wall, a lot of so called plasterers only know how to scim and so will dot and dab. A solid wall is much better (in my opinion) your chippy can fix it to the wall hopefully not having to pack it out if he does this can be easily sorted with the...

Float and set it

What a tight git, no wonder you live in Scotland

Over sixty threes not seventies

It might be Marina and the Diamonds Marina

Is that one of those hawks that’s about six inches square? I always thought they were for pointing, interesting to here they are called a handboard. Do you use midget trowels as well? Good job your not down south we use a hawk and they are around fourteen inches square imagine you having to use...
