    Window vent covers

    Has anyone seen these vent covers that are going on windows? It’s like a drip bead fitted to the tops of the windows above the vent. What an absolute ballache these are going to be to work around, head is a pain to bead, apu’s are a pain to do and then working around them with a small tool...

    How to clean k-rendered wall?

    It not only cleans but the chemicals in it prohibit future growth. It’s not perfect, can take time, but it takes a lot of the scrubbing and very harsh chemicals out of the cleaning process.

    Self employment: WHY !

    I’ve got to the point where I can’t be arsed with domestic work and dealing the public. They’re so needy and demanding and it’s getting worse. Had a run of new builds and a couple of HMO’s and enjoyed it. Turn up, do your bit and f**k off home without earache all day and without having to keep...

    Render

    Not sure how it’s still losing the surface 3 years on. Doesn’t sound right. Maybe they didn’t brush it down when it was finished. Still, bit weird. Everbuild do a sealer that it nice a cheap, or at the other end of the scale Stormdry, if you’re staying in the property Stormdry would be the best...

    Anything poly modded can be a bit of a pig to get as good as an OCR. Just doesn’t have the same workability.

    Price per metre depending on thickness?

    If rates were really based on thickness then renderers and plasterers would be by far the best paid. Definitely the thickest I’ve ever met in my life.

    Apprentice wants out

    Will the third year get him level 3 though? I know from recent experience that the qualifications have changed and it now takes 3 years to reach level 2. Always worth pushing for level 3 even if it’s bullshit it opens a lot more doors later in life.

    Agree completely. Good and bad in both sides. Yes they really are leaning on off roaders now. Policing popular runs in the peaks recently. Easy targets rather than catching real criminals.

    I got a Nukeproof Digger. Got a dropper seat post on it too haha great bit of kit. Pushed it too hard and knackered the rear wheel bearing already though. Have to remember it isn’t a mountain bike.

    You should let me know when you’re heading up rivi and I’ll meet you. Not been out much, using a gravel bike on the road to stay fit. Other than that enduro motorbike. Was in IOM in October, green laning heaven. Hard graft with a stinking hangover every day :birra:

    Accelerator

    I took the chance before Xmas with some silicone and it didn’t pay off. The fookin rain was relentless. Forecasts not worth a wank either so I had two wash offs. Even with an accelerator. Just isn’t worth the risk in winter with our messed up climate. Mild yes, Dry, not a chance.

    Nothing at all. Wanted an auto and the crafter/tge look mint with all terrain wheels and tyres. Good for our modern wanky roads.

    So it begins !!!

    I ended up taking it back. Was a MAN TGE 180 Auto in Grey. Like rocking horse s**t to find but it had had a hard life. Found an oil leak too, Bi turbo engine so don’t want the hassle.
