    What Advice would you give teh public when looking for a plasterer

    Don't even joke at the begining of last year I under quoted by a full day to one customer, she asked how much and all I could think was I wouldn't mind 5 seconds with you and before you all think 5 sec anyone would have been hard pushed to last any longer !

    Thieving bastards

    I've been lucky so far nothing stolen, I've got a van vault sideways on in the side door loading area with the hinges to the back of the door, it's also bolted through the chassis. I drilled the boxed in lock holes out a bit more as well for larger more secure padlocks, think they were about £80...

    Coving advice

    I just used a standard mitre box, 2 5mm glazing Packers taped together and then make another set to create a pair, it's easy to adjust to suit. As long as it measures 84mm on the heel edge with the flatter part of the profile aimed towards the bottom of the mitre block. Just cuts perfect each...

    Sounds like my set up 2 5mm glazing packs taped together either side of the mitre block cut so the saw can pass through.

    Coving advice

    Normally I use it all at once and don't save any left over coving, it's the first time I've seen it that far out. It could be any number of things, my main concern was has something changed, but I think we can rule it out now. These were just 2 off cuts while I set the mitre block up, but their...

    Coving advice

    I'm coving out a room, cut the mitres, nothing matched up, I'm using gyproc cornice 135 Has the profile been changed recently? Or have I got a dud batch. I'm using 1 length from 1 box and a length from another, but I would have expected it to vary slightly but not this much! Anyone else had...
