I remember pulling some stones out if it around 10 - 15mm wide as it annoyed the hell out if me when floating up.

Trying to remember what the sand was like. It's the only thing I can put it down to as the other walls are fine and that was with the different sand. All done at the same time as well. I'm hoping I have some left over sand in the garage that I can you and check.

Yeah scratch was left for around 5 days. Floated up then used a sponge. Pulling the last of my hair out over this. Theres no blown areas so thinking about this bedec paint on one section to see if it works and go from there.

Cheers for all the replies! There was a shovel of lime in the top coat and the wall is a South Westerly I did keep misting it through out the day and the following day! The exact same mix on the other wall is fine apart from the sand which was still plastering sand but from a different merchants.

Need some advice from you guys on a sand and cement rendering job I did back in September. All Old render was removed. Rendagrip applied. Then a scratch coat at 5-1 with waterproofer then once dry a top coat of 6-1 with febmix. It has been painted with sandtex once dried. Had a call saying...

Not going to lie, when I did it, I had a little smile on my face! Although could have been fart!

I have used them Once when there was some thin glass doors around. I tied abit of cord to the hook then put a screw in a board and tied ya other end to that - so if it slipped then the prop wouldn’t fall very far away from me or worse go through the thin glass. Not sure if it’s meant for that...

Is he still there?

I'm not in Devon - but a customer got around 10 bags in from travis, notnsire if it was just lucky though maybe worth a call!

If no sign of damp and it's not a solid wall you could just use hardwall

I may get some work then!!

Cheers buddy.

I get told off for that already but will replace .,,. With a water bottle.

See I knew he was!!

Thanks for this!!!

Will check this spray stuff out? I'm sure people know I'm in pain as been holding my elbow all day crying

How do you know he isn't in a forum???

Cheers will try this!

Hi All, So given myself tennis elbow. Tried resting from last Thursday so almost a week. Went to hardwall today and it's back to hurting again. Have a strap for the fore arm - are these any good? Any other tips to get back to it quicker?? Cheers

Shame you're not closer my labourer is on his last chance! I reckon he will be binned by Wednesday.

Hey there bud!! Been thinking about relocating out that way. What's the work like out there buddy?

Bloody hell that is a lot!! Think wickes is about £6. I'm managing to get it for just under £5 at the moment

Yeah I've done it with sand and cement but need the building to be breathable. I've spoken to the guys at Mike Wye and think I have a plan now. Just want this weather to make up its mind - bloody showers!!

@Bauwer can your exeterier finishes be flicked on with a tyrolean gun??

Thanks for your reply buddy.

Hi lads and ladies, After a quick bit of advice - I am doing tyrolean repair on an old building where a new extension meets it. The tyrolean finish on the old part has come away from the top coat And is just hanging on. On first inspection the top coat sounds and looks in good condition...

I got one a while ago get on ok on walls but struggling to control it on the pole for ceilings. Got a family job coming up Ina. Couple of weeks so will get some practice in then!!

really should have put "my man boobs"

See a chiropractor or someone. My lower back was hurting because my pecs were tight and pulling me ever so slightly forward (without noticing) which in turn put pressure on my lower back.

I'm sure I saw this in wickes today!! Was In a rush so didn't look too much at it but it's right at the front where everyone walks in.

You should have said that's fine but when it paints fine you owe me an extra £50 for with holding money hahaha

Cesar Malan Is a Tw*t!! He shouldn't be able to have a dog show at all! Have you seen where he gets bitten? Also he was being sued As some pigs got attacked by a dog that was meant to be being trained by the muppet!!

I've always wondered if that has happened?!

I'm sure it could be cleared up if you asked him quickly?

Would love to learn this!! How did you get in to it? I haven't done much with lime to be honest and trying to find a place to refresh and pick it all back up again!

A punch.......?? Yeah hahaha!!

We should charge for counselling sessions as well as plastering. The amount of customers that start talking about personal issues etc is quite high. My labourer got it the other day when a women started saying she had moved this way to get away from domestic violence and went into great detail...

Couldn't have worded it better!!! You've got screw loose if you think endangered animals are the same as killing chickens etc!!

Love a freshly boarded room. Looks good boarding that!!

Did the customer pay for that??

Had a job before Christmas where the customer was a really heavy smoker. I was skimming a bathroom and he was there smoking away - I had to ask him if he didn't mind not smoking upstairs while I was there working as if he continued I would have to leave. He moved into the bloody landing and...

Is it a solid wall or cavity?

That's my brothers number so can't have that one! That's how much we know of horses haha!

Any tips for Newbury races tomorrow then lads?? I am crap at picking horses!

How much you pay for it in the end? And where did you get it from buddy?

I Put scratch coat on then bed it in

You need to put your prices up ;)

Looks good buddy, you finish with the sf also? Or give it a last sweep over with the trowel?

I'll be home in time to watch Jeremy Kyle then! The neighbours will think I'm on the dole!

Mine just arrived in the post today. The st and sf. Looking forward to using them next week.
