Wife quit work to have a baby so maybe feeling the impact a bit nice than most

Feeling the slow down a touch, how's everyone else doing

Just show her you still love her mate...easy...if she loves dancing take her dancing...if she loves heavy metal take her to her rock concert or anything inbetween....after 40 years you know what puts a gleam in her eye so do that so she looks at you like it's 1982...and well done on 40 years

Bryan you add a lot to the conversation...we'll done on your clever gif use (not overly original)

It's alright Andy wanting to ping chalk lines everywhere but you do that on a nottingham 1930's semi you'll make it look dog s**t....you'll take all the windows out and the frames out and your customer will be asking why the f**k did you do that to my house....and I'm sure Andy would stand there...

So does it turn out we agree:sorprendido3::sorprendido3:

My point was no one cares...I've never met a customer who gave a shite other than their room looked nice.....I don't work on 10 million pound houses just normal working class semis and detached in a subsidence area where there houses are totally f**k*d out of square

Well thanks for calling me a good guy..I'm sure we'd laugh at this conversation over a pint...unlike most I've had many pints with many tpf members and the thing that came out of them all is..............they all thought I was a c**t

Maybe

I've never put a rule across a window and in 10 years no ones ever said a word

Think some of you lads think your rocket scientists the way you talk about boarding And I'll be making just as much as you, probably more as I don't just plaster I do full conversions...I'm happy to be a mug and keep getting paid more and more and more

Think some of you lads think your rocket scientists the way you talk about boarding and skimming

It's boarding a wall, some people make a big deal out of it

That's the point though...I don't care, I do it how's easiest for me and so it looks fine....I would never bother to look if that helps as I wouldn't be bothered what the answer was

If I'd last 1 hour on site I don't care as the moneys s**t for killing yourself...that was my point

Wrong because you say it is? Your brought site up, I was commenting that site is s**t money (which it is)

Calm down studknit...I don't care how you do things, what you earn or where you work...and you also called me out apparently which I also don't care about. You make your money and I'll make mine...peace brother

Mate you've got me wrong...I couldn't give a shite what the right way is...I don't care in the slightest...I'll do it my way and you do it yours...keep slugging away lad on site for shite £ per m and make sure to remind me how good you are occasionally

OK...I don't want to be onsite so that's just fine with me

And if the walls out of plumb I tell the customer to go with it because a reveal 190mm at the bottom and 210mm at the top also looks dog s**t

Reveals first to run with the frame (it's OK being right but it makes it look dog s**t) leave em proud, board around, cut off the excess

I did a six week course and charged top brass from the day I finished it, infact i had jobs booked before i even started it ready...heading on 10 years ago now and absolutely raking it in during boom time...did six weeks in domestic electrics too...f**k everyone else go with your gut...everyone...

A round of applause for the thread title, made me chuckle

Well the bloke asked about 1 coating

That sounds like 4 coats to me

I'd probably also say I'd f**k*d his wife while on the job and he's just found out and that's why he's s**t his pants...prove that f**k*r either way

It's the principal...I'd spend a few grand fighting him and I'd be counter claiming for anything I could think of...loss of earning, damage to reputation, mental stress etc etc

Tell him you'll hire an independent surveyor to look at the job and he will judge it as mentioned above, the centre of the room in natural daylight

Tell him to suck a dick...court wouldn't find in his favour after that time frame...I'd tell him to do his worst

It was a nightmare pete...its good in theory but just not worth the hassle...we gave it a good shot but I'm sure 2 sets by hand the 3 of us would have done more

How come there's not more fanny jokes? I hope the plasterers forum isn't loosing it's edge

This feels like it will end in tears

The boil won't burst...the government will make courses and lower required standards to suit...I'm taught from 6 week courses....sparking and plastering and I do both fine

25m is only just over 2 bags over 2 coats...if you can't do that call someone as your not ready for real world plastering

No where near as good as me

As I've said I'm fully diagnosed

I disagree.. my bi polar was diagnosed when I was 16 and I was weird all the way through growing up and shouldn't have had any real cares at that age

Same I got that tip off here a few years ago...can't remember who mentioned it

I knew mate you weren't denying it...my life is good now, I've two kids and the tools to tackle it...I feel for the lads that don't have them tools as there will be so many more than we think

You're a fool, your so embarrassing I feel embarrassed to be embarrassed on your behalf

Dan, As you know I have bi polar disorder, I suffer with episodes of psychosis and obsessive compulsive disorder (I count how many times I swallow a day to work out as an average what is normal for me) I understand that some people like tonym are dubious having never suffered but mental health...

Mt start to finish...the last trowels aren't hard work if it's already flat and in place early doors

Think people forget there's a difference between being self employed and making a wage and having a business and making a wage and that business also making a profit

They do, 4 week nvq's available for bricklaying.

Yes you should contact him as it isn't right and I totally agree you need a job that's right. My only point was don't judge him or her too harshly, plaster and light are funny things...if that was done on a dull overcast day and the spread ( apparently foolishly) used a flexible trowel to...

You can still do most of those now....maybe not the Mrs one

f**k em mate...looks mint...it would eat me alive I reckon

Its not perfect but in all photos its got horrible light shining down it....even the ones in 'natural daylight' look like low morning sun belting right down it, you can tell by the shadows its casting on the sofa

Who framed the velux window when it was installed...if the framing was all unlevel it will cause the reveals to be all pissed up like that

Talk to your plasterers instead of going around them
