U wot m8

It's the Dfr750z. I'm too r******d to embed it. I've not had a problem with it at all. Know people who have tho. I would prob go hilti if money wasn't an option for me

I've got the Makita one for longer screws. Doesn't miss a beat

Happened to me once really bad but it covered fine with paint. Painter spotted them in with a brush then 2 coats of paint and it was mint. He's not done anything wrong so he wants paying. Only way there's no risk of these things happening are if you fork out the money and rip the ceiling down...

If you go straight over you'll prob use more gear than the first time don't get caught out

Pre grit. Expensive but should kill the suction. Paint it on, leave it 24 hours, scrape any large clumps that stand proud then skim away.

I quite like it, reminds me of holidays to the Mediterranean

It's always the decorator throwing shade about other people's work. They've got a chip about not being a real trade. If you can piss you can paint

Quite poo

If you put your info on the invoice and they pay through their bank nobody should get a cut. If I'm doing a deposit or part payment I put on the invoice 1/3 payment etc and do multiple invoices. The one I use also logs what you've invoiced for then at the end of the year you can calculate what...

I second invoice simple, it's fast, and looks professional as you can add your logo and a signature. And as you said no more 'oh it mustn't have come through' b*ll***s.

A while ago someone I know rendered a large industrial unit, was obviously a lot of dough so did a payment plan as a one off. Few months down the line they went 'bust' and left the country. I'd steer clear of that shite

I was the first person there when that delivery dropped. I went back next day they had 2 pallets still. Day after they still had board finish. They're really good at looking after spreads

You see a fair bit of splitting hairs on here but that is straight up minging

It's down to 14 a bag near me, when do you reckon it's just not worth it for them?

Rare to see a good Samaritan like yourself in these desperate times. My Amazon driver doesn't even knock my door he just leaves everything on my doorstep. I guess it's all going out of date and your flapping?

We're all cut from different cloth mate, I think I'd be lucky to be able to graft at this at 41 let alone 71. First time my back went I was 15 so maybe it's genetics.

All the trades have pros and cons. Off the top of my head here's some of the things I don't like: I'm not even 30 and I have the joints of an old crone. My hand is that calloused it looks like I have a serious chronic masterbation problem. My lungs are probably buggered from years of not wearing...

Sad to hear about you getting stung for it. Same with any trade referrals best way to go about it, don't think anything less of us :hola:

In all seriousness mate, I hope you've not paid him. Get a reputable spread in to fix his f**k up, ask about and find someone that comes recommended

I'd bet he's used out of date multi or he's not got any hands

Welcome. I'm pretty new myself but I've picked up a few things. Don't talk about prices And don't work for people that buy cheap beans

The likes of B&Q and Wickes by me wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire. I got 15 bags from a homebase of all places.

Fair play mate, but next time grab as many as you can and sell it a spread for retail price, we need the charity at the minute thanks to the likes of eBay

Took me years to swap to Aldis version of the mars bar mate I'm not touching your s**t

When I was starting out I had to buy my own. Shiny new MT lasted a week in the van before it got nicked..

:hola:

There was someone selling a carrier bag of multi for a quid by me on gumtree I'm sorted mate

Shall we all meet up and beat him with socks filled with multi

Way more than I'd usually pay and better than 20 a bag from some eBay cretin.. both the jewsons I've been to have just got their first plaster deliveries. Guessing site backlog is sorting itself and we'll see it trickling through

£9.54 with VAT. No trade account tho

Where do they sell them.. asking for a friend

Hello fellow battery paddle w**k*r!

Just got 35 bags from jewsons, it's coming back in now

In an ideal world we'd all be able to get plaster, I see your point but there's no way to police who's buying plaster for DIY purposes or resale. It would take 5 minutes to verify people buying it for actual trade but would be open to abuse. If people stopped buying from these people then they'd...

One 12.5mm plasterboard meets the minimum requirements, I can't remember if it's 30 mins or an hour. The fire boards are a big increase and probably worth using if you don't mind spending the extra dosh.

I agree these parasitic traders are to blame, but for most of us it's our livelihood so we don't care who's buying it, just that we can't get any. No plaster means no work, no work means no money. How are you going to try and argue that having an undecorated room is the same as not being able to...

It makes ya laugh don't it. Shame he gave it the big man act on his fake profile then blocked me. I'd of asked if he wanted any Avon

He's just upset nobody will buy his multi she hasn't sold Avon for like 2 years so he's gone through her whole page for whatever reason. Thin skinned

He got a bit upset lads

I tried to do my bit, couldn't report it for some reason. Called him a c**t to make myself feel better.

Found a saw in a garden that had been buried for 30+ years, was a bit rusty but still sharp in perfect working order. I buy a saw now and it's blunt after half a day

Your analogy isn't 100% accurate. I get furloughed people are using the time to improve their homes, but Plastering isn't like cleaning, cleaning would be considered essential. A DIYer skimming a couple walls could potentially wait. People are right when they are saying their livelihoods are...

Depends on the size of the patch required, anything bigger than your fingernail will stick out quite a bit. You can get paint matched to the colour you chose for touching in but it will be visible at the distance you've taken these pictures from. If I were you I'd get in touch with whoever did...

Agreed on what the problem is, but they can't just refuse to serve them. They can't sort out who's a genuine DIYer and who's not. Would love to see trade only for a few months while this s**t off eBay goes off in the sheds.

I've seen that once, pvc cleaner used on double glazed window and it ran down the rubber seal

You mean you're one of these nice folk buying up all the plaster and you'd like to know if it will sell on gumtree?
