* Should HAVE mate (y) Should have covered 'em :maraca:

Poor lad. He hasn't come up with ONE explanation himself. Just videos and ideas off the David Icke forums lol :ROFLMAO: And yet...he basically calls Newton, Galileo and Einstein idiots :oops: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: We have our very own genius! Here on TPF!!!

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Physics-man strikes again beLIEves gravity doesn't exist

3 plasterers I know had the op. All good apart from one who went back to work too soon and popped his stitches...

Some firms insist you do a course before ordering off them. Covers their arse and makes sure the plasterer is well versed with their gear.

I always cut a 200mm square for the sparky in insulation for his spots. He does, however always curl his cables back into the socket backboxes nicely for me (y) Look after each other lads...jobs hard enough.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Don't set him off FFS!

I'm envious, but can't help wonder...how is that a week off? :raro2:

:ROFLMAO: just spat me beer out lol

I don't get why BG can't supply a uniform product like they used to. We've all said that it's greasy and horrible to use, and it goes in waves where its simply unusable. Half sets and the other half still comes off on the trowel. And that's on boards. Scratchy and unable to finish it properly...

I thought it used to be good til they changed it about 12 - 15 years ago. Past few years it's been awful, having to change between multi and board when one of them gets unworkable. Shouldn't be like that. Did they change it to accommodate the plastic trowel brigade/DIYers I wonder.

I like the freedom of it, but I despise plastering in general so now look for an easier path. For me that's working for smaller house builders where I can leave my tools and forget about having to find work. f**k getting phone calls, looking at jobs, buying materials, roll and strolling...

I'll watch it but I think it's going to be very disappointing.

Nigh on 30 years been doing this and in all that time I've never worked with such greasy, unworkable shite. Looks AWFUL. Multi finish. :mad:

Mould innit? Get radiators on tight git

Bonding. Hardwall is for higher suction. Suction has been killed by the blue grit.

That electrician is dogshit.

plasi start to finish?

That's me 100%

Oh I dunno...do you? Looks OK to me to be fair. Shitty old refurb, very uneven walls, no air seal required so no continuous band needed, reasonably methodical pattern with perimeters covered and double dabs along string, surplus mix used at random rather than throwing away... I think it'll hold...

Boarded 3 weeks ago, ready for skimming!

Full fat (y)

Calor gas fire on job at the minute. Bread on a fork in front of grille, then lashings of lurpak Mmmmmmmmm...

7:30 arrive, cup of coffee. 8:00 mix up. 10:00 tea and toast.

And gouge out that egg in the plasterboard or you'll have trouble...

Pva it, scrim the f**k out of it, bead it, skim.

That's horrific. I'm f**k**g fed up with chancers stealing legitimate tradesmen's work

100%... Didn't need mesh 20 years ago, don't need it now. Do the job properly and there's no comebacks.

Gonna put a bog in our bedroom as soon as I can. Can never get on the other F*****g two in the house :mad:

Same here. Got a regular set of house builders that pretty much keep us going year round.

f**k those developers. They take the risk of making a profit. The cost of a trade is what it costs. Its fir the developer to take the hit.

I predict plenty of work (y) Thats if the immigrants and muslims don't swiftly take us all one night in one big deadly cull. Oops sorry just typed what I was thinking there...

f**k. I kind of guessed it would be. There's a shite load left on a pallet to finish using. I'm guessing it's cheap as chips. Is the topcoat any better? Or can I top it with anything else?

I need to put a coat of this stuff over a previous coat that some renderers have done. I'm presuming I need to prime it... Do I?

Again the link works... Shite, sorry thought it was recent but this was 10 years ago...my bad

The 'watch on youtube' link works Oh wait...that was seven years ago...sorry...

Can't imagine how boring it must be just skimming all day every day, or just tacking all day every day. Here that tends to be on large sites. Most of my work now is smaller sites of 1 - 5 houses where I get to do the lot. Fook domestics!

Plasterers ARE boarders aren't they?

Nobody died before the vaccine.

New respect unlocked (y)

OK go one angle freehand and one angle stop bead. Then get back to me and I'll say I told you so.

I don't know what to say. I'm all fired up about it, but don't know what to do. Like Tramp said no one else gives a s**t. You just get labelled as far right racist and locked up. There needs to be a massive movement. I'd join in a shot.

I usually use stop beads (y)

Fair do's mate. I was kind of hoping the tide had turned a little.

Just lay down like cowards and let them have it?

I'd ask artexer for your money back.

We're all like frogs in gradually boiling water, all knowing what's coming, just sat waiting for it to happen...

But think of all that child maintainance money...

I agree. You only have to think a step or two ahead to see where its all heading, and it's not nice.
