Crazy pavement effect not easy to create unless your highly skilled and dknt guve a f**k LOL

beautifull craftmanship.Looks like it was cast from moulds defo not freehand

Oooooh thats bad, footpath has a better finish.

yeah nothing like standing back and seen your own f##k up.We have straighten walls after brickies so the best of luck.Old saying stick to what you know.Best of luck.

A problem is only a problem if you cant fix.Charge accordingly like any other trade would do.

Stick to joinery and stop taken plasterers work

Deposit is the only way pop92 is bang on.This sorts out time wasters and agonising over assholes just using you when they have no intensions of giving you the job.

Labouers become spreads and there for no apprentices required and trade ends up with a bad name,prices fall and so do standards.It absoulutly recks my head when some claims to be a plasterer and really there only a glorified labourer.If you want to last in plastering during your life time you...

Can you spot where dashing matched in lol this is whats called the bunch of grapes effect

That picture of apartments i submitted above is a result of INTERNAL plaster used EXTERNALLY.

Im surprised

bleeding sun

I would still use primer this time of year.

The sun must of melted that house.Bad work is bad work.

I use to play 10 pin bowling and there was a guy on our team called Paddy(obviously) who would lock his left leg out on his approach when trowing the ball so i name hime Paddy leg lock.Bumped into him at a funeral and told me he is still known as Paddy leg Lock 20 yrs later.

Cornice fitter called Nash with big teeth was called Gnasher.

We had a young lad who had a fishy funny smell off him so i christened him spunky trunks and he even found it funny.

another plasterer was the greatest moaner ever,glass always half empty guy so he was known as the grump.When his mad son started with us after a few weeks the grump got annoyed with the son and asked him at tea time Robby what are you going to be a labourer or a plasterer, son replied Well dad...

We name a tight arsed rubber neck plasterer who never brought in tea bags or milk for years and would always ask everyone else for some so he was christened The Rubba(rubber neck) and his miserable son was the same so he was The young Rubba.

Has anyone given or been given a nickname that stuck or heard funny stories of names given to someone.When I was serving my time nearly everyone had been given a name based on what they did or what they are remember for doing wether it was said to their face or not was another thing. Here's one...

Eh are you on the right forum

Or take pictures of every building when on hols in Spain.Is plastering not a trade in hot country's

foil back boards are to be fixed only to timber or metal studs which elimates cold bridging and acts as a moisture barrier.who specified this

It's amazing the amount of views this thread got and yet only a few responses.I think people are afraid there work will appear on here.

sometimes it ain't worth the money and besides you have to be realistic even you do have to overcharge

boarding is the easiest part.Its drylining only simpler.Keep boards flat and plumb,break joints and square reveals.Go by who ever system you use so you have your warranty and take photos

dont go near it mate as they will go through it with a fine tooth comb and it's seriously not worth the grief.I get ask to rectify other people's shoddy work because they were cheaper or a builders mate.Now I just say too busy get the guy who did it to fix it and I'll do t your next job

Keith what package and price did you pay for the machine

Best of luck Keith.Its the best bit of kit you will ever buy.Take your time in set up and go through every step twice.tape up electric point and tap and kill anyone who touches them.Most important do not reduce rates because you can cover more than hand balling.

i agree with Big k and mag,moisture has to be getting in somewhere and lodges in the mortor joints because the walls cant breath ,also it is too thin and thats why all garden walls with one coat of sand and cement always shows the blockwork.

stick to BBQs Aussie man

oh yeah all the work in Dublin is done by Dubs.pretty dumb ass thing to say.

Makes a change from them just pumping expanding foam and think it blends in.

Its a bellcast bead i presume.

Putting mono on by hand with no experience will break your heart.We did large jobs 20 odd yrs ago with monocucche(by Hand) and it was a nightmare also trying to convert guys from s&c to mono was a task in its selve and they where bloody good trades men.Even the labourers where hard to keep an...

I do a lot of driving from one side of the city to the next so i could fill space up with lots of crap jobs.I was passing a job and was raging i wasnt quick enough to take a video of 5 lads dry dashing a small council house and throwing the stone by hand.I nearly crashed and they only had half...

This is real ashlar jointing
