[oasis]

just starting a damp job 2 day..my first one on me own...

the walls ent that bad but have bubbled where there has been alot of warter in them from last years floods..

my plan is 2 sti back 1 meter high

Hello Mate
Just a quick question will you be skimming the whole wall or just up to the level you cut off and blend in, cheers

and in that last photo u can see were iv cut threw the cable with the grinder! all sorted now..live and learn!

aww bugger...that is so disheartening when that happens...luckily you got a tame sparky eh??
i dont usually use the grinder for those jobs, 1 cos of all the dust, it gets absolutely everywhere...even in the bleedin kettle...and 2..i dont need to, striaghtish line with the kango and the whole wall gets skimmed anyway..
good luck with it mate..

how did the render suck on that theroseal stuff mate? not used it before but it looks a lot like tanking, and in my experience rendering over tanking can be a pain cos it doesnt want to suck at all..

it dint stick 2 good..spent a good 2 hours just doin the scrach coat..its o.t.t tanking..cuz i had 2 give her a garentee of some sort to take the job on..some im taking no chances.used half a tub of water proofer on that small scrach coat.
