I did a job yesterday for a builder I know, 20m2 flat render to a garage, piece o (french word)! Or so I thought! He'd put the beads on and put the 'scratch' on!! (german word), he'd used building sand and smoothed off the so called 'scratch coat' with a trowel and NO scratches, smooth as a babies arse! No worries I thought get the grinder out and off I went, started, wet the walls up started laying on and it went off like a rocket!! Couldn't wet it up enough to hold back, ended up just getting it on as flat as I could, no time to rule off and floating it in, rough yeah?!! No waterproofer in scratch, could've cried, worst render job I've had in years! Bloody nightmare! Once I'd done you could see all the mortar joints through my top coat where the blocks were wet under the render!
Moral of it....don't take on work preped up by some who doesn't know jack (german word) about rendering or unsupervised by you!!! Bites you in the arse.....he said to me 'oh, you learn something everyday, you'll get over it wont you?' he knew he'd cocked up!
