hi guys, woke up late yesterday morning and had an email from a mate saying national homebuilding show was on at nec. but it was too late for me to get there. so headed over to john boddys timber in north yorks to get myself some sweet chesnut for a hall mirror and some oak to make a bed frame. when i payed spyed a free magazine so i grabbed it then reading it in the van on the way home free tickets to the homebuilding and renovting show bargain. so headed down to the nec this morning, was a good day out lafarge made a showing with some info on using effective partitions in rennovations with regards to noise and thermal transmission. british gypsum and knauf were no shows though. another stand i came across was iconic breathable building materials. specilist suppliers of lime mortar, renders puttys etc. they gave me a nice catalogue full of good info. and the final plastering find of the day was orac decor. they make expanded foam mouldings, cornice, cove, lighting troughs corbels etc the product is nice and light and easy to cut and takes a really nice paint finish. so all in all can reccomend the show to anyone thinking of going. drop by selco by the way two free t shirts a nice plastic mug and a tape measure. Result!
