I'm not chasing because am not skimming like scottie lol ... just putting 2 tight very neat coats on. 2 trowels is fine as it's on neat no craters no holes.
 
As long as the end result it mint use whatever system works for you I would say
 
I've worked with lads who leave a mint finish, in the end! Their like headless chickens s**t everywhere water everywhere troweling up like mad men. Still filling holes and taking trowel lines out on a 3rd trowel.

And that's lads who've got a full room and lads who've only got 2 walls on.
 
When I dropped the site for domestic I started doing less and less I be honest but each domestic has its own problems and I just felt at the time I will just charge accordingly instead of chasing no one likes a sweaty man let alone a chubster sweating and smelling like a hog roast

Said it before on here and got ripped. But after its been laid in with 2nd coat it gets 2 trowels. As simple as that. I think the reason might be I trowel up abit later than most. So when you guys are giving it 5th polish I'm giving it 2nd trowel and it looks same as the skim is at same setting stage. No water on either trowel. All done very neat.

I get home sometimes and wish I was bk at work earning dosh lol..not for me pal if I'm just putting 1 bag and staring at it going off then that makes me just want to f**k off home its tedious and boring to me
 
Dont get me wrong I luv a early day I prob worked 25 hours this week and still pulled the dosh in but id rather put 1 hit on then break It into 2 small tedious gages myself
 
Who started this flipping thread anyways ?

:rebotando:
Causing trouble between the skimming community :asadito:
 
i get aches in places I didn't even know existed and I'd rather do one bag and earn just as much as some do on 4 it's all about how you go about if it's a four day job and bloke said I give you ex amount to do it I can either have four easy days at it or knock my pipe out and have a day off or go start another job,I go to work because I have to not because I want to so when I'm there I want the easiest life possible,and domestics can have a variety of problems a hsl you just can't put on the meterage, so there kitchy OK :bailando:
