yeh looks like the sparkys have got the right to print money now with there certs, youve gotta have this and that signed off ect, i wanna move as well, but cant for 4 years as i will lose the discount, i begrudge spending money on it if im honest because i dont want to be here, all the plasterwork here has been done by a monkey the reveals are all over the place ive straightened 3 up as best i can but the next one is terrible as nomatter where u put the straight edge its out, i think the whole wall needs going back to brick but then i would have to pay a gasman to take the heater off the wall so not sure what im gonna do there, good luck with your move if u get it

yeah im gonna post pics the sparkeys been 2day got chases everywhere also just opened up an air vent that was being used with a an extractor fan in, i took the fan out to discover the ceiling plasterboard travels all the way along the top, ive sorted another 3 vents out by restoring them but this one looks a bit tricky, not sure what im gonna do yet as i told the sparky not to put a fan in im gonna use the vent so now ive got to make it good

I had to latex part of a floor someone had screeded.I layed a 6 foot level across the floor to find the low point, i was eating a bag of maltesers, dropped 1 and it rolled under the level , shows how bad that screed was.

so what did you do with the low spot did you fill it first b4 screeding the whole floor? or did u start pouring the screed at the low point you found with the malteser? to fill the low point b4 spreading it over the high point ?

 

[sallyspread]

I filled the low point with latex, with chippings added, then ran latex from the other side to take out the high point.

 

[jrplastering]

those chippins are wonderfull things for building real low spots out

 

[sallyspread]

Great stuff jr, would still like to meat the numpty that laid the floor.
