I have a few of their air tools and they are fine and well up to the job and i have an angle grinder that is about 3 years old and gets used and abused all the time weekends and during the week (i own a land rover defender so if you know them you know how much it gets used ).Lots of the stuff is...

If the nicks not too bad its surprising how well just rubbing it hard on a pile of sharp sand gets it out or very gently on a thermalite

I think the op is going to struggle to get any money at all im afraid ,seen customers like this before who make things up or ask for extras but only after the job has been finished and they know they have you over a barrel .Did the customer supply all the materials ? if he did then there is a...

Cavity ? then there is no need to use lime mortar

Trowelmonkey you have it there mate ,lime allows any moisture to pass out of the walls but it must be on both sides of the wall or it defeats the object and painted in a breathable paint or coating like lime wash ,yours is brick isnt it ? whats on the other side ? if its bare brick or cement...

I know what you mean now , i know it may cost more but i would seriously think about taking it down and building a proper stud wall ,you could build it and do what you want to in the bathroom and then get the other side done when you have the cash.How much area are we talking ? it wont cost much...

What are paramount walls ?

Take it back where you got it from and have a beer instead of faffing around with it :lol: If you cant get to it from above then you will have to hope that you can fix it to the joists ,failing that you will have to take the ceiling down where it is being positioned and put some noggings in...

Waterproofer is meant to go in the scratch coat so i dont know what you are doing wrong ,you did scratch it didnt you ? and by not sticking what do you mean ,is it rolling off or just sliding off ?

I ALLWAYS put waterproofer in an outside rendering

I thought for a minute there was a new material on the market :shock: never heard of not floating anything bar plasterboard before skimming

If the render is sound then just filling the cracks should be ok ,give it a hard tap with your knuckles and see if it sounds hollow ,if it does then its best to get it all off and start again And you will know by the sound if its hollow because you can definatley tell the difference between...

I use whatever method i can to fix beads ,sometimes you cannot get a fixing with nails and you have to stick them with muck It will be fine once it has gone off

Its a bit hard to picture what your saying but the first thing i would do is try and knock back as much of the high spot as i could and then float it up and skim .Its sometimes worth putting your straightedge across the wall up down across etc and marking the really low spots and then you get an...

I always use one in the way Micilin says to rule off and fill in etc before using a straight edge to finally get it all squared up .I also use it when doing large areas of sand and cement float finish and if i have already used the straight edge and just need to fill a small patch i get the...

Another way is to put a bit of batten through the hole long enough to go each side of the hole and screw in place from underneath .Then cut some plugs from a piece of scrap plasterboard( hopefully cut with a holesaw of the same size)srew this to the batten and then tape and plaster

Leave it until its hardened :lol: having never used this kind of thing i cant really say for sure ,what does it say on the packaging? how deep were the repairs ? how cold is the room ,how damp is it ?all these things will add to drying time

Walls out of square ? ive never heard anything like it :lol:

And remember to keep your mouth closed :lol:

I would wait until the tray is fitted as usually its better to have the tray sunk into the wall a bit to allow the tiles to come down onto the top of the tray
