PMSL - threatening to take a solicitor to court and getting a result - that must be a first :roll:

morning have had a search around the archives but canna find what i want (too many results - lol) going to skim two sections of plasterboard tomorrow and i was wondering what to do about the join between them? i only have two 'boards' with a total join of about 8 - 10 feet so i don't...

oh yeah! - sorry i forgot about that. take em to the cleaners.... then move :twisted:

have a word with your neighbours - bet they haven't even thought how this is going to effect your garden - you never know they might be willing to come to a compromise without the need of rushing to get legal advice....

sorry i thought he thought that you thought that he thought you were some kind of thought terrorist... hmmmm i think i'm confused :roll: still getting back on subject - yeah we can sort our 'own problems out' - anyone for a pint and a game of snooker?

nah i think he means give kendor a good old fashioned cueing (i suppose it's a bit like a shoeing but involving snooker implements :shock: )

yeah i totally agree, it's horrid stuff!!! but i reckon it's gotta be done - just going to do the two walls in the loft room that have the crawl space behind... of course i do have an alterative motive - saves skimming the walls :twisted:

re-read the instructions - it's made with a fire retardant... so i'll assume it's ok for lofts unless anyone has any other ideas :shock:

Morning. I've found this polystyrene insulation stuff that is about 2mm thick and you apply it to the wall like wall paper (and then wall paper over the top) - I would like to do this too two walls in our attic room but obviously I don't want to contravene building regs in regards to loft...

i saw one in the paper the other day - it was one of the 4x4 pandas..... i think it was an F reg..... not sure on bamboo but i suspect it's pretty economical on the ol' petrol front.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. i'll get me hat :oops:

steam, white spirits, nail varnish remover, errr.... canna think of anything else at the mo (well it is monday!)

ta for the info. is there any reason not to plaster over it? the stuff that's currently on the wall is flaking off and is a right sight + i think it's old style artex (there's something wrong with old artex but i canna remember what it is? lead? asbestos?). cheers

so what's the difference between artex/plaster and why are so many people against artex? i'm in the process of plastering a room - one wall has been artexed in the past so i'm either going to plaster over it or artexing over it - anyone see any problems with that? just intrested in...

>What the heck is this black stuff?!?!?! industrial heritage mate - the original plaster/cement/Etc has probably been bulked out with ash/slag/Etc waste from factories - our house is of a similar age but in the north of england - all our plaster is black (and if you lift a slab in the cellar...

you can get patching plaster from most diy sheds - just add water and errr.... patch (i suppose) if it's not very smooth when you've finished a quick sand should suffice - as for the expanding foam i keep well away from that stuff unless it's going to be used somewhere that's not very...

so what did your ol' grandpappy do - eat it, smoke it or import it?(shrub that is! :lol: ) [please note : this is a joke and not a slur on your ol' grandaddy :roll: ]

i would have thought a soapy damp cloth would do it - or even give it a mop and wipe up any left over liquid?

your prob. right... but i had a job lot of quotes off them that really would have made it worth their while and kept them in work for a few weeks with no real hurry about getting the work done... if they put in a sensible quote that is.... won't try and use them again.. and if anyone asks me for...

just thought i'd share this with you all to show that getting a number of quotes is not stupid (but then again you know that!) job - replace guttering and 1 down pipe on end terrace house in the north.... quote 1 - £1843 :shock: quote 2 - £580 :? quote 3 - £390 :P obviously we...
