Correct me if i'm wrong, but hasn't next door done what you are proposing ? Why dont you give em a knock and ask who did theirs and if they would reccomend them.

I fit bedrooms, Kitchens & bathrooms for a living. Quite a lot of my customers are people who have bought the items and then decided against fitting themselves OR wont pay the sheds ridiculous fitting charges. You always get (so called designers) miss measuring no matter where you go, but i...

Sorry to hear that :(

J bonding your back :D What have you done with legs? I bet you have plastered him behind a wall somewhere to shut him up :lol: Where've you been hiding me old mucker ?

Kevplumb, Good hobby. I also like cooking although i havent taken any pictures sorry. Like the preditor graphic on the planitary chamber cover. although I'm not a fan of cars covered in bits of plastic and fibreglass

Is it my comp that seems to be infected with google adds or has this forum decided to do some type of spam with key words ? when i look at various topics "for example" my wife needs new knickers, Under the original poster i then see a line of adverts (sponsored by google) refering to the o...

I have also heard of this. As woody has already said, its mainly to do with surface run off of water and the permability of the final surface. I have read a document somewhere that goes into mentioning linear drainage for newly instaled driveways of "Non Permiable constructed surfaces"...

Good man, A proper plasterer :D Agree with Clout, Put new thin coat beeds over the old ones. i would use the solid ones and not the expamet micro mesh ones.

Carryon, I always buy my plaster from one of the big sheds. B&Q turn over vasts amounts so you are always sure to get fresh gear. I got some the other week and it was still warm :D Lot of the smaller builders merchants seem to store in some run down shack with a leaky roof and they...

Tat looks a really nice job. Wat a difference from the before shot.

That looks really nice. Well done mate. look forward to seeing the internals.

Still no pictures on my comp ? Have you tried asking the addmin boffins ? I notice you are useing the site to host the pictures. Maybe it would be better if you signed up to one of the free hosting sites? I use photobucket,

Rake out and re-point first i would say. doesnt the wall have a cavity ? is it solid construction ?

noseall is correct. Self leveling componds are not meant for a wearing surface, merely to level subfloor before tiling or amtico/karndean flooring. Now theres an idea? Why not tile the floor with some cheap and cheerful anti slip floor tiles :) I went to the local Vauxhall garage...

Once you have applied your second coat, you use a hurling trowel. its like a scoop and gives you more force when used, than simply throwing a hand full at the wall. The machine applied spatter is called tyrolean. It isnt stones but a mix spattered on to the wall to give the desired...

As praticle has ever Softus

I'd say over trowling as well. First coat on, leave it dont mess let it stiffen, second coat on trowel up a little leave alone untill its ready to hit it. If you try to atchieve a flat smooth finish to early, you will get Blisters as noseall says. I'm afraid novice plasterers panick too much...
