You're a horrible man FiremanT :oops:

......why is it customers always stall on completion payments??? We've finished a lovely job, immaculate finish internally, painted, carpets the lot, like a ****ing show home. Invoiced - nothing! No response. I even leave people with a 5% holding payment as part of the contract...

Did it go?

It should be fixed to the blocks and the scratch coat spread over the top of it.

If its tricky you could cast one in situ? Bit of OSB plugged into the wall and jobs a good un!

Bristol is about 220-260. But in reality it all depends on the Driver, if he's on it, you'll get your monies worth.

Celcon or Thermalite would tell you 6 and 1 for laying and if i'm not mistaken, they suggest you mesh the external blockwork and then render with something mad like a 8 and 1

Its a bit hard to know exactly what was right and wrong, but some his charges do appear at the outset a bit ridiculous! You've handled it well, good on you.

Anyone know any good ones in the South West - thought I might try them for a change.

Mate, your missing the point, and in the first instance there's no need to call people idiotic for having a difference of opinion to you. The chap didn't say he wanted a level access, just that he didn't want a massive threshold. If you've been around the building game long enough you'll...

it can be done in stages but theres more baggage associated with that than the pump!! The man on the pump takes the baggage away for you!

Thats over 7 cubes - get a small pump on - off the back through pipes and bobs your uncle. Should be more than cost effective to do that much work.
