be your own boss. there are frustrations as a self employed person or on site, they are just different. i think you need to look in the mirror and think' can this bloke sell himself' or could he learn too. these are the people who do best imo. theres a lot said about how hard it is to run...

wouldnt a tap and a wiggle sort it out. depends on the type i suppose. :(

and!!! managed to make yourself seem more important 8) :lol:

solid walls would be better. with modern materials it is always better. the only real need for cavity work is to have a brick veneer (or something else) if you are going to render anyway; then you are creating work for yourself. stability when laying is also much better for a newboy' when the...

perps technically speaking they are not! they are cross joints. perpendicular joints are joints that line up below features such as window openings even if it means using broken bond they are measured points which must be maintained all the way up the building.. pedantic but true...

cant you just build a wider block wall? getting a bit complicated for a garage. shy good post about cavity gaps. better to have a smaller gap and a thicker inner skin.

go steady with your what the hell attitude.why cant you just ask me to clarify, or could it be that you have already decided what i mean :roll: the question was about the bbc. i do happen to think that if an ordinary white man was up against a black man, or a gay man/person or a woman, or...

Barack Obama v Hillary Clinton the bbc is disappearing up its own hole. who should it support? a black man or a woman! what a pity one of them is not gay because im sure the person two of the big three 'issues' would get their support. :( the emperors new clothes we live...

thank you ironic because she seems really fit and alert. shes had a carbon fibre ligament in the past and a £4000 back operation just last year (she burst two discs jumping down the stairs) she has just got back on form from that; and now a silly little mark on her lip will finish her off...

i think your intentions were good. its just that builders get such bad press. a bbc jouno will suggest something on the tele and suddenly everyones an expert. theres more than one way to skin a cat. anyway, i read my reply and i does seem a bit harsh on you.

ive fed my dog on iams dried since she was a puppy. she has always looked super fit on this food. ive recently been told that my dog has cancer in her lip and hasnt got long to live. i thought i would give her a couple of weeks of chum, chocolate (little bits) and sleeping where shes not...

it is hard to say without opening sizes. i do find it interesting that someone who does not know how to do the work will go round to a neighbour and tell him that his builders are doing it wrong. i cant tell from the op's post if the wood is being used to drive the beam upwards to compress a...

team work.. :) it seems to me that some people want to stop for 'a fag' or stay in the cafe!.. i want to get it done and go home.

m8 there is a difference between what you lay and what you 'could' lay. if conditions got hard and your bonus dropped so that 500 a day would give you rubbish money then you would and could do more. work out the maths, how many operations are needed to actually lay a brick once you are on...

i think its you that needs to do your sums.. i dont need a brickie and i certainly wouldnt have a skatey lazy one like you. shame your hands dont work as fast as your gob. 500 a day and you dont even plumb the gables :oops: three in four minutes= skate. no wonder we have so many poles...

1000 a day is hard now because of sorting the cavity but if you have a good labourer and the work is right; then its easy enough. fast neat. your figures say one brick every 20 seconds. your rate is 3 bricks every four minutes. that aint up to much m8 to be honest. :( ...

if its secured on top and has returns on the walls then it becomes just like any other room. maybe its just how i see it. matey cant just have two straight walls even if its 215 walls. wheres woody? he can write it up all nicely for the op :) .................... that amount of...

is this going to be L shaped or two parallel walls? L shape would be ok but two walls could well pancake over unless you have returns on them. the walls should stand depending on the wind but if you have people moving on top of it. it will wobble. try it with a cardboard box and you...

have you ever thought that you are making a noise? my sister in law has laminate flooring and be honest i hate going there because of the clicking. ten times worse when my dog comes with me. i make it lay on a bed to stop the row. its not right just to call them a name without considering...
