Weather spoons before Greggs. 👍

@Plastersmurf74 I've actually never been to spoons. And Greggs is nasty. Always disappointed.

@@blizteredthumbs7911 the steak is chewie! 👍

@Plastersmurf74 not chalky

He makes the tea

Practice I guess. 👍

This is bad practice for anyone just starting out always start at the bottom go from floor to as high as u can from the deck and means u only need to go around the top with 1 or 2 hawks saves all the strain on ure body

@ that is a way to do it if that works for you. 👍

I’ve watched a couple, try not to watch other plasterers , if anything gets repeated, probably means it’s a good idea 👍

Did you watch until the end? We finished the job, left a great quality, got paid, builder happy , then “we was gone” 👍

Rolling in at 15st these days!

What does that even mean?

I have done a whole video of plaster in the eye, I think it was called this hurts a lot!! 👍👍

@@Plastersmurf74 You know what I'm like- I watch carefully! You've had a couple of 'near misses' since you stopped wearing the goggles!!

@@GeoffAnderson-l5d So Geoff, if you watch carefully did you note the comment from our Smurf at 35:49 'That's how much was left over' (referring to a third of a hawk of plaster)and then at 36:02 'Aaaah' as it promptly falls off the hop up. You can guess which side up it landed! 🤣

lol, I thought if you and made sure the frame was clean before filming.

Have to yet again agree with Pete. The over sized hawk and trowel looked like someone had been having their first go with Photoshop from 2005!! 🙂 As for the 'groovy state', I've said that before. No offence to you Smurf but I think Pete and I were just taught differently from may other younger ones. I can't speak for Pete (although I'm going to!!) but I think it's fair to say that we'd both put the first coat on without those trowel lines. My dad would have had a fit if I'd whacked it on and left lines like that! Pete and I were trained on s/c setting so leaving huge lines was not an option on high suction on a hot summers day!!

@@alandavey9532 just completely depends. You can probably aim for 250 plus materials in the private sector.

As someone who has jumped off a crane, tied to a bit of elastic, three times from a height of 200ft and coped (quite easily) rendering fairly high up on dodgy scaffolds (H&S wasn't quite so important back in the day!) I consider myself to be ok with heights. However, watching Fred scaffold those chimneys on his own actually makes my stomach churn a bit!! I love when he was asked about doing the job with a few beers inside him and he basically said you try doing that when you're sober!! As for age, my dad was near enough 70 when I wheeled him out of retirement to help me for a day with a ceiling which was way too big for me on my own. He was worn out by 3 o'clock and I finished it on my own which near enough killed me as well!!! 🙂

Indeed. !

Thanks ✌️

That’s why I drop to the flexi to finish, 👍

Cheers Joe!

They do a 24inch, but not very good for finish plaster, I think they are better in concrete floors

Just one on that low suction dtuff

@@colindavid5863 it’s great at the start, bit hard to finish with, drop to a flexi last couple of passes, the hard work has been done!

Ahh, cheers Justin. We are all legends in our own rights! 👍😉

Work tall boots

Yarp, walk tall, about £70 , there’s a website somewhere

I found them on their website and on Amazon. They have the option for a discount code as well

Yeah, 4pm, I’ve had enough, just depends what you get up to. Today was pretty easy, loads of prep, 2 small sets. But yeah, all day plastering, does you in. How old are you? I’m 50

​@Plastersmurf74 Thanks for the reply... yeah I'm 50 as well mate. You put us all to shame 😂😂... thanks for the videos... subscribed 😊

I’d argue they are maybe a bit small for a camper. I have slept well in the back with the missis just on the fold out seats with a decent self inflating matress . Works just fine. We tend to set up a tent as kitchen, utility, sleep in the motor if it’s just us two. But, this vehicle is so versatile as it is, 7 seats, they fold up, becomes a van, fold flat, becomes a bed. I use this motor all year round . At 3lt v6 petrol , the fuel goes down at the same speed as the pedal , drive it smoothly it’s not so bad. But yeah, always wanted one of these at it hasn’t disappointed. It’s great for tight country roads, steep hills , rough terrain. It goes places other cars cannot, and you can sleep in it. I love it. So glad I didn’t buy a rusty old transporter. There is an issue obtaining unique parts for it as they are quite rare but you can get them. 👍

The runner is still a dive on a Friday night, the Royal Oak just down the road used to ban people from the runner after 11. I’ve not been in the runner on a Friday for a long time. 2nd only to the market inn as the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the whole galaxy !

I went through a phase in the late 80's when I made garden gnomes to sell at car boot sales. I bought a couple of (not cheap) molds and because I was on site work, I had an endless supply of sand/cement. I used my lunch time to set the molds in a bucket of sand and used quite wet s/c. I made loads of them and sold them for £5 each. Still got one- the one I made and painted for my mum. 🙂

... Proper Del-Boy then? 😂😂

@@petemoring67 I didn't really think of like that but yup, I suppose so! My next venture was making wooden planters. Saw one at a garden centre and the woman I was with at the time liked it but it was quite expensive so I said I could make one like it. I used pallets which were just laying around to make the front rounded, picket fence type shape, metal brick/block tie bands to form the round front, roof battens for a back 'trellis,' any off cuts of wood and bits of roofing felt to line it. Getting the pallets apart was quite difficult until I got the hang of it! First one took me 2 days to make- I was sort of making it up as I went went!! Painted it with fence paint and when finished, it was good. Problem was, someone else saw it and wanted one, then another and another....... I became a victim of my own success as loads of people wanted one. I made one for a plastering customer and next thing, she rings me up to say her postman wants 2 of them! At one point, I was spending my Friday night out time making them. I made more than 30 of them and so long as everything was ready, I got the build time down to 4 hours each. Sold them for £30 each, half the price of the garden centre one and if anything, mine were far more solid. Was never going to make a living out of them at that price but it was fun while I could be bothered to do them. 🙂

@@marksheppard9880 what? That 80s rom com with Kurt Russle and goldie hawn?

Cheers Pete. That ceiling got over tacked . 👍

I always would tell/explain to people when I looked at any job that if there was even the remotest possibility of there being an 'unknown danger', such as in this case here, the way of going about it may change. You can't always start making a full scale mess when you're just looking at a job. Luckily for me, I never had too many 'cowboy customers' as I was there by word of mouth and they trusted me. Apprentices out there. If you are going to work in someone's house, listen to Pete and get Public Liability Insurance. If the job looks dodgy and you're being asked to do something you KNOW isn't right or safe for plastering don't do it- walk away. A handle coming off a water bucket you're carrying up someone's carpeted stairs will make a lot of mess. You may never need it or need it once in 40 years but that 'once' could be the costly time you will be pleased you had the sense to have PLI. Write that down!! 🙂🙂

Depends really. Would have to stay and stuff, have quite a few obligations to be around my local area as best as possible. But never say never

Cheers mate.

Cheers mate. 👍

Ok

Looks like it 👍

I guess yeah, not done it but no reason why what would not work. 👍

Thanks 👍

Good shout, hadn’t thought of that one. 👍
