  1. Got my laser temp pointer thing . Windows definitely very warm . Also the front bedroom with minimum issues is lots cooler . Yesterday when spraying quite warm ( but not hot ) - today 23 degrees . But as I say walls / ceilings perfect . I’m sure it’s got something to do with heat ( hottest day of the year so far !! ) . Hmmmmmmmm
  2. Not sure what “ tag rag “ is - will Google . Plaster about 2/3 weeks old so dry for sure . Really only around Windows mostly - so with polythene on *assume* hotter than the rest of the house - drying too fast ??? Appreciate you asking a plasterer
  3. Ask in paint shop Tuesday see what they say . Ceilings and walls perfect though so a bit annoyed
  4. Scrapped this window reveal . Comes off easy with a blunt chisel . More worried about the peeling paint above it on the wall . Don’t want to scrape the whole wall !! ???
  5. I agree now ! Problem with baby sprayer as it’s so diluted it just runs . I’ll leave it like this for now . I need to get the girth Wagner out for the hallway once skimmed - so might go over this bit with the ‘ proper ‘ sprayer . Just a pita cleaning the Wagner beast. !
  6. Scrapped back paint . Plaster underneath still has mist coat . Tried baby sprayer . Blocked instantly. Had to dilute paint 5 to 1 to get it to spray . Runs now of course !! Will wait 10 mins between each spray and see if I can build it up
  7. I did mist coat everything with a basic white paint first . Difficult to do “ thin coats “ with a sprayer !! . I’ll scrape back one window reveal ... Once back to the plaster will mist coat that bit ( with a brush ) Worried about diluting the final coat paint as it might run - but guess that’s best .
  8. Tempted to remove loose around one window . Then respray with my baby sprayer . Leave it until Monday and see if that solves the issue
  9. Get a blunt chisel and remove loose parts - then respray ??
  10. Seems worse around doorways and corners -....
  11. Aasrrgghhh ! Assume either went on to thick or simply dried out too fast . What’s best ? Respray this ? Dilute the paint ? Gentle and carefully just use a brush ??
  12. Suck on this @Onoff
  13. Wanky website - back to tiktok
  14. F o f f . Loads of demand . Brexit , Covid , (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted)s , I have supply !
  15. Ffs ! I have set sizes ! Build to suit . Save £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
  16. Excuse me . You don’t recommend anything . @Porthole I can save you a small fortune !!
  17. Guys - best to buy your walk on glazing before prices rise
  18. Yes indeed . My shop is always open
  19. I went for it Even the Wagner extension rod doesn’t seem to work ! Just a dribble ! Back to the short nozzle . Man in paint shop said not to dilute just mix well . Kept blocking over and over again ! I then ran out of paint ( sprayers seem to use tons more ) Sent SWMBO to get more Mixed the 2nd tub in and magic . No blocking - runs like a dream ! I’m over stretching to do ceiling and the mess on me is amusing . But the quality of finish is the dogs ! ? Photos don’t do justice . Perfect white not one dribble ( not one !! ) Almost like a skilled man did it
  20. You know a man that can
  21. I understand. Sometimes it’s easier and better just to bank the cash and walk away
  22. Just sell the plot with planning ??
  23. Here you go @Big Jimbo https://bettermanlabs.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR12YvJLlPXF-nAq7ADRfdbMR1v1WXV5cxDMgxfhpwUtkYN2i7v1d5LwmMI_aem_AW0yfoOXE0KUveVICnc4Mc6T-kmwZwa_kkbBXQhNa1GQg0GLqvcpgZ-eB8F4PXjcWgDD_bf5cVJBc3Y0LS8VzLQg8vmsVINRjAh-yJg-5ACLdLRcRIg62x50bh7jb2DpUIY
  24. @Big Jimbo as you would say ... “ Stop being a tart ! “ ?
  25. @Big Jimbo capitalist hat on ! Build a ‘standard’ house ( yes I know that’s shite ) and sell it OR build what you want and live in it . Best of both worlds is to build what you want and still have considerable equity in it ..... An asset is just an asset .
