Onoff Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Lad I know walked in on his MiL holding a broom. "What's up Maureen, can't get it started?" They didn't get on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA3222 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 To be fair, that broom looks like it has seen better days - you find it in a skip?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangti6 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Started a ceiling at the weekend. Hadn't anticipated the noggins taking longer than getting the sheets up. Not helped by the fact I had a few boards up before I noticed the sag and had to climb in to the loft void to retrospectively fit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortarThePoint Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A plasterer asked what centres our trusses are, which are 600mm. He suggested using 4x1 counter battens (aka 'brandering', thanks @Hobbiniho) at 400mm centres screwed underneath the trusses to screw the plasterboard to. What do people make of this suggestion? It's a lot easier than noggins. It eats in to the ceiling height but only be 22mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I must admit despite my plasterer saying noggins are not required at joins I tend to screw an off cut of ply or flooring to the edge of the plasterboard just put up then screw the new plasterboard sheet to it. Not a noggin but just keeps the plasterboard edges in line. Probably OCD but I have no cracks in my plasterwork after a year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortarThePoint Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Another useful piece of advice from the plasterer was don't plaster a ceiling until you have finished adding weight to the space above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
