Rich, A much better balance between showing and explaining. Thanks. I appreciate seeing things done, even in time lapse, and especially to your high standard.
Another great episode. P.s. Don't assume we will be bored and not bother filming but if you want you could use time lapse or speed up the footage. All good stuff!
Anhydride surface mate, the latex can’t stick to it as it doesn’t have pores big enough to key and the slightly glossy finish also prevents other adhesives from bonding to it. Awesome job as always rich - good to see Adam too
Doing a nice job on the extension. Just a thought! why don't you cut the holes for the lights in the plasterboard before it's plastered. Then the plasterer just goes over them and before it sets just cleans them out with a gauging trowel. As you say you can't do it on sites but on private work it works well and no stress finding the wires.😊
We prefer the stress mate. 😂 We have tried different ways over the years but the problem with a cold roof especially in the winter is that if you cut the holes out first you get a constant breeze and it blows any dust and insulation bits into the room over the finishing plaster and also the holes aren’t as crisp because you have to trim the plaster snots off the edges prior to spot light fitting. I’m sure others would disagree but it’s always best to stick to the method that works best for you sometimes and of course what you think produces the best result for you. 👍🏻
@@Mr_A_Builders Your so right about doing what's best for you but always listening to and watching others! you never stop learning. That's just the way I do it ! At the end of the day if you leave a job that your proud of that's all that matters. Enjoying watching you work, keep putting the videos out. Thanks for sharing.
A I've plastered a few of these jobs, I don't cut the holes, plasters much easier and doesn't squish plaster up the holes, speedskims better too. The electrician doesn't like it because he fears he won't find the cables. But a good measured map sorts that out, and we all breath a sigh of relief.
@@Mr_A_Builders seem to have started a bit of a debate here😅 Maybe I'm a bit luckier than most, I am time served Plumbing/ Heating (Eng Tech). A qualified gas fitter. Qualified Electrician right upto Inspection/Testing and worked along side my dad who is a Plasterer. He taught me his trade. I was just saying I prefer to cut holes first, I find it less stressful. I plaster it, never had a problem with plaster squishing up the holes🤣 Just give them a quick clean out with my gauging trowel and very rarely use speed skims or flexible trowels, just my preference. Being an electrician I just put the lights in the next day. Job done no problems🙂
Hello lads. Bit of advice please? When you board it looks like you don’t add noggins to the joints? Will this not crack or is due to the board thickness?
Hi Jonathan and thanks for commenting. The plasterboard is sitting on top of 50mm rigid insulation so there’s no potential for it to sag or move. It’s also fixed very 6” with 100mm drywall screws as well 👍🏻
Very Nice Work, I start and extension more or less the same tomorrow, what happened to the Cracked Corner skim bead? Was that from drying out or has it been damaged? Finding a lot of issues with airline cracks myself lately on joints and skim beads. Especially with materials drying out, such as timbers etc 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Hi Leroy me and Mick have the same one and it’s a fiskars. Here is the link below for the one I have.

@@andrewdoherty737 that’s not what the regulation is stating in my opinion. It states about having RCD protection when less that 50mm, but is not required when protected by means such as metal trunking that meets BS 7671. The RCD protection would be provided by the breaker back at the CU for the socket circuit. I may interpret it wrong…
@@joshell2857 whilst I'm sure the regs have changed over time, unless the cable is behind dot & dabbed plasterboard my understanding was cables should always be in conduit or similary protected
@@andrewdoherty737 obviously it is best practice to do such things, but pretty sure it’s not a requirement due to regs in this case that you pointed out
