Thanks mate

Love it! 🤣

It's excellent intro...entice the American audience with some country and western music 🎉

I'll look into this mate

I'm glad to have you here. I hope you enjoy the content

Thank you mate. Thank you very much 🙏

Because of filming it took about 4.5 hour's. Could of done it in 2.5 mate

Because I've got an adjustable neck

@@Onthetrowel 😂😂😂 that's literally what I think when I see the video 👍👏

I bet you 10 grand that it won't.

Thanks mate, that's a nice compliment, I appreciate it.

What plastering trowel are you using and why? 👍🏻👍🏻

Well said, he should be on telly, Saturday night Celebrity sciming.

Interesting what ratio do you use?

@@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor just a few hand full in each mix. Depends on how much you need.👍

Yes bro, I'm part of the anti artex army. Covering artex since 03

Well said. I like watching Kirk and his vids

Cheers guys, genuinely means alot. Thankyou

Keep a bag of bonding in the kitchen and put a spoonful in your tea 😅

They'd probably ask me first to be fair 😅

What ratio of bonding do you put into 1st mix please

@karlsklips3268 depends on the depth of the artex. Normally more a bit more multi than bond

It would be interesting video

Did you see the video where we tested the primers/sealers

Good info, I'll get onto this mate

I hear you mate, would you like to watch a full uncut and completely unedited version of my videos mate?

The music's quality , all part of the mancave productions

I think they were surface mounted originally mate

Yes, it may need de-nibbing but it may contain asbestos

@@Onthetrowel 👍

He served his time with his dad, he started plastering at 11 years old, he left school at 15 and has worked on the building sites for 8 years and then he's worked doing domestic plastering for the last 16 years... He comes from a family of plasterers and nice the birth of his first son a year and a half ago he decided to make videos for his son to show him all the things he's learned that he'd like to pass on and that's how the youtube channel was borne. 🙂👍

This will be much easier to explain on the phone mate. Can you hit the link on my channel description and shoot me an email with your number nik

@@Onthetrowel cheers Kirk, you’re a diamond mate, will send it over after work tonight. No rish with the answer bud, the job isn’t being done for a couple of months Cheers mate

Much more expensive for old lady

🤣🤣🤣

But then you risk getting plaster on the screws

@@justinwalker5237 You can clean the plaster off of the screws, it's not concrete and you won't lose the screws.

Can you put us up?

Capcut

Please don't call me nieve. In all my years of working for the public I have never, not even once been told about this file that should be updated. Not 1 single builder or homeowner has even mentioned it to me EVER... So I wouldn't say I'm nieve. Now what I expect from you is a link to the the website where this is stated &/or a link to where this file can be obtained. There's one thing about me, if I'm wrong I'll admit it and if I can learn something new to improve then I will. This is the first time I've heard of this and I'm interested in learning more

@@Onthetrowel Please don't take offence, I meant naive in its true sense, which is without knowledge that you have clearly identified - you do not know about this legislation and neither do most small builders. If you had worked for any main contractors you ought to have been aware of the CDM Regs that have applied to all main building works since 1995 and in 2015 they were extended to small works that would include domestic premises. The fact that the majority of small builders don't know about these regulation is probably because the HSE haven't widely advertised it or more importantly, enforced it. They have threatened to focus on small builders at various times and when/if they do they will make examples , I'm sure. The object of these Regs is to create a safe working environment during building works and any future operations. One of these requirements is to produce a Health and Safety File that will inform any future trades and it would be the building owner's responsibility to ensure that it is kept up to date, this file goes with the building (like the service history does with a car). That file would be ideal in this instance because as you say, following trades will be unaware of the Artex under the plaster skim. Your portion of the file in this instance would be very brief and less than a page long. Prior to 1995 on large jobs there was often a need to provide a 'Maintenance File' that was for the same purpose, so its not new. To get more information just Google 'Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015'. There was a 2023 update but I don't believe that this applies.

I get it now, this makes sense and it's a fantastic idea. Do you have one of these files for your house?

@@Onthetrowel In principle yes I have a pack of information that can be referred to when I am no longer in residence. Its not a ring binder or anything as such but a pack of drawings, to be regarded as built that would inform any builder or construction professional, the technicalities of which are certainly not immediately obvious.

I'm wearing a new trowel in, it's OK for putting on but it's not ready for toweling up and polishing yet

I appreciate that. Ill get there, bare with me

There as a very slight hairline crack mate yes

I used to get told off gor nearly everything I do 🤣🤣

Cheers mate and I will do 🙂👍👍

🤣🤣 glad you liked it mate, just a bit of fun

Just depends how thick it is mate. I've scraped hundreds but I try not to if I can

@@Onthetrowel Cheers mate, it was pretty much exactly the same as in this video - not very thick

Glad you enjoyed it

I appreciate that!
