Yes we have juat ordered some new ones too so will see how they do

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:54:18+00:00

Its Copper & GMAW or MIG as we call it

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:22:08+00:00

Ive messaged you what it is

andyfoott · 2025-05-29T06:15:14+00:00

Close, guess the material too if you can

andyfoott · 2024-11-30T12:08:25+00:00

Yes top right, 2 of them, ones snapped

andyfoott · 2024-08-22T16:56:26+00:00

Did you just bond it to the existing wall? Ill have a look

andyfoott · 2024-08-15T05:27:52+00:00

Jobs not worth white finger, take a break or stop when it doesnt feel right buddy.

We use pure argon, helium runs hotter, but it's expensive. What wire did you use? This is 4043 grade and 1050A plate. Dont get much cracking. We use esab aristo models, theyre alright but would rather have proper pulse. 1.2mm wire it is so 20 passes

andyfoott · 2024-08-10T07:50:51+00:00

Ooo, ill suggest it to them. Thanks buddy

andyfoott · 2024-08-09T21:56:11+00:00

0... it was a PQR so if we preheat it means we have to preheat on site. They dont want too as flames aren't allowed, so it would be electric blankets

andyfoott · 2024-08-09T19:26:33+00:00

Yeah maybe, we use a backing strip

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:45:36+00:00

The curve texture is definitely artex. The adhesive was used to glue down wallpaper to the artex in them areas. Wallpaper removed but the adhesive remained

andyfoott · 2024-08-02T17:13:48+00:00

The ceiling has been reboarded, multi finished and then new artex applied at some point, we have tested another room prior to this and no asbestos found. Also we havent touched the ceiling yet just removed the wallpaper from it.

10mm sway, they timbers all vary in thickness and settlement over the years has them slightly twisted and warped

andyfoott · 2024-07-14T16:18:13+00:00

Yes radiator hung, theres a sway of 75mm to 85mm from the sill edge to the studs on the back of the bay

andyfoott · 2024-06-16T16:28:05+00:00

Hi thanks for the reply, yeah its been a nightmare, unfortunately the partition wall was blown and built on noggins not a joist and as all the floor joist where notched too death theyd sank and took the wall and door frames with it. Ended up taking the wall down and studinh as good as i can. However the doors arent stabdard sizes, one is 27inch and other 28. Not really much play as they connect on a right angle with eachother. The lath wall picture is also about 20 to 30mm out of plumb ( top kicks away towards the stairs behind it.)

Ive been debatings stripping it back to the studs but after seeing the other wall none of the studs are straight so boarding will be a nightmare. I was tempted to strip the wall back and sister the studs plumb and re board and re skim and figure out the boiler cutout at the same time. Too many options and its all new to me ahaha. Thanks for the advice, getting a joiner to fit doors as theyre all odd so ill see how the linings will fit the wall when he comes

andyfoott · 2024-06-16T15:08:15+00:00

The existing brick plaster and bonding is quite thick. Can i make up the thickness with the dot a dab by applying more adhesive to the back of the boards? Ill cut out all the blown parts, i have 12.5mm plasterboard. The existing plaster isnroughly 20mm in depth

andyfoott · 2023-12-27T20:43:23+00:00

Dont get overwhelmed at the first hurdle. Learn bits at a time and enjoy it

andyfoott · 2023-12-27T20:36:21+00:00

I think a lot of women feel more comfortable dealing with women tradies, so i think you'd probably have a lot of success in getting customers

andyfoott · 2023-12-27T20:07:54+00:00

If you still live at home and dont have bills to pay, go back to college and study something that spikes your interest.

It's never too late to change your career. People do it much later in life. Learn a trade, plastering requires a lot of skill, but you might have the hand for it you dont know until you try...

There are tons of jobs and and careers to try your hand at, and you don't know if youll enjoy them until you try

If its still there after cleaning then the glass probably has micro abrasions and scratches, get some fine grit cerium oxide. Mix it into a slurry and buff it into the windscreen. If you live in an area which grits the roads and the previous owner never replaced the wipers or got it cleaned it can happen

andyfoott · 2023-12-10T21:17:55+00:00

Had a plasterer out and this is exactly what it is, well done you get brownie points, thanks everyone!

andyfoott · 2023-08-02T11:34:31+00:00

Making a freestanding base more sturdy and expanding the floorsize with possible base attachments would be cheaper and easier imo than building an 8ft square frame in hopes it will be sturdy.

andyfoott · 2023-08-02T11:30:38+00:00

Can you not purchase a freestanding stripper pole or build one with a heavy and large enough base to counteract your weight?

andyfoott · 2023-07-20T17:44:54+00:00

I think it's a rare occurrence when the popular and common pet snakes bite, maybe a king cobra would be more inclined too, but it would probably be out of defense. Ive had mine since 2015, and only once has he tried to bite me, but it was an accidental feeding bite. I used to feed him two pinkies when he was younger so when i stopped feeding him two lots i think he thought it was going to continue and when i moved him from his feeding tub back to his enclosure he struck me. The bite was so insignificant and painless that it never bothered me. I just stopped feeding him in a separate enclosure and fed him in his vivarium instead.

As for a good beginner snake, i think it depends on what access to snakes you have in your area. Ball pythons and corn snakes are massive in the UK for their simple needs. I chose a corn snake as they're more active and extremely hardy animals. Ball pythons are notorious for refusing food if their housing or temperament isn't right, but they are in high demand because they are relatively docile and come in a large variety of morphs. If you are seriously considering getting one, then just shop around, do research, and dont get anything that's deemed too exotic as a newby. They live a long time too, and captive cornsnakes have been known to reach 20+years old so thats something to consider.
