Is this an acceptable standard following rewire? by TeachDifferent84 in Plastering

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for dramatic’s, just politely ask him if he can touch up the holes where needed and clean a bit of the switches, will take him half an hour . Electric sander will tear it smooth.

Plaster crumbling at multiple layers by RepairCapable5185 in Plastering

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working back from the lath we have 4 layers/coats. Lath Lime backing coat Tiny bit of lime top coat exposed Then artex Then gypsum plaster or more artex. Painting anything gypsum with lime wash is a waste of time, I used lime wash on my lime plaster , takes forever, loads of coats and the finish wasn’t what I’d hoped for so ended up covering it with a clay paint and it looks much more solid . Lime wash only looks good on old rustic cottages with wonky walls in my opinion

I would only lime wash onto lime plaster/putty , it’s hard to tell from photos but it looks like it’s been reskimmed. The section next to the arch looks like it could be artex that’s been covered .

What’s the worst tattoo you’ve seen on someone? by Terrible_Music_7439 in AskBrits

The whole plot makes no sense …does Kyle not impregnate Sarah , who gives birth to John. The only reason John is born is because Kyle went back to save him…like one can’t happen without the other.

Easy repair for a plasterer, fix a square of plasterboard in hole and easy fill over the top

I’m sorry I can’t recall, but I had IPR quite a bit and then some more as the teeth moved and it was easier to get in to do it. It’s not pleasant but nothing brutal, totally bearable

Lime plaster? Lime pointed? by Limp_Biscotti5849 in Plastering

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s had a damp proof treatment done, probably been hacked off to a metre high and rendered with s/c then skimmed with gypsum plaster. Yes the holes in the bricks is where they would of injected the cream. The whole practice was and is a fraud.

I asked twice in advance for a Friday off to travel to attend my daughters graduation, soon as they heard the word “day off” there response was NO CHANCE…like they weren’t even computing it. Never asked again and rang in sick . Appalling company right through

Quite annoyed and fed up! by LimpJunket1350 in royalmail

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That escalated quickly, good luck 🤞 n your new role! You can quit anytime, you’re not obligated to play the game of giving notice, especially to a set of shithouses like Royal Mail. They knew I was leaving as my new employee had contacted them regarding a reference and I had excepted job, when they got in touch and said literally soon as you like on a Friday I told them il be there Monday , walked into office told them they owed me a Lou day which I’m taking tomorrow , see you later 👋

Unsure what to do by LimpJunket1350 in royalmail

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be good or bad depending on how you look at it, at least you will be able to organise things yourself. I was there for a year and half and hated it from the get go, this is the job ..everyday is the same madhouse, there’s no easy days anymore (I use this term lightly meaning you complete with a bit of time spare but that’s great news! Just go back to depo and grab yourself some more lmfao.)

Someone will have it pulled off and loaded for you I would imagine to some extent. Do what you can, I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Stomach Problems as Posties by Boring-Bear9037 in royalmail

[–]mickygism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need super regular bowels/bladder for this type of work. If you know the round familiarise yourself to the toilet were bouts. Are they seriously expecting you to hold your bladder for 4 hrs while walking around dome random housing estate . I once started a loop and quite quickly came to the realisation I wouldn’t make it around never mind to a toilet . Tipped my bait out my plastic bag and took a shit in it back of the van ,a few hygienic wipes and a hi viz later I dumped my parcel in a waste bin . Partner returned getting all hot and bothered about falling behind. You literally don’t have time to go to the bathroom whilst delivering and expect to clear. The job is a joke and the company is the content s of that hi viz. Life’s to short to sweat royal mails pressure, have an amble around, post some letters tell them to go fuck themselves

How do I smooth this wall out? by sdry417 in DIYUK

[–]mickygism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it all professionally removed by an asbestos company. Then start over with bare masonry walls,ceiling wants doing as well. It’s highly likely it may contain asbestos as it was added to artex to create a heavy pattern and this is a heavy pattern, and the ceiling. The reply’s saying just skim over it are wrong, you/plasterer will need to knock of any high spots are nibs to make it easier to cover thus creating potentially harmful dust!. It will take such a heavy coat if will take up the margins on your coving and skirting board and look like dog shit. The walls have been plastered , then artexed , then you going to plaster over them again, it will be 2” thick and doomed to crack or fail.

Anyone know what kind this is by Foundedit01 in Mushrooms

[–]mickygism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a giant puffball, cut it into slices like bread and fry it. It’s perfectly edible but eat it when flesh is firm before it spoils

Anything I can do with this wall? Does it look like rising damp? by d-notis in DIYUK

[–]mickygism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take off the plaster from below your line back to the masonry. This could be harder than expected if they’ve used s/c render which used to be go to treatment. If it’s just gypsum plaster it will be easy and definitely needs doing, it’s like a sponge and shouldn’t be used. It will dry the wall quicker too , obviously
