Soul destroyer

[Tobe]

Oh my god, took me 4hours to hack that off!

Never have i done such a painful and soul destroying job! Had to stop when thumb went numb! Its stuck to that wall like poop to a blanket! Just wish is was a little thicker so i can get the chisel behind it!

Is there no other way, somebody somewhere invent something that you spray on and the render disolves and runs off, oh please oh please oh please!

This message comes from my left hand as my right hand us still out there on the kango!

I think I would leave it on and look at cladding it with Marley Eternit system http://www.marleyeternit.co.uk/Facades/ ... board.aspx

Trust me dwd everything has gone thru my mind , but the plans say render! Got another 3 walls to do!

What bit are you using Tobe??? You can get a wide boy render removing sds bit with an angled head.

[Tobe]

Tried 25mm, 50mm and have a 75mm angled head! 50 mm is the most successful!

Its just stuck right on there so patience will win in the end!

In that case, I'd be tempted to grab a school leaver and give him £15 a day Nothing like a little exploitation If you wanted to be really mean you could give him a 1 inch bolster chisel and lumpy Character building

Or set an apprentice on to make you cups of tea.

[Gadget]

Forget the lump hammer, give him a pin tacker, that'll really build character!..

[Tobe]

Haha love it guys!

I got some one lined up for the others, i will finish this one so then i can pass down my almighty wisdom!

Instead of using flat bits, try one with a scutch/comb bit, they grip in a lot better than a flat bit.

[Tobe]

Cheers cb, ill get one for the other walls!

Finished it off today, was bit easier today. For some reason the blocks seemed different up higher, different batch maybe. Whats the best way to stabilise the blocks where the face has come off!

Fair play tho how you guys cope with that sh%t as a trade is beyond me! Hat is off to u all! It is def character building but has destroyed my soul!! Haha !

Cheers guys

If you are rendering it again, any large holes etc dub out with sand/cement, prior to the scratch coat.

Hoping to knock of tomorrow.
Away on another job, tue and wed.
