for some reason the coarser aggregate in plastering sand goes through the gun fine
have tried soft sand in the past and its a huge fail,just separates in the gun and jams
really the plastering sand knocked up at circa 2.5:1 will be a lot stronger than bricklaying mortar
if i did it again i would make it a teeny bit stiffer

whats kiln dried sand lie through the gun

[Kuts]

If you've been offered clean sleepers for a fiver each and they're not covered in tar etc then thats very very cheap!

They are reclaimed but the few iv had are spot on.
Anyone can pm me and I'll sort them out in Leeds (donations for a drink is welcome)

Gim's - thats a new one, Them sleepers sound a steal, buy em!! We weighed some scrap in once and after a bit of a haggle the scrap man he swapped us for a big pallet of what he reckoned where nasty old sleepers, we took them to a wood yard, they turned out to be burmese teak - £30.00 a foot and we had nearly 50 of them 8 foot long.....for two hundred quids worth of scrap!

we had them sawn up and built a pier into a lake and a quay side effect boarding jobby out of them down one side of it

took the hessian off this morning and pointing looks not bad


close up,slightly rougher finish than easipoint


i guess the pointing will go lighter over the weekend
IMHO I would rather use easipoint if the job allows for it but mr.pinks plastering sand jollop definitely works and at 20p /M2 material its a winner for those with limited funds
cheers LLL

tony, if you ever need easipoint in a hurry, my mate at redbourn sells it. I think its sandstone.
saves on haulage costs!

Reduce dig, cart away and footings for a local builder

Unearthed a large underground rainwater tank!



Broke the walls down to top of footings after Building Inspector go-ahead and mass filled it with crete

[GB_Groundworks]

bigger pic of that fendt dave please

what depth are the footings like 300? but you are a good way down, is it having a basement etc what the big overdig for

looks nice firm ground

be careful sean will be around saying that edge should be piled, you should have fencing and fall air bags, that gable should be braced, has that concrete driver been signed in and inducted? haha
