My Bad day with Garage ceiling.

Re: What a busy day!

as you're paying him he should do a good job even if you're related. no excuse for workmanship like that and you should tell him (politely of course) that he'll never be able to support his family with work like that! keep an eye on him plasterboarding, make sure there's plenty of noggins in the ceiling, joints are taped and he uses screws not nails for the boards. good luck

Good advice, thank you Mike... screws I knew but might have forgotten, tape, yes, check, but what are noggins?

noggins are strengtheners between the joists of the garage roof. they should be fitted where the plasterboards meet so you have a solid fixing for boards to prevent movement/cracking.

Quite... not a young lad either, 40, with 3 kids already from 2 previous marriages, no point telling him he can't support a family... pfff...., let's not go there.... :sick2:

G.. just tell him straight.. or H will have to get another plasterer in..:whistling:

Re: What a busy day!

Yep, H is starting to think the same way...

Might be the best way to get a proper ceiling.

G i see your house on the computer and as i said to you it's a beautiful house very high spec ,so tell him you want a job to match your house and the quality, not a low quality job that you would find in a poor quality shed!!!!:smilewinkgrin:

One word sprang to mind when I saw that mess.............

[mikethetile]

oh dear G

families are difficult sometimes

that ceiling will never do and battens wont stop it from bowing as the boards are too thin, I would get it reboarded , you can joint it and paint it which will keep the weight and costs down

say no more about it to your daughter with the baby due next week she doesnt need the stress, at the end of the day its only a ceiling and you have a grandchild to look forward too

good job you found out what an idiot he is before you asked him to refit your kitchen

 

[faithhealer]

just read this G, wish I was as plasterer I would have done it for you, at proper tf rates, fish and chips and a lemon top
