asits my mother in-law im ok with fixing it myself cuz we wont be here forever and it will be her problem in the future once we move out
Set??
This is a ceiling right? Surely the boards are screw fixed. I am completely confused (again) but what you've posted. I don't think i could create a 10mm lip with 9.5mm board if i tried.

nah not a troll... what I did was made some cuts to fit in between the beams and stuck them on the back side of the ceiling with dry wall adhesive to create a surrounding edge then butterd the first plaster board I fitted as well as fixing with screws to strengthen it.... don't know if its the correct way to do it but it worked fine in the end... the reason theres a lip is due to not cutting out enough of the damaged ceiling... basically one part of the ceiling is still bowed out a little due to the water damage but the board itself is solid its not an outer lip it goes inwards.

If you are genuine then please at least get educated. Not meaning to sound nasty, horrible or anything at all. But i don't think you have anywhere near the experience or knowledge to run a business. Please look into college, an aprenticeship or something along those lines and learn. I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, it takes a particular type of person to be a tiler in my opinion. It's not for everybody.
By all means choose it as a career and set paths and goals. But take your time. You'll save a lot of people, including yourself a lot of money and heartache.

mate ive called the guy im workin with and hes got a another small job on so i cant go with him next week.... first thing Monday I will be looking into setting up a course of some sort because im not gonna be able to be consistant doing what im doing and ive realised im not gonna learn the proper way and I want to be a pro at it and tiling is for me tbh ive had a taste of it and want to carry on..... and yes ive realised its gonna take longer than a few months now and i will be taking my time and ive got the right path to go once im ready to start looking into a business... but im just not there yet... I used to be a mod on a similar v bulletin forum but about music not tiling.... I really cant see how your getting the impression im a troll as ive already explained im a novice d.i.yer im no pro nor am i gonna waste my time askin all these questions am I im not a sad case and all a mod has to do is see if someone with the same i.p address as me has ever signed up to this site before and there you would find the answer... that's how I used to catch them out as u cant change your i.p...

I don't want to be disrespectful to the guys on this site as some of you probably am the best going and obviously care about the trade and its the trade I want to go into and I prefer friends rather than enemies....
