Buy a mixer Lad it will save you suffering back pain in the twilight years I've been at it over 40odd yrs & it catches you up in the end

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

If you watch further into the video I used a mixer. I just did a few smaller mixes to start but as you said, prob should have got the mix out from the start. Thanks for watching 👍

[@MarsOzzie]

Maybe easier with acrylic render

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

I should have used sbr in the mix on first coat. Makes a huge difference. Thanks for watching 👍

When you brought out that barrow I thought "bloody hell he could do with a mixer" - then when you cut to the mixer it was like the 'bone throw' moment from 2001

[@RexBanner_]

I'm exhausted just watching. Think I'll just pay someone to do this job.

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

I should have done that too! Thanks for watching 👍

[@MarcusT86]

You done a cracking job there, good job, I bet it wasn't easy

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

It was a good work out! Thanks for watching 👍

Pouse, are you licking the air at 1.01?

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

Look that way! 😂

[@donnythebull7396]

Out of curiosity what's the reason for rendering and not dot and dabbig plasterboard/plastering?

[@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE]

For me it was I wanted to keep the original shape of the chimney breast, but also I have a wood burner and open fire in my downstairs rooms so this will give a long term 'seal' to poor brickwork on the chimney and it also transfers heat out when wood burner or fire is on during the winter. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching 👍
