What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

You can’t polish a turd.
Especially if the turd is in a horrible loft.

No, returning customer. Have done their ensuite, now this bathroom and next one will be the other ensuite later in the year.

Busy at home with the hall and staircase. It was all dark wood, all sanded and now white satin finish, 12 doors grrrrr. Lining paper throughout with coving downstairs. 2 walls with a feature paper and 'elephants breath' emulsion over the lining paper. Just put the new vinyl laminate down in the hall and through into bathroom.
Only been on with it for the last 2 years

I have only used the all plastic type with the hollow centre, was for a budget shower area.

Yeah. I'll only use the marine ply wood ones. Stay well away from the MDF as they just end up swelling.

I've used the plastic ones and they're OK. But they're easily damaged.
