Yes but who really wants to go to Wales? ;D

The Welsh. People with an interest in sheep. The Welsh. Rainoholics and The Welsh, I'd say. Although not necessarily in that order.

PS

Think I forgot to mention people interested in really high class guitars.........

The English are like elephants.

Only make the trip to the secret valley when they want to go to Di Jones.

The best thing to come out of Wales is the M4, seriously though, the Gower peninsula has to be one of the most picturesque places in the world.

Working under pressure and deadlines


where is my order, you said it would be here buy now and the likes

[colincott]

I use it hate taking off old upholstery, when it was very dirty and had lots of stains plus worms of some sort too

It would have my itching for the rest of the day.

Finishing because waiting for finishes to dry between coats drives me nuts. I don't really mind the applying too much, provided it's oil or wax.

Anything that involves brushes or sprayguns implies cleaning of same and is to be avoided at all costs!

I thought that would have been baby wales ;D

Any way can i add tidying up to the list . Great quote from a builder i worked with a while ago when a customer asked him to tidy up . He said do i look like a f**k**g house wife ;D

[engineerone]

you can only add tidying up if you don't do it at home ;D

these days though your average polish guy does clean up after every job never have understood why the builder believes that he has the right to make even more mess than he needs.

surely your job is to instal something not add to the woes of the client?

Well if you want to pay me £170 in the hand a day i will sweep up all you want . Or you can let me get on with my work and pay someone less to do that job . Thats not to say that the person sweeping up is worth less just i charge more per hour .

[engineerone]

i am certainly not a particularly tidy person, working or not,

but was actually taught to be quite tidy when working,
not least cause often at the beginning of my working life, it was outside in the bloody cold, so i wanted to be able to find things quickly and easily.

these days i find the tidier i and my working space are the quicker i get the job finished cause i am not spending ages looking for tools or even bits of wood

i do however think that we should all attempt to leave where we are installing things at least as clean as when we went there

but then i don't have your workrate mate so who knows if i did i might be less concerned either ;D

anyway have a good crimbo

Of course i am talking about on site where someone is employed to tidy up . I have no escuse for wallowing in my own mess ;D
