If i did do crack...i'd be doin' a shed load tonight...

Seen bathroom extractors vent from a false ceiling (with umpteen open backed downlights in it) into the real ceiling above before, but never the sub floor. Hope the timbers are all good. Crack sounds good... I'm off to Hendon (dodgy part o town round here)!!

That's a real pet hate of mine. I know a decorator that occasionally comes after me on jobs and is sloppy as hell. I bought him a roll of making tape as a hint!

any decorator worth a brushfull of magnolia would lift the accessories off and paint/paper behind them.

This bloke is ex council mate, if you stood still for 5 minutes he would paint you! He always amazes me though in that he never gets any paint on himself!

he's not atime served painter then.if he was, he'd be covered in paint. his van would be spattered all inside with gloss white over purple emulsion, and his missus would have orange hair.
