Danny - we do a range of tall slim buckets all the way up to 110 ltr.

Tall slim buckets are good for thinner mixes - skim etc, short and fat buckets for heavier materials, so you can move the paddle around the mix.

People texting all day on mobile bloody phones. If you have something to say ring them and let that be the end of it. I even hate the sound of them now.

nasty c**t!!!!!!
 
Bloody customers calling you back because they can see the pattern in a skimmed out Artex ceiling... If you could be bothered to feel it you'd see it was flat you dick, stick a coat of paint on it then come complaining if you can see anything! Gah!!
Thompsons - if their rep bothers us again I'll stick my rigger boot right up his arse and kick his tonsils. Conning bastards (nothing we haven't already told them over the phone).
Bloody people ringing up saying they have one place left for a plasterer on their website... Fcuk off! If you were that good then people would be ringing you to get on and you wouldn't be so desparate to ring out.
knocking on a door at 8am to start a job and the lazy buggers are still in bed.
Radiators still on the wall 'oh I thought you'd take it off..' or rads on full blast..
..and many others that have already been mentioned.
 
problem 1, we always put a coat of bonding over the fan pattern ceilings if not the pattern can show through the decoration.
problem 2, it is far to expensive to place an add with thompsons, yellow pages etc.
problem3 tell the customer at the time of quote that you need to start work at 8am.
problem 4, we tell the customer at the time of quote that we charge £60 to remove each rad.
 
mates who cant be bothered to do a small bit of filling thinking to themselves i know what ill get andy (me) round to plaster the wall ,it wont cost me nothing.
 
Know it all customers who (used to be a plasterer) ! " in mar day we were usin 50 bags of floatin for dinner , then skim in the afternoon !!!!!!!
Yea rite assole ! Thats why u got me in t do your little ten be ten kitchen ceilin eh??????????

i never start a job at 8am if the house has kids, the last thing i want is to be going upstairs and an under 18 walking out of the bedroom/bathroom with hardly owt on, not worth the hassle

we make sure the lazy baskets are up!
 
Did one job which was student accommodation, the landlady said we couldn't get in till after 9am as they'd be still in bed. We told her either they get their lazy backsides up or we weren't coming. They got up.. Grudgingly... the place was a shithole.
 
its ok them being up malc but when they are still getting ready for school, nar nowt down for that

if the job is in the diningroom or something where you can keep out of the way till the kids have gone to school then thats ok
