Funny u should mention this but I done a job today with a bloke who I hadn't worked for before and he put first coat on and then put the tightest second coat I have ever seen on way to tight for me but he did do a good job if I'm honest I just don't like to work hard I like to work smart but that's just me

I had to do my own bay window, hungover from a night out celebrating...thought i'll gove it one good coat and that'll F*****g do its behind the new sofa anyway so nobody will see it.

New sofa is lower than i remember and now its all peeling off where i patched it in. Wifes threatening to post pictures and a bad review on our facebook page

To be honest mate im usually the same and like the down time but 2 sets at 4 hours is going to make for a long day....im maybe thinking just put the whole room on in one really big set but never done so much and makes me a bit nervous

Mate tell me about that one...... skimmed a mates hall stairwell dining room and lounge and it's got cracks all over, real heart ache to see. Top coat seems stuck but base coat is suspect. Should of put a bit more effort into preventing cracks but was doing it cheap. And now twice.... I literally never want to work for friends ever ever again
