Staying in a hotel last couple days, whoever done the skimming was no Plasterer lol pics of the en-suite ceiling, can confirm the room ceiling isn't much better. Don't know if photos do it justice, but joint scrim showing badly, scores pulling out from angles. Just bad lol

haven't you got pictures of women you're entertaining rather than pictures of shite plaster work, i'm sure Marshy would appreciate it more :inocente:(y)
 
Must have been in £1.25m2 for the skimming, no joke I know of firms in the midlands paying it and blokes working for it

Jesus I'd rather stay at home or do another job. I'd rather stack shelves in Aldi than graft my ass off on a daily basis on £1.25 just to try and make a wage while putting up with all the bullshit site politics that go with site work
 
I have that trate,anywhere I go I have to cast my roving eye over,the work som people get away with....dos my head right in!

Same here pal, the way the big firms justify it is by saying there's loads to go at, yeh there's loads to go at but I still wouldn't graft for £1.25m2

I did't even mean it, but it caught my eye. And then the rest of it caught my eye.definitely some poor workmanship. And then I couldn't believe how someone got away with that, must have been paid button's as the man says.

Spot on.

The good old days of site work has long gone, know so many people now who'll refuse to work on any large house building sites, you see all the youngsters now itching to get on site and you think Christ you're nuts.

I do this everywhere I go. TBH, it annoys me that I do it, especially with stone because there's some horrendous work here in the west of Ireland. To be honest, I know I'm not an expert in all that I do, but I do my best and always leave with happy clients, others just do give a flying fcuk.

I was just thinking that when I walk round say blue water or other places I even go to Mrs I don't know how they got away with that she calls me a boring cont lol
 
Site days for me are defo over I knew no different before recession but after that hit I took what I could and lowest I heard was £1.65 for skimming worst was they snagged the life out of it with halogen light yet wouldn't let you plaster under it, I spoke to a friend on a cornice Job the other day in Oxford Circus he went it hard hat gloves glasses boots hi vis and gauntlets all day and during day an agent goes round site taking pictures of people working then emails over to the head office where there safety officer looks for in safe working practices if any are found they are kicked off site I know all sites ain't like that but what chance have you got on the ones who do have all these rules

I remember in the midst of the recessions n, the clerks of works on lot of jobs here were tight as f**k, want the job done for f**k all, but wanted it left perfect. Something has to give in them sort of situations. Work can't be left to a high standard when money is so bad have to throw stupid settings on. Just doesn't work.
 
The worlds gone made,I mean how the fuk could you make any money under them conditions!!!!hse has a lot to answer for if you ask me....

Then it was retention citb on top of wages then on top of that if you got day work it was 110 a day and it was like it or lump it funny how we heard oh we priced this job in recession no money on job and yeah I'm not making anything on this I always think when they say that you wouldn't be doing it if no money in it I get that now every now and then on the insurance works I do at times

Mate it was 70-80 here before tax in midst of recession.:sorprendido3::rayos: Was rough for a while there. Well that was working to someone after there wonderful prices, not in direct. Persons paying that here loved the recession, paid s**t money for a good while after money was goin up n ip, bounda made a fair amount.

I think that's when plastering started to not be seen as a trade in that time
 
I've heard some stories of companies going in at break even or a loss just to get foot in door but how many of them could you do on them terms must have big cash flow

I can believe that. Better to keep afloat than go under.
