    So basically it's just those sneaky b and q trade point staff making up lies again. Just like when they tried to tell me that there Marshall town trowels for 12 pound are the same quality as you get when you pay like 70 in travis

    Keeping walls clean while doing a re skim on a ceiling

    Thanks guys, that's some top notch sheeting, Yea they had it decorated and then had a water leak, It will be one of those jobs where I spend longer sheeting than skimming.
