    Render ruined by rain

    If you haven't been back to fix it then you've left it. You said it's only small, go back and fix it, you've been paid and your names attached to it.

    Boarding ceilings

    I have a hoist but the support frame buckled, still usable, but I find the thing hard work to transport anyway so invested in these, they're expensive for what they are, but they're brilliant, easily attached (I use 60mm drywall screws), very strong, can be used on all domestic jobs as opposed...
