[kirk johnstone]

how many of you guys do much concrete work? like stable floors that have to have all the drip runs and gulleys?

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

yea all the time there s a massive demand for them round here

my missus keeps horses and the farmer that has all the stables wants me to do 12 stables for him and a courtyard should be interesting

i remember doing the half landings (well helping : ) on council stairwells, u had to use
carborundum dust on it from what i remember and use dyes to get the right colours. Put
newspaper etc on it to try and get it dry before the locals could 'tag' it. Horrible sh1t

Only seemed 'happy days' cos it was 20 yrs ago when the sun always shone an ur bird would
give u a bj without begging her. It was horrible s**t, trying to mould skirtings etc. It was
rockhard ( 8) ) gear tho. Maybe Kirk should do a how to on how to make rockhard scream.
* typo -rockhard screed ;D
