Nice Coving!

[TonyM]

Got about 130 metres of cornice to put up over the next few days.

Shame they stacked it on top of each other and ruined a couple hundred quids worth.

Nice view out the window, where is that place Tony

 

[TonyM]

Sea Road, Carlyon Bay, St Austell mate.

 

[kebab king]

Looks lovely, you certainly get around mate.

 

[Gibbo]

[Casper]

Looks like a nice house, tony.

 

[kebab king]

Looks better than dodgy stuff you did Casper.

 

[TonyM]

Fancy waking up to that view.

 

[bodplasterer]

You'd have to kill a lot of people to get a place like that.

Are you running a matching cove around that curved room Tony?

Are you running a matching cove around that curved room Tony?

No mate. That curved ceiling is about 18" lower than the main part of the room. There is one to do downstairs but the builder reckons his joinery shop is going to make it in timber. I don't think so somehow.

 

[Gibbo]

it cant be done in timber he will make a right **** of it

The joiner turned up with the timber cove today....no chance! Looks like i'll be running it after all.
Here's a few 'in progress' photos.

[owls]

I try to keep the mitres tight so there's less making good. The cove was quite badly damaged in transit so i've had a lot of additional making good to do. Good job I didn't price it.

[Casper]

Very, very impressive Tony. I see you had a nice rose fitted. Looks like JJ's handywork!!

Too much fcuking about for my liking. Think I've doe it about ten times in total. My last one I done was in a kitchen, somehow can't get them to match up right from start to finish. My mitres are a whole different story!!
