christy mate thou art a plant pot indeed ;D
still...if you get another 3 halogens at 90 degrees, set up the washin line indoors on a wet day and you can dry your washin!!
we used to nick the pendants out of the bedroom with the loft hatch and attach it to a length of flex with a strip connector, stick a plug on it and youve got mobile lamp to inspect roof spaces...or come to that loop the light cables round it on a newbuild extension and run it off your extension lead for winter work...
which reminds me of a tip, nothin to do with plasterin but you'll all come across it at some point in your life....when inspectin roof spaces for leaks, get up there (use a light or youll be through the ceiling) then turn the light off and wait a minute or 2...time your eyes adjust to the dark, youll be able to see daylight....that'll 9 out of 10 be your leak...

sorry to say this mate (cos i do like to see ingenuity..) but you can buy a double halogen tripod for pennies if you know where to look...toolfix/screwfix/forget jewsons and the like they just mark up..
i do like that though...shows initiative...
now what i would like to see is a scrim tape dispenser on a pole...they have a similar thing for tape and jointing....i just want a dispenser on a pole with a little trigger cutter to snip it off...o and you have to rotate it and a little 90 degree thingy comes up to do corners with...
or a splurge gun for dab application....be loads of fun...

bloody hell thats gone up, sure you can pick the double up for about 15 quid...maybe im thinkin off sommat else...
2nd bottle btw, seems like the 3rd though..
blossom hill californian....really fruity and rich, goes well with the coke (and further) :
o...low watt lamp...dunno...im thinking off a double 240v 500 watter...100 watters are shite...
know of mac tools? rep came on site, gave a wicked demo, had me sold on quite a few bits...then came the price...
'plasterers light'....basically a 200 watt bulb (standard pear shaped job) in a shatterproof 'helmet' on a stand....200 quid...no kidding...
1800 - 3m extending platform, lovely bit of kit, like a telescopic mini youngerman with ladder hooks...ideal for hall/stairs/landing...nearly 300 quid
shame really cos they have some good kit, but the bleedin prices...felt sorry for the salesman to be honest...
watch the offset step ladders though, looks like it'll do your h/s/l but it wont reach, not enough extension to reach the ceiling....

what you need to do is set up a profile with www.photobucket.com and up load the picture you want to put on plastering forum, and underneath that picture there will be 4 codes, copy the IMG CODE and paste it in the msg box, the box you write the msg in. msg if you have any problems
