Couldn't live with myself doing thatit will the stay clean till friday when that last set fucks you off and you just sling it all in the van and go down the pub
First thing I always absolutely drill into young lads starting with me is keeping the tools and the work environment clean and tidy. If they can't get that, then there's not much hope for them in my viewI couldn't let any of my tools get that dirty or built up with s**t when your sticking finish on wall there's nothing worse than dragging bits of s**t around! It's a dirty job yes but cleanliness is a must for us guys were not just plasterers were like professional cleaners.... think about it
You can generally tell a lot about a tradesman by the state of there tools.
Mind saying that, I've a subbie that works for us, turns up in a 12 year old shagged out transit connect, tools in a sack, and yet his work is outstanding.
